"Yamashita: The Tiger's Treasure"
2001
Directed by Chito S. Rono

A teenager finds the clues to a hidden treasure in the coded, wartime diaries of his grandfather. Soon, he and his chums are in hot pursuit of the Yamashita Treasure, but a dangerous mercenary is also after the prize. Compared to most Filipino cinema, this adventure film is a rather extravagant production. The filmmakers' efforts paid off with a crowd-pleaser that won 11 awards at the Metro Manila Film Festival. Filipino with English subtitles.  113 minutes.
