BOC investigates Discaya family's luxury car imports

The Bureau of Customs (BOC) said it would investigate the imported luxury cars and other items owned by the Discaya family, who run multiple construction firms involved in multi-billion-peso flood control projects.

During an interview, Sarah and Curlee Discaya admitted to owning 40 high-end cars, which has raised a 'red flag' for the BOC.

BOC Spokesperson Vincent Philip Maronilla told ANC that the agency would inquire into the declaration and payment of duties and taxes for these vehicles, as well as compliance with customs rules.

The BOC will seek assistance from the Land Transportation Office to get details on the cars' certificates of payment and compare them with their own records.

Moreover, the investigation will also cover other imported items such as artworks shown during interviews with the Discaya couple and their companies’ importations.
