Phillippines cracing down on seekers of Yamashita's treasure

According to the April/May issue of World War II magazine, 22 people were arrested while digging in a tunnel in Mt. Banahaw in search of Yamashita's treasure. The article claims that after the war that the OSS interrogated the soon to be late General's driver and found about a dozen treasure troves, which became the CIA's slush fund for the cold war years. Mt. Banahaw is considered a sacred mountain and the tunneling and the presence of tourists with metal detectors was damaging the natural beauty of the area were the pretext for the arrests and the barbed wire barricading of some of the trails.
