Why would Yamishita bury anything valuable on Panay? It was a backwater thinly garrisoned that we took fairly easily late in the campaign.

Yamishita himself took personal command of the largest Japanese force and fell back into the mountains of Northern Luzon, where he fought a sharp and bloody defensive campaign. If he wanted to bury something, that remote mountainous terrain would be the place.
