More Discaya luxury cars to be auctioned on June 29

The Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) will be auctioning four more luxury vehicles owned by the Discaya family on June 29, 2029.

According to a Super Radyo DZBB report by Carlo Mateo, the auction will be held from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. at the BIR National Office in Quezon City.

Among the vehicles to be auctioned are the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2017, Mercedes-Benz GLS 350T AMG 2020, Range Rover LWT 2019 and Land Rover Defender 130S 2023.

The vehicles were purchased from St. Gerrard Construction General Contractor and Development Corporation.

The vehicles, priced to be a total of P26.14 million, will be sold on an "As Is, Where Is" basis.

BIR Commissioner Charlito Martin-Mendoza said the auction aims to speed up the collection of taxes and to avoid the continuous decrease in the value of the vehicles while they are under the custody of the government.

Those interested can visit the BIR’s official website or contact the Revenue Region 7B - East NCR.

In March, the BOC turned over more than P102 million in proceeds from public auctions of seized vehicles linked to Discayas to the Bureau of Treasury.

The money was generated from the sale of nine of 13 confiscated vehicles.

The 13 luxury vehicles were seized for violation of the Customs Modernization and Tariff Act (CMTA). These include:

  • 2022 Toyota Tundra
  • 2023 Toyota Sequoia
  • 2023 Rolls-Royce Cullinan
  • 2022 Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG
  • 2019 Mercedes-Benz G500 Brabus
  • 2021 Lincoln Navigator L
  • 2022 Bentley Bentayga
  • 2024 Lincoln Navigator
  • 2022 GMC Yukon Denali
  • 2021 Cadillac Escalade
  • 2022 Maserati Levante Modena
  • 2022 GMC Yukon XL Denali
  • 2022 Cadillac Escalade ESV

The Malolos Bulacan Regional Trial Court (RTC) on Friday issued a warrant of arrest against Pacifico "Curlee" Discaya, his wife Cezarah "Sarah" and nine others for malversation through falsification of public documents in connection with their alleged involvement in the kickback scheme from flood control projects. —VAL, GMA News
