At least seven luxury vehicles seized from the Discaya family will be auctioned by the Bureau of Customs on 17 November 2025 at the Port of Manila, following their forfeiture due to alleged violations of customs laws.
Documents obtained from the Independent Commission for Infrastructure showed a notice signed by District Collector Alexander Gerard E. Alviar, stating the auction will be held through sealed bidding at 10 a.m. inside the Situation Room of the Office of the Commissioner in Port Area, Manila. Public viewing of the vehicles will take place from 10 to 12 November at the BOC grounds.
Formerly owned by contractor-couple Sarah and Pacifico “Curlee” Discaya II, the vehicles were among those confiscated from their compound at F. Manalo and J. Pueblo Streets in Barangay Bambang, Pasig City, under Seizure Proceeding No. 2025-059-A. The forfeiture followed a customs investigation into luxury cars that allegedly entered the country without proper import documents and payment of duties and taxes.
Among the high-end units for auction are: 2023 Rolls-Royce Cullinan (black) – floor price P45.31 million, 2022 Bentley Bentayga (blue) – P17.04 million, 2022 Mercedes-Benz AMG G63 SUV (matte black) – P14.10 million, 2023 Toyota Sequoia (orange) – P7.26 million, 2019 Mercedes-Benz G500 Brabus (white) – P7.84 million, 2021 Lincoln Navigator L (black) – P7.04 million, and 2022 Toyota Tundra (red) – P4.99 million.
They were part of the 28 luxury cars linked to the Discayas, who earlier surrendered 16 additional vehicles to Customs after the first batch of 12 was seized from their property in Pasig in early September.
Earlier, BOC Commissioner Ariel Nepomuceno said eight of the vehicles were found to have no import entries or certificates of tax payment, prompting forfeiture proceedings.
The Discayas, owners of St. Gerrard Construction and several other firms, are under investigation for alleged irregularities in multibillion-peso flood control projects.
The public auction, according to authorities, is part of efforts to recover government revenue and dispose of forfeited assets in accordance with Sections 1118 and 1139–1151 of the Customs Modernization and Tariff Act.
Authorities assured that the auction process will be conducted transparently and under close supervision by the Auction and Cargo Disposal Division.
