President Rodrigo Duterte on Wednesday led the destruction of more than a hundred smuggled cars and motorcycles worth more than P34 million, nearly four months after several luxury vehicles were destroyed in the government’s campaign against smuggling. But still not included in the bulldozed vehicles were the Ferrari, Lamborghini and McLaren cars confiscated earlier by the Bureau of Customs (BOC) at Manila International Container Port. Customs Commissioner Isidro Lapeña said those cars, which were among the 24 luxury vehicles seized by the bureau, were still under litigation. In the past, the BOC auctioned off seized cars to generate income for the government. ADVERTISEMENTIn February, the BOC destroyed 20 luxury cars worth P61 million.
