The Bureau of Customs (BOC) announced on Wednesday, May 27, 2026, that it has completed the sale of all vehicles seized from controversial contractors Sarah and Curlee Discaya.
In a statement, the BOC said the four remaining Discaya vehicles were recently sold for a total of P12,276,000:
- 2022 GMC XL Yukon Denali – P3.209 million
- 2021 Cadillac Escalade – P3.750 million
- 2022 Maserati Levante Modena – P2.008 million
- 2022 GMC Yukon Denali – P3.309 million
According to the BOC, this final sale completes the disposal of all 13 seized Discaya vehicles, which recorded a total value of P114,744,884.15. The proceeds from the sales have been directly remitted to the Bureau of the Treasury.
Customs Commissioner Ariel Nepomuceno said the disposal reflects the agency's efforts to enhance transparency and accountability in the management of seized assets.
“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,” Nepomuceno said.
Curlee Discaya has been detained in the Senate since September 2025 after being cited in contempt by the Senate Blue Ribbon Committee amid investigations into anomalous flood control projects. Sarah Discaya is also detained in Cebu on graft and malversation charges stemming from a anomalous P96.5-million concrete revetment project in Jose Abad Santos, Davao Occidental, which was awarded to St. Timothy Construction Corporation.
The Discaya couple owned two of the 15 construction firms that secured the most flood control projects from the government from 2022 to 2025. Over the past three years, the Discaya companies obtained approximately P31 billion in government infrastructure contracts, including flood control projects.
