Hello all

Just a question for clarification for all Yamashita hunters

 In the Roxas case against the Late president Marcos. What was the name of the Japanese soldier that first claimed to have knowledge of the burial of treasure in the hospital grounds?

Thanking  you all in advance.

Hardluck

"Roxas worked as a locksmith in Baguio City, the Philippines. He was also an  [**1219]   [*101]  amateur coin collector and treasure hunter. In 1961, Roxas met a man named Fuchugami in Baguio City, who claimed that his father had been in the Japanese army and had drawn a map identifying the location of the legendary ?Yamashita Treasure.? The treasure purportedly consisted of booty, which had been plundered from various Southeast Asian countries, during World War II, by Japanese troops under the command of General Tomoyuki Yamashita and which was allegedly buried in the Philippines during the final battle for the islands in order to keep it out of the hands of the Americans."

Hello All

Thank you RO for the interesting post.  Great

In most accounts I have seen the son's name is mentioned but not the fathers name who was the soldier in the Philippines in WW2. Huh?

according to the old folks of Baguio,before WWII, many Japanese nationals were already in the City and nearby Municipalities working as vegetable gardener and married to the natives of the Cordillera's that when the war broke out it turn out that they are soldiers of the Japanese Imperial Army....that's why in the City you can find many bearing Japanese names and so with nearby La Trinidad, Benguet where you can find a small village almost have a Japanese family names, that if you go deeper in the north, in Sagada, there are families that have Yamashita,Takahashi as their family name.....

Hello taga_bantay

Thank you for the interesting post. It was some thing I was not aware of the presence of Japanese living in Luzon before WW2.

Greetings....as with most tall tales, the name of the person who told the other person where they can find treasure is nonessential. If that where the case, there would be a lot of Mr. Once Upon A Time's in the world    Wink

Hello All

RO: That is a popular perception! Ah but even tales can have an element of truth among the lies, half truths and innuendos.

There are many aspects of the story that clearly needs a little investigation further, so I am not too inclined to write off the whole story just yet.

Roxas and his family as well of the Marcos Family have of course there own ulterior motives that has much clouded the issue. Many of each of the parties claims cannot be trusted to detail.That you can be assured of.

But perhaps we need to look a little deeper behind and beyond the smoke and mirrors and eventual hysteria that developed into what I call "Yama syndrome"?

There is many unanswered questions. for example such as identity of this alleged Japanese soldier?

Other questions spring to mind if General Yashitama had been involved in hiding gold, then why did he not try to bargain the treasure with General MacArthur for his life?

Perhaps I am looking through Western Eyes and not looking at the Japanese cultural aspect of a military Officer in WW2?

Another question why did Yamashita not chose suicide like so many Japanese officers of Era. He chose to surrender and face a War crimes tribunal?

Some of these questions I think might be possibly answered in General MacArthur's personal correspondence. 

Hardluck

It is not that strange because the UK had Japanese and German People living there right up to the early stages of WW2
So it was not as uncommon as we think, And the UK was in the War for six yrs, right from the start til the very end.
