MANILA — The Bureau of Customs (BOC) auctioned three luxury vehicles linked to controversial contractor couple Pacifico “Curlee” and Cezarah Rowena “Sarah” Discaya, generating PHP25.7 million in revenue.

The sold vehicles included a Lincoln Navigator 2024, a Cadillac Escalade ESV 2022, and a Bentley Bentayga 2022.

Igorot Stone Kingdom, represented by founder Pio Velasco, successfully bid PHP6.6 million for the Cadillac Escalade. Cantinetta Espresso Concepts purchased the Lincoln Navigator for PHP6.9 million, while TDY Consumer Goods Trading acquired the Bentley for PHP12.1 million. Igorot Stone Kingdom had also previously won the bid for a Rolls-Royce Cullinan in last month’s auction.

A total of 12 vehicles were included in the auction, but nine failed to attract any bidders. Unsold cars included a Ferrari SF90 Stradale 2024, Rolls-Royce Phantom 2023, Mercedes-Benz G650 V12 Biturbo 2022, BMW XM 2024, Lexus LX570 2018, GMC Yukon Denali 2022, Cadillac Escalade 2021, Maserati Levante Modena 2022, and GMC Yukon XL Denali 2022.

The BOC said proceeds from the auction will be remitted to the Bureau of the Treasury to help finance government projects.
