@elcolonialista: The Forgotten Gold Drain of the Philippines The Philippines was once glittering with gold. Rajahs and datus wore belts, armlets, and ornaments that dazzled visitors long before conquest. But when the Spaniards arrived, wonder turned to greed. Homes and even burials were looted, treasures declared by law and drained through the royal fifth. Heirlooms were melted into chalices, shipped on galleons, and lost to empire. Centuries later, the Americans industrialized Benguet’s mines, funneling wealth overseas. In World War II, Japanese forces seized what remained, leaving behind only the legend of Yamashita’s Gold. Today, only fragments survive, masks, necklaces, and chalices locked in museums, echoes of a nation that once glittered with gold, and of how greed turned brilliance into loss.
