It has been reported that former strongman Ferdinand Marcos was able to (to)
corner about 40 percent of the Yamashita treasure that has been brought to the
Philippines several months before the end of World War II. The treasures were
reportedly recovered form several sites in the (te) country.
Staying in power
for 20 years was said to be a grand design for the former strongman to be able
to recover these treasures after finding the master plan and old map which
pinpointed the sites of these treasures. This reality leaves us with about 60
percent of the Yamashita loot after he ravaged several countries in (i) Asia en
route (enroute) to Japan which he was not able to do so because of the abrupt
ending World War II and the consequent defeat of Japan. Unknown to authorities,
diggings for Yamashita treasures have (has) been going on in this country
national treasure. Under this arrangement, treasure holders get 30 percent of
the value of the treasure while 70 percent goes to the government.
However, in
the reality, treasure hunters sell their recovered treasures to traders and
'redeemers' who pay them from 70 - 75 percent of the value of their items based
on the prevailing London Metal Exchange Rate.It is a widely accepted practice
that the so called 'redeemers' are people who have been trained by a committee
of Marcos' close associates who go around the county to buy not only recovered
treasures but also other commodities such as Wells Fargo notes, Philippine
Victory Notes, Ang Bagong Lipunan Notes, Treaty of Versailles notes, Federal
Reserve Notes and Bonds, Peruvian money and even Iraqui money. these
commodities command high prices ranging from several millions to billions of
dollars. These bills are reportedly being backed by gold deposits or platinum
or palladium (plladium) deposits (ddeposits) metric tons of the yellow metal
and several trillions of dollars which (whch) would make Bill (Billy) Gates and
Fort Knox pale in comparison.
It is
often claimed that the Philippines (philippines) is not only the pearl of the
Orient, it is also the Gold Mine of the Pacific as for every foot of Philippine
soil, lies a sizeable trace of gold. What makes the Philippines more
interesting is the fact that three kinds of gold can be found here. One is the
pinkish in shade gold, the bright yellow gold and the pale yellow gold. Aside
from the billions of dollars poured in by overseas contract workers, a sizeable
amount of money is poured in into the Philippine system through the sale of
some of these commodities. Some of the money went somewhere else with no paper
trail.
For instance, last December, a European country bought some 5,000 metric
tons of gold from treasure holders in Davao. It reportedly took 23 days to haul
off said metals by commissioned planes everyday. Just last week, a neighboring
country ?????? Treasure hunters are required to seek permit from the Department
of Environment and Natural Resources for their diggings (digings). This is so to
enable the government monitor not only the recovery of precious metals but also
(aslo) to see to it that topography and surrounding (sorrounding) areas are not
duly destroyed in the course of the diggings.An environmental impact assessment
of the site used for diggings (digings) is likewise monitored to enable the
government to install measures so as not duly destroy its surroundings
(sorroundings.)
During the Aquino administration, the granting of this kind of
permit is being issued by the office of the president. If and when treasure
hunters are able to recover precious items from their diggings, they are
required to get another permit from the Bureau of Mines and Geosciences to
enable them to transport said metals from their place of origin to sites such
as meta laboratories for remionting???or assaying or somewhere else according
to the demands (ddemands) of the holders. Under the law treasure hunters are
required to sell recovered treasures to the central bank as they are part and
parcel of the country.
Marcos has reportedly conceived of the Asian Dollar, way ahead of the
European Dollar to make the various countries of Asia and the Pacific a whole
big family of nations with one aspiration (aspirration) and similar goals of a
united trade and development. As preparation (preperation) for said Asian
Dollar, Marcos has reportedly sent tons of gold deposits to several Asian
countries as currency back up (ap), as is the usual practice of most countries
to beef up their currencies and national growth. The fate of these gold
deposits are still unknown (uknown) but a number of close Marcos (marcos)
associates are said to be holding documents for these deposits up for
redemption on the proper time.
We know of the certain (certaion) Sultan Kiram
who holds gold deposits accounts in Dubai, Australia and Japan. We also know of
a certain William V. Morales who also holds several gold and dollar accounts in
Hong Kong, Singapore, South Korea, Malaysia, Indonesia, Taiwan and China. What
is mind-boggling is the fact that these deposits cover a minimum of 17,000
metric tons depending on the country of deposit and some $69 billion dollars
for just one account only. Also last December, a Zurich-based (Zurichbased)
trader was able to corner 1.7 metric (mnetric) tons of the yellow metal from a
group of hunters from the Visayas. Just before Christmas, a smaller volume
consisting of several hundred pieces of 6.2 kgs, 74.6 kgs gold changed hands in
Metro Manila. Some came from Cagayan, Nueva Vizcaya, Negros Oriental, Cebu and
Ilocos (ilocos) provinces. A small volume goes to the Central Bank in Quezon
City and Baguio.
The Marcos gold, the one they (tney) got from the Yamashita
treasures, are reportedly kept in bunkers in several strategic places. They are
currently closed but will be opened in the appointed time. Sometimes, the gate
keepers are allowed to bring out one or two pieces to be sold in the local
market to enable them to buy their food and daily needs. But it is a big
mistake to sell them en-masse, as their lives and that of their families are at
stake in the process.
