Since the 16^th century the Philippines, named after king Philip II of Spain, a debt laden country populated by a very hard working and resourceful people, has been ruled by some of the most ruthless regimes ever known. In 1565 the Spanish conquistador Miguel Lòpez de Legazpi arrived in Cebu and set up a colony which began Spanish rule that endured until 1898 when the Philippines gained independence. 333 years of being ruled by one of the world’s greediest and ruthless regimes. The Spanish were famous for their lust for gold and silver and no doubt took tons of the precious metals from the Philippine islands back to Spain.

With a history of Spanish rule you would think the legends of buried and sunken treasures would be referring to this period but you would be wrong. The stories of buried treasures come from another time when the Philippines were ruled by another ruthless and bloodthirsty regime, that of the occupying forces of Japan during the Second World War. The Japanese were waging war on the United States, the world’s foremost industrial powerhouse and to do that they had to finance it by ill gotten gains. They systematically robbed and looted bank depositories, churches, mosques and private homes of the countries they conquered and controlled.

Clint Eastwood Kills Lee Van Cleef In Shootout.

The Good The Bad And The Ugly.

I grew up in the sixties, The TV at that time was dominated by western series full of killings and scalping such as Bonanza, The High Chaparral, Paladin, Gun Smoke etc. The 60’s era also brought to the big screen some memorable westerns and my favourite of them all is, The Good The Bad And The Ugly. A story set in the American west during the civil war, starring Clint Eastwood, Lee Van Cleef and Eli Wallach. Three characters so different yet so alike, Clint Eastwood plays ‘Blondy’ the good, a cool cold blooded gunslinger, Lee Van Cleef plays ‘Angel Eyes’ the bad, a contract killer and opportunist, but for me Eli Wallach’s character ‘Tuco’ the ugly, also a heartless killer, is the man of the movie. I love his expressions, when he is in tight situations or when he gets the upper hand, his eyes say it all.
