Hi and hello to my old buddies and friends here!,
Ironies do sometimes happen, I was so overjoyed albeit, a little bit intoxicated with alcohol last new years day that my reaction time lessened and least I know I stumbled on my bike and burned a little skin on my right leg hence I am here recuperating at my abode and was absent from my work. Turning this unfortunate event into a "blessing in disguse", I had then this luxury of time to write to you again. I opened my message box here, that after I posted at my thread in Imperial Japanese Mapmaking in context to Philippine Treasure Hunting about a recent? recovery. There was this query sent to me by a new member here that in my view warrants an educational answer. Well for him and for the benefit of some other members, I posted my reply here and it goes something like this;

First, JICA is not a company but it's an agency (Japan International Cooperation Agency) set up by the Japanese Government to serve as "HELPGUISE" or disguised help ( but they really leave some help to disguise their true intentions) to any countries they have interest especially the Philippines. Yes they offer ""Individual Technical Cooperation" Individual Expert Dispatch: 14 (Long-Term Experts)
That Individual Expert Dispatch are usually Japanese experts in different 14 fields specifically suited by their plan of activities in the Philippines see below;Activities in the Philippines

Now, as you see, they set up advisories in many of our sensitive govrnment agencies and posts like the PNP,DPWH,DENR and Agriculture, do you get the connection here??, its a handy plan and preparation if coercion is needed..Yes, they might help train (but not teach them everything to greater extent) but to use someone to penetrate areas that seems impenetrable by them.
Lastly, i doubt people who claim they are trained for 8 years just to study the art of deciphering,decoding, unlocking and recovering
Golden Lily, looted treasres hidden here in the Philippines. There are indeed people who are in the know but generally they are the assigned japanese guardians, strugglers we call them that blended already with the indigenous native filipino folks. So be careful of pretentious people they might be up for grabs only for your pockets..
