In the previous post, we discussed about a Yamashita treasure hunt at the BCC (Baguio Convention Center) led by Eliseo Cabusao Jr. This site is a government property but he was able to acquire permission from the City Council to excavate or drill the area. However, he was racing against time because of the limited 60 days period given to him to accomplish his goal.

The month when Mr. Cabusao started his operation was on the month of March. So from the time of this post, his completion period is now far over. The big question is, “Are they able to recover the suspected Yamashita treasure at the BCC?”

Unfortunately, there is no way for me to confirm about what they have actually accomplished. So I contacted a close friend of mine from Baguio and according to him, he never heard any further reports from their local or regional news. All we can do until this point is to speculate. In my own opinion, maybe it is best for them to keep everything a secret regardless of the outcome of their project.

Let us assume that Mr. Cabusao successfully recovered the buried treasure and the news goes public nationwide. Do you think that there is a benefit for him? I do not think so but rather the opposite. Then on the contrary where he failed or found nothing, he will be put to shame.

Anyway, Mr. Cabusao was featured by Jessica Soho (Kapuso mo Jessica Soho) on one of her documentary reports entitled “Gintong Kuwento ng Yamashita”. You will get to watch him talk about his project at the BCC.

Anonymous Tip about the Treasure Deposit at the BCC

Mr. Cabusao’s main source of information in excavating a site at the Baguio Convention Center is a 90 year-old US immigrant who claim that he took part in burying the Yamashita treasure. His secondary basis is that, he consulted a certain group who utilizes the satellite for detecting gold. And according to him, they confirmed the presence of gold on that area.

Now, here comes an anonymous commenter of my blog. He claim that he used to work as a driver of a former Japanese soldier back in 1990’s. And, it seems to me that they went to travel on various places searching for the best site to recover a hidden Yamashita treasure deposits. One of these places that the Japanese soldier visited along with his driver was at the BCC site. On their trip and exploration, the Japanese soldier revealed to him the exact location of the item.

According to the driver, Mr. Cabusao’s suspected site which is within the Convention area is “100 meters off” from where the item is exactly sitting. Other than this, the Japanese soldier told him that the treasure is a tunnel deposit so he showed him the entrance. The clever driver then tried to remember a tree as a marker to the exact opening of the tunnel. Going fast forward to our current time, when he recently passed thru the area it is so unfortunate that the tree is no longer there. But even the tree was gone, he claim that he can still remember the exact spot.

My Final Thoughts about the BCC Treasure Deposit

Underground Tunnel Deposit

At first, my speculation about the treasure deposit at the BCC was buried in a traditional way which is done by digging starting from the surface of the ground then going down to a certain depth. But through various sources that I came across, it is an underground tunnel deposit. Even Mr. Tony Wells pointed it out on his comment. (For those who does not know, Mr. Tony Wells is the true legend of Yamashita treasure hunting here in the Philippines. He is the owner of TSEAT – The Southeast Asian Treasure Connection, which is one among the most reliable sources that talks about treasure hunting industry.)

Mr. Cabusao and Anonymous Driver Should Collaborate

If it is uncertain that Mr. Cabusao is able recover the Yamashita treasure at the BCC site then he might need all the help he can get such as collaborating to the anonymous commenter. It’s because Mr. Cabusao might be the first and the last treasure hunter given permission by the City Council to operate at the BCC area. His failure might even cause disappointment to the City Council where all other treasure hunters seeking permission in the future will no longer be allowed.

Anonymous Commenter

It’s a huge thanks to him that he shared a vital information about the treasure deposit at the BCC area.

To the anonymous commenter, if you are reading this post then I suggest that you should investigate Mr. Cabusao’s project. All you need is to know is if they “succeeded or not”. If they succeeded then this is a confirmation that the deposit which you claim 100 meters away from the BCC site is probably another or separate nearby deposit.

Moreover, if it happens that you are from Baguio (a highly urbanized city situated at the northern Luzon of the Philippines) and you have some information about Mr. Cabusao’s Yamashita treasure hunting operation at the BCC site. Then, feel free to share them on the comment down below.

Updates:

I will be making additional info here about the recent updates of Prof. Cabusao’s BCC project.

GSIS Claims to Own the Property

Huge thanks to Jed Nevin from Facebook about this information. Professor Cabusao’s operation is put to halt due to the reason that GSIS claims to own the property that he and his crew intends to drill. Thus, they need to conduct a re-survey to determine who really owns the property before they can push-through on their operation.
