Four vehicles failed to attract bidders, including a Toyota Tundra (2022), Toyota Sequoia (2023), Rolls-Royce Cullinan (2023), and Bentley Bentayga (2022).
Before the auction, officials inspected all seven vehicles at Manila South Harbour.
Bureau of Customs Commissioner Ariel Nepomuceno led the inspection and emphasized accountability. “Mas importante dito sa pera o pondo na maari nating makukuha ay ang simbolismo at pagpapahalaga natin na pag ikaw ay gumawa ng mali, ikaw ay manangot at ang pera ng bansa dapat mapakinabangan ng ating mga kababayan,” he said.
Independent Commission for Infrastructure chair Andres Reyes Jr., DPWH Secretary Vince Dizon, and Finance Chief Frederick Go also attended. Reyes said, “We are here today to restore what rightfully belongs to the people. This is justice in practice.”
The auction highlights efforts to recover assets and ensure public funds benefit citizens while holding wrongdoers accountable.

Sarah Discaya is a Filipina businesswoman, philanthropist, and political figure who serves as the Chief Financial Officer of St. Gerrard Construction and Development Corporation. Known for her charitable work such as medical missions and welfare programs, she gained recognition for supporting healthcare, education, solo parents, and senior citizens. In 2025, she ran for mayor of Pasig City with a platform focused on making it a smart city through improved healthcare, digital connectivity, and modern systems, but she lost to incumbent Mayor Vico Sotto. Despite her defeat, she remains noted for her leadership, philanthropy, and advocacy for community empowerment.
In a previous report by KAMI, the Bureau of Customs (BOC) will investigate around 40 luxury cars linked to Sarah Discaya’s family. The move came after a viral interview where Discaya showed their collection of high-end cars. BOC will check the consignee of the vehicles to see if there were violations in their importation Discaya has also been connected to contractors of flood control projects now under Senate investigation.
Additionally, Korina Sanchez-Roxas recently posted on her Instagram account. There, she posed in front of a beautiful palace while she was in Disneyland. However, she also made fun of it in relation to the recent issue involving her. She wrote in the first part of her post, "My P10 Million Palace," which was somehow related to the allegations thrown against her by Mayor Vico Sotto.
