Tallano gold

Tallano gold refers to a set of interrelated conspiracy theories that supposedly state that before Spain colonized the Philippines, the archipelago and surrounding territories were ruled by the Tagean Tallano family, that the family owned a vast amount of gold, and that the former president Ferdinand Marcos obtained his family's unexplained wealth by receiving some of the Tallano gold as payment for legal services.[1][2][3] Offshoots of the conspiracy theories include tales that the country's national hero José Rizal survived his execution, that the gold reserves were used to fund the Vatican, or that the gold was instrumental in starting the World Bank.
