At least six vehicles of POGO operators will be auctioned off on May 7 by the Bureau of Customs (BOC).
BOC announced the upcoming bidding will feature seized Lexus ES (2019); Jeep Wrangler (2021); BMW X6 (2023); Mercedes-Benz S680 Maybach (2023); Bentley Continental (2022); and Rolls-Royce Cullinan (2021).
Interested bidders can attend the public viewing on May 4 and 5 at the BOC-Manila grounds.
BOC hopes to earn P69.8 million, based on the floor prices.
During the last public auction on April 28, it sold only the Rolls-Royce Phantom 2023 for PHP25.5 million, out of 12 luxury vehicles offered.
The BOC also announced a failed negotiated sale of 21 vehicles last week, including four luxury vehicles seized from contractor couple Pacifico and Sarah Discaya, after two interested bidders were disqualified due to technicalities.
Currently, there are four vehicles from Discayas that are up for sale to include two units of GMC Denali, a Maserati Levante and a Cadillac Escalade.
Another negotiated sale for all the vehicles may be held next month.
