![]() ![]() Research shows they stole between $5-10 Billions Dollars and most of it was hidden in overseas banks and never recovered. It's been disclosed in court records there. The treasure was found and stolen by a former ruling family there (The Marcos regime). And, realistically, after 5 minutes of online research. Basically, we have an elderly local who's become a local legend by telling foreigners wild stories. OR, maybe one of the previous treasure hunters tossed an empty pop bottle down the hole. The Japanese army often rigged poison bottles to kill treasure hunters. "That's Amazing! It must be a broken poison bottle. ![]() They find a previously dug tunnel and put a video camera down it. I'm pretty sure a pre-teen Filipino boy was fluent in the Japanese language. ![]() Remember, THE JAPANESE SOLDIERS SPOKE JAPANESE. Sure, they asked the locals "can we borrow this a few nights a week", right? And, he watched another local local get his head chopped off by them and still played around them and heard what they were saying. He supposedly owned a pack animal that the Japanese army used at night. Oddly enough, he would have been a very very young child when this all happened. Grandpa is an old guy who claims to be a witness to everything they ask him about. A few of the silly things: 1)They based the entire search so far on wild stories that 'Grandpa' tells them. Namaste!Įverything about this series is silly or ridiculous. Just a TV show to watch every Tuesday night with a cold beer in hand. All in all, I highly recommend this show. He looks Filipino but perhaps grew up here in the States. I also like Jeremy, he seems pretty strong and jolly. My grandfather told me that his Filipino comrades saved his life a number of times. It reminded me of my grandfather's Filipino comrades, they were silent most of the time but dependable when the need arise. He seemed cautious but appears to know what he is doing. It's more of a question than a matter of fact. They seem to know what they are doing but keeps me thinking as they seldom say definite statements. ![]() Yes! Those people are great! I know that this is just a TV show but I can relate to the show's story and get me hooked to see what's next. He and his comrades spent a lot of time in the mountains while the rest of the family stayed in the city enjoying the scenery and the people. We spent a few days in Makati but mostly in Northern Luzon where my grandfather met with his former comrades. He brought the whole family there years and years ago when I was still in grade school. My grandfather was a US Army intelligence officer during World War II in the Pacific Theater and I remember him telling us a lot of good things about the Philippines and it's people. I rate this show a TEN! This TV show tells a lot about World War II that a lot of people are starting to forget. Despite all the recapping in each episode and it big repetitive in places I'd have given it 6 or 7 stars as it's been an interesting way to pass the time, but it all builds up to such an anticlimactic ending that the whole series feels like a huge waste of time. Everything that's spread out over the seven episodes could have been done just as respectfully and informatively over two or three and the last episode is a bigger anticlimax than a Christmas if nobody turned up. Sadly any frustrations they seem to have through the series become dwarfed by your frustration as in the dying minutes of the end of the last episode (series 1, ep 7) the crew find an entrance and the credits roll - you're shown no investigation, no hunt now they're clearly on the right path, nothing. Over the first few episodes you feel the frustration of the crew as they hit dead end after dead end looking for entrances and tunnels but getting nowhere, although as series one goes on you quickly pick up the feeling that none of them really know what they're doing or what they're talking about, even their expert who claims to have decades of experience has a 'winging it' air about him. The idea is a great one, looking for lost treasure! The show is based around historical facts and does well to reel you in early on, I watched on loosely but was soon hooked on finding out whether or not they'll find a way into the mountain that they're certain contains treasure. ![]()
