The Bureau of Customs (BOC) successfully raised over P12.3 million from the negotiated sale of the last four luxury vehicles connected to the high-profile Discaya family case.
The vehicles were part of the negotiated sale of abandoned and confiscated goods, including luxury cars, steel tubes, and truck parts, that took place on May 27, 2026 and covered 21 lots of items from different ports of the country.
Buyers bought the 2021 Cadillac Escalade for P3.75 million and a 2022 GMC Yukon Denali for P3.309 million. They also purchased a 2022 GMC XL Yukon Denali for P3.209 million and a 2022 Maserati Levante Modena for P2.008 million.
Together, these four cars accounted for P12.276 million of the total money earned. The bureau also sold a fifth car, a 2009 Volvo XC90, for P70,000 but it was seized during a regular port forfeiture.
With this latest sale, the bureau completely disposed of all 13 vehicles originally seized from the Discaya family. The BOC said it will send all the earnings to the Bureau of the Treasury.
The total amount collected from the entire Discaya asset case was over P114.7 million.
Customs Commissioner Ariel Nepomuceno explained that the clean disposal showed how serious the bureau is about its job. He stated that the agency wants to follow orders from President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. to use state assets properly and stop corruption.
”Today’s completion of the disposal of all remaining Discaya vehicles reflects the Bureau’s firm commitment to transparency, accountability, and decisive action in the management of forfeited assets. More importantly, it demonstrates our continued efforts to ensure that government resources are properly utilized in a manner that serves the best interests of the Filipino people,” Commissioner Nepomuceno said.
The bureau live-streamed the bidding process online so the public could watch the sales happen in real time. The negotiated sale remains subject to the approval of the Secretary of the Department of Finance pursuant to Customs Memorandum Order No. 26-2020.
