i would probably agree to gboy's story.... before the ww2  2 japanese resided in a town in rizal, the one was known by "oki" by the locals and the other i forgot his alias. Both mingled well with the local townfolks , posed as farmers and even had  local wife . But when the war broke out, they we're surprised to see both men came out dressed as officers (colonels)of  the japanese imperial army. Later they found out that both men are surveyors making maps of
 whole manila and rizal area

I have this vision of a small Japanese guy dragging thousands of Kg of gold behind him, now in our modern world this would not pause too much of a problem, just pop a few roller skates under the load and pull it behind you on a nice,smooth concrete side-walk, Ho and not to mention that the load will get less as you make your way through to central park where you will hide it naturally.

We are talking about a jungle so thick in places that a man can hardly get threw it at times, without any load not to mention the swamps that one can encounter just about anywhere so it can take a strong man days just to cover a few Km.
 
The other thing that keeps popping to mind is an army of angry men chasing or beloved Yamashita with his burden and he still finds the time to bury this "Treasure" at some incredible depth, not only dose he manage to keep his enemy at bay while digging these huge deep holes, but he even finds a way to get some superman concrete and poison gas sent to him, he even has time to make Booby traps and place treasure markers all over the island for everyone to see (a truly fascinating feat).

OK so General Tomoyuki Yamashita was a war criminal we know that and the chances that there is some gold/valuables hidden in the Philippines is very probable but by the same token if I were to find jewels and gold I would not go and advertise it either, another thing to keep in mind is that every year people die from digs that collapses on them, others are maimed and all that for something that probably will never be found anyway.

Do not despair the Philippines is a very rich country in minerals, there are countless amounts of treasures to be found like fossils, gold, nickel and copper among a horde of other things like flowers used for fragrance. Come to think about it with some home made equipment you could be out there finding real gold in a mater of days. 

The Philippines is a country where there is a huge amount of history and therefore there has to be a lot of historical artifacts to be found you just have to look in the right place for them and if by chance you were to stumble on some gold bars well then good for you.
