MANILA, Philippines — The Bureau of Customs (BOC) has raised P102.468 million through auction of the luxury vehicles of Curlee and Sarah Discaya, who were linked to the anomalous flood control and infrastructure scandal in the past year.
Three of the seven Discaya-linked vehicles put on auction last Wednesday were sold, generating proceeds of P25.771 million.
The 2024 Lincoln Navigator went to Cantinetta Espresso Concepts for P6.950 million, the 2022 Cadillac Escalade ESV went to Igorot Stone Kingdom Inc. for P6.623 million and the Bentley Bentayga to TDY Consumer Goods Trading for P12.178 million.
According to the BOC, the sales in this auction generated P25.751 million, and including registration fees, the total proceeds reached P25.771 million.
Four remaining Discaya luxury vehicles failed to attract buyers: the 2022 GMC Yukon Denali, 2021 Cadillac Escalade, 2022 Maserati Levante Modena and 2022 GMC Yukon XL Denali.
Customs officials have now held a total of four public auctions for the Discayas’ luxury cars, with the first in November 2025.
The first auction raised P38 million, followed by P9.5 million in proceeds from the second auction and P29 million from the third.
Customs Commissioner Ariel Nepomuceno said the BOC has turned over the funds to the Bureau of Treasury, where they can be used to support and fund programs of the national government.
