I am a retired American came to the Philippines 14 years ago.I find it very pleasant and enjoyable here at 82 living totally on my SS each month it is a good life. Everything is so much cheaper here and there is nothing missing from what I found in the US, rnt so cheap, medical, food, transportation all so much less expensive. People very nice most speak good english, what more could a person ask for. MKL
Yamashita's gold, sir and the imperial remorse in other commentary. He us win back thiis life for the rest of US at bhakti exchange ene coin
What has that got to do with the video.. gold and the japanese? Nothing
This is not the video. Get lost
The philipino gang does not spot you yet.
You aren't American, may be phillippino.
This show myth hunters is unbelievable. Thank you for posting
Zkxmxnxmxmz m z m m m x-mmz mź
Roger was too honest ........Jeez !!!!! ... He shud not have told anyone .... Roger was a true hero .... I hope he is at peace now ....
Yamashita treasure is not true. Whatever the Japanese looted, it's been transported to Japan Mainland for their emperor.
It's not japanese like to bury gold.
@@Joanlow1440p maybe some have been brought to mainland, but not all. It was explained in the video (due to US Navy).
@@Joanlow1440pI have known people to have found the mythical treasure. It is a historical fact as stated in the video.
@@Joanlow1440p for me it could be true that the looted gold had been transported to Japan.
However, i am pretty sure that Japanese did not use just one ship otherwise they have had stupid tactics. so maybe they have distributed amongst then others were halted by American troops since world war 2 had started during the transport. possibly other ships with gold in it when to the Philippines and hide somewhere since that time the Philippines was under Japan after conquered
Roger is super intelligent. Always tell everyone when you find gold
Roger... May You Rest In Peace, And Your Soul Fly Free!!!
Fly where 😂
Roger Rojas is the SOUL...
Saw this story many years ago featured on Unsolved Mysteries. What an interesting/tragic tale. RIP Mr Rojas.
Great story and very well done, superb documentary. Poor Roger, how much injustice was done to this brave man. May he be now where there is something more valuable than gold. Hope some day we all know the truth about the missing treasure.
My father was on Okinawa during WW2! There were a lot of other Marines who saw crates that we unopened in numerous caves,but were told to just do their jobs to fight the Japanese and ignore what they saw! At 18 years, he followed orders
Why would there be anything valuable be at Okinawa ? They knew it was happening, they sent supplies for the defense of Okinawa... They were going to dig in at the shore, hold the americans in the water and sink them !
Find and read 'Gold Warriors' by Sterling and Peggy Seagrave
I live here in the Philippines and we saw lots of signs of WW2 said signs of something that buried in the area.
@@isilder The Generals looted for themselves 😂😂😂
The generals took the spoils of war with a few trusted soldiers. "Load it up but don't look inside "
Really, it was a great war story shared by an excellent ( war stories) channel
The Philippines is so beautiful. Wish i could visit. .From Kenya here.
Please contact me if you visit Philippines i know some place where Japanese hide back then
"one of those bars are worth a thousand dollars" xD yeeeeeaaaa okkkay 35:30
Words of wisdom to anything searching for treasure, If you every find anything tell nobody and bury yourself in a secret location and wair years before you start cashing it in
A pity to Roger. Remarkable resilient and respect to him!
Well done documentary crew, the way you choreographed everything 👏👏👏
Really enjoyed this super engaging one, from story, to the story telling, to the music, to the archival footage...🏆
Well, I heard this story from my best friend who is from Philippines. For me what is more Precious is the Living Jewels, the unique Flora n fauna and enchanting Nature over there. I wanna visit to have rich experience of it. 🙏
here in philippines, if you found gold..its government property...but if you found drugs, its yourssss
Gov suxks
Absolutely
Now if you also found drugs the government will also seize it, because Marcos jr. like it and will use it😂😂😂
Nexnext time u feel sorry for japan because of atomic bombings. Remember all the engineers they buried alive for gold. Let alone Bataan death march.
This Yamashita gold is a great story. The truth is dont know what to believe.
You never tell anyone where you’re looking for gold! And he shouldn’t have asked for a permit!
A friend of mine had a mini sub in the late 80's and was hired by the Philippines to find a Japanese ship that had been sunk while transporting gold. He found potential wrecks and then Marcos pulled all finances so he had to leave the sub and went bankrupt, he never really got out of the funk and died a few years later...
This treasure is somewhere in Malaysia, and I hope someday some good people will find it
Sad ending for Roger. Good documentary about this story.
Poor roger.
Indeed. 👍
This remain a legend, hearsays, theories, whatever you call it, still no solid proof but fascinating stories of our imagination....
Yes for dumb people this stays as You say it
It’s still there!!!
now this is one carzy story
I visited it when i was 9 years old and i thought it was the most beautiful country that i have ever seen. i'm from canada and i thought they had the most beautiful beaches in the world. my uncle had a restaurant in manila.
The Americans got there hands on the gold before they left the Philippines
Wow that's amazing looking
Americans shipped Philippine gold in multiple submarine trips. Estimate was 20 tons of gold.
you have the answer
That's only few. Most of the treasure hunter still find treasure. The hall Philippines island still full of hurried treasure until now
This is BS...
soo true, i read about US subs transporting gold, silver securities to diff US ports
@@tangel7409 And you actually believed it?
I have heard this treasure for over 30 years ago. I can’t believe it’s being hidden in Philippine.
Everybody talks about glamorous stuff like gold and diamonds, when it was other mundane items and materials that got lifted. A warehouse full of spices can easily wait a couple of years till things are quiet and the market opens up.
Sad story indeed suffer for no gain nothing horrible
Marcos looted Roger then US looted MARCOS , Yamashita's gold the world was looking for.
That douglas mac arthur said i shall teturn that mean to say for the gold and mac arthur asign and one of guy to handle the looted gold in the phillippines and used to fund CIA.
Thanks for ruining the documentary before it even started.
LBJ LOOTED MARCOS
Yes it was true that there is a yamashita treasure!... Japanese colonel told me that when I was in palawan last 2006 up to 2010 he teach me how to locate it? but in needs a financing for finding and working with it?
Heard Luffy and his crew still after this treasure🤔
There had been rumors of some of the sites have already been discovered in Zambales and collected by local politicians. There is even one major site found inside the jungles of Subic Bay which was once under the control of the Americans. I’m sure most treasure hunters have learned from the mistakes of Roger and just collect the gold silently.
There is sign near to our village
Possible
This video ihas a Very clear story and representation , ❤
A very old story told many times over! Some true, some fabricated.
Now, I understand why many treasure hunters were in the Philippines in the 60's and 70's.
if you are interested in this story you can Watch Lost Gold of World War II by history channel it has 2 seasons, 3rd season is discontinued they where into siargao.
Yes I already watched that I didnt expect that there where hidden chambers to the places that I visited when I was in PI some of the places are intramuros and bgc
As if anything on History channel is true! Only the MOST GULLIBLE person would believe that!
"with a wife & child he needed Yamada's gold more than ever.." 🤣🤣🤣
Roger was a thick guy. How could he even let anyone know he had found the gold?
The Intel was superb. CIA
He was betrayed someone who supposed to be the buyer
My grandfather said ( I bet my life) the hundred of trunks were not removed
I would have never told anyone I was looking for it
Somebody would have found out about it especially if he was going into the town to buy supplies somebody would have caught on if that's what he was doing
Well maybe so but I would not
An wonderfully story video of the Philippines
The coconut secret 144
Now the story repeat itself
Looks like the lawyers made the most
If there was rumours of the treasure of yasimoto that would mean that someone else had to know about the places that is was buried at and they also had maps of the bobytraps as well so they could be able to get it if they were able to translate the codes on the maps
Roger really is the one to find one piece treasures...
Rojas could have been smarter hiding the found treasure
Maybe he did hide some of it 🤠
This was true according to the son of mr.Roxas. When my father was still living he told us a story about the yamashita treasure and it was real.
Do not tell anyone if you found it
An uncle I know joined a group who still search for it. Our former mayor allegedly was successful to find gold bars near an old school. I've seen men dig nearby our home for gold bars though they were not successful. My great grandfather told stories about him seeing Japanese dig and bury gold bars near us but the Japanese took them back because the US soldiers are near. He was hiding at the top of a coconut tree they said.
In Our town they found some of the stash, Bambang Nueva Vizcaya 5 people died including my uncle from hydrogen cyanide, but on the news they said it's methane poisoning but the victims have burnt skins from exposure.
Philippines has a lot of story to tell but they don't make a lot of films regarding WW2 they should have a lot of interesting stories.
Gold has been stolen since it has had any worth . How else would does one get gold ? Buy it ? Not likely
I hope that it is true
175 sites, this is the only one found. Sus.
Read some other comments.
Many treasures have already been found and different locations
Damn...
Yun nayung mga naka deposit sa ibang bansa...napaka wise ni Apo...
This seems to fanciful.
As soon as Roger decided to obey the law and announce his find he was doomed.
and the u.s.a. has it at this time ,
18:30 Warsaw, Hamburg, Berlin, Stalingrad, Hiroshima etcetc…
The gold are not buried anywhere, it's was taken directly into Japan.
They knew the aftermath of war will cost a lot.
Gold was hidden in Japan by the Emperor's men.
dont you know japanese companies in Philippines was secretly recovered yamashita gold. Japanese company even bought an entire Island just to recovered gold with a help from local government.
meanwhile somewhere in the South Pacific or SE Asia, lurking in a different bar, everyday a convincing person will be telling the story (to a new resident or tourist) of the lost /stolen Japanese gold and they think (no, they are certain) they know where it is, and can you buy a truck and an excavator... we'll go 50% each. They were there when they were a kid and saw it happen...... yeah, Na
"...he died."
Thats all. No how. Just the day before he wins the case. 🤨🤔🧐
Rumors...
Most of the gold in luzon with this province as ff.175 site ...1.nueva viscaya 2.isabela.3.ifugao.4.cagayan valley 5 quezon province 6.quirino province,7 pangasinan,8 benguet or mauntain province most especially in baguio this 8 provinces are the yamashita gold banker but most of the gold buried in ifugao province,isabela and nueva viscaya. Thats fact i knew many old hunters before and they proved it.🎉
Treasure hunter went to our house and told my father that he has map of gold and it was buried on our land with proof. One of the 3 mango tree has triangle 7 inches nail on the body. The nail was real but the treasure I don't know
Roger Rojas is a hero! He found at least some of the stolen treasure, and should have at least been paid a finders fee Yes the Marcos' were propped up by the US, didn't anyone ever wonder how they were simply exiled? I bet it was because they turned Yamashita's gold stash over to America and all was forgotten! RIP Roger Rojas!
30 years ago and we are lost
These narrators are very good at story telling but it doesn't mean they know the truth from from it.
Go on reveal??
One of the most brutal dictators and most unquestionably a thug at 1:25.
I wonder where he got the map from?
Harrison Ford.
Spiderman
Most of you people didnt understand that this treasures? gold? pearls? whatever there is? this were already returned..and quite frankly there so many scattered pieces of ww2 history left in tanay rizal and some havent found yet...
ROGER DIDNT DIE NATURALLY, HE WAS KILLED
Heart-breaking and tragic. A salute to Roger
is there any reason to believe more sights have not been found? 175? id think at least a few have been found by now.
Im filipino and many have already been found including our province.
So instead of putting the looted gold on a aircraft or warship and bring it to Japan they hide it in the jungle? Yeah, makes sense...
That's why this story is total BS. There is no Yamashita gold hidden in the Philippines.
they were blocked
it was blocked by U.S. submarines.
Well, this story is a good lesson to learn from 🤙!
I would of taken all the diamonds and buried them in the back yard and a lot of the gold bars I would of buried right in the cave complex
I think Marcos found it and kept it to himself.
And buried in Malacañang Palace when he was there, and now his son digging a buried sight of gold.
Poor Philippines .
@@hopeshinesbright8337have you wonder why there is a secret shipment of golds to thailand during aquinos days!?
Not found but steal it because he was then in a position and he was in total hold of the military
Never trust anyone, just keep low and market your hidden treasure
Where is the buddah statue right now??
Two had found in our barangay. And this gold treasure is very true. Hopefully the rests will be found.
Luzon kayo lods?
He shouldn’t have took it home he should have moved it all to a warehouse by himself! Where it couldn’t be found!
When Roger died, did his son not take up the quest to pursue the law suit?
Really SAD Story
Don't take every words as facts, just watch for entertainment
Golden Buddha dapat ng ibalik sa may ari!!!🇵🇭🏴☠️🇺🇳☮️🛰📡Launch! 🚀🚀🚀
So Marcos just let Imelda take a sneak peek at a careless mound of 100 dollar bills for her to quickly say I DO?there's always a very simple method for doing the most difficult thing.
$1000 a gold bar? Damn they’d be over $100K now

And that’s how it should be
Yamashita was "Gangsta"........he knew what he was doing, it was a fall back, if he lost the war, his name would go down in history and lose face, but on the other hand........his name would linger on in the history about the man that hid gold which was lost but redeemed later...just saying!
All those treasures were looted from Singapore anyway by the Tiger
It was all the gold he stole from him! Why wouldn’t he have hid boxes of the gold? I just don’t understand why he said anything to anyone?
Wherever country you find treasure { EUROPE, USA, CANADA, ASIA, ...} specially bulk if the government knew it they will take it. Better not tell anybody even to your family.
Yamashita's gold is a misnomer, say the authors of the book, Gold Warriors. They claim Yamashita came to the Philippines only after construction of the last treasure vault.
Pretty sure it's buried in a Swiss bank
I am just wondering why didn't any of the japanese soldiers go back and retrieve the gold. At least one knew where it was, he drew a map....?
