Baganing Balyan, if you have not seen the gold masks but would like to see them, then visit the Metropolitan Museum (along Roxas Blvd), or the University of Santo Tomas (UST) Museum. While you are at the UST, check out the library. You will find lots of references there on the Philippines' past. Afterall, UST is the country's oldest university. By the way, also check out the Central Bank Museum which is also along Roxas Blvd. You may find gold stuff there as well.
Your passion for research is inspiring. You may want to deepen that research by talking to local experts and professionals who spend their lifetime gaining such information (as there is much still much not written in the internet). Universities like UST, the University of the Philippines, the Ateneo de Manila University, Mindanao State University, Xavier University in Cagayan de Oro, etc, etc. have very informed professors, anthropologists, historians, who can help you. It would be great to hear the result of your further research. Good luck!!!
