THE Bureau of Customs (BOC) under Commissioner Ariel F. Nepomuceno expressed satisfaction on the outcome of the auction of several luxury vehicles, most of them previously owned by the disgraced contractor-couple Curlee and Sarah Discaya.
During the auction held last February 25, the BOC announced it earned over ₱102 million, with 9 out the 13 of the Discayas’ vehicles that Customs seized last September 2025 among those sold.
“Restitution and transparency are at the core of our mission with these vehicles and in every enforcement action we undertake,” said Commissioner Nepomuceno.
“The BOC returns these funds to the Bureau of the Treasury, where they can be used to support and fund programs of the national government for our countrymen,” he added.
Of the 12 vehicles auctioned, 7 were linked to the couple of which 3 were actually sold during the auction.
They include the Discayas’ 2024 Lincoln Navigator that went to Cantinetta Espresso Concepts for ₱6.950 million; the 2022 Cadillac Escalade ESV was won by Igorot Stone Kingdom Inc. for ₱6.623 million, and the Bentley Bentayga went to TDY Consumer Goods Trading for ₱12.178 million.
These sales alone generated ₱25.751 million, and including registration fees, the total proceeds reached ₱25.771 million.
