This is our Philippines – Ilagan Japanese Tunnel Ilagan City, Isabela







The Ilagan Japanese Tunnel was built during the
Japanese colonization in the Philippines. The Japanese used many tunnels that
were built for defensive purposes. Mostly, the Ilagan tunnel served as
headquarters for Japanese soldiers and as an arsenal of the Japanese Imperial
Army during World War II. Inside this Japanese tunnel in Isabela, you'll find
machine guns, bombs, explosives and different ammunition. The tunnel is divided
into chambers or compartments that acted as makeshift offices or quarters of
Japanese soldiers and sometimes used as dungeons for prisoners of wars. This
tunnel is also believed to be a place where Yamashita treasures such as Golden
Buddha replicas, gold bouillons, coins, diamonds, platinum and other vintage
items that survived the war were kept. 
Although there may be a majority who think that
the Ilagan Japanese War Tunnel is a cave, it is actually a man-made tunnel
constructed by imprisoned local Filipinos. Because of their sweat and blood,
this Japanese war tunnel in Isabela came to being. 
Take a bus or van to Ilagan or Tuguegarao City if you’re coming from
Manila and alight at Bonifacio Park in Ilagan. There’s an Information Center at
the park where a guide can take you to the Ilagan Japanese Tunnel.
