“All 28 vehicles have been sealed and placed under round-the-clock security. They are now under strict watch by customs agents and the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG),” the bureau said. 

Commissioner Ariel Nepomuceno stressed that the family’s compliance is a necessary step that will aid the ongoing investigation into the importation of Discaya-owned luxury vehicles, in connection with the Senate Blue Ribbon Committee’s inquiry into alleged anomalous flood control projects.

“This latest development will greatly assist us in verifying the importation records of these vehicles. We will assure the public that we will thoroughly check on compliance and documentation of these vehicles. If violations are found, we will ensure that appropriate penalties are imposed in accordance with the law,” Nepomuceno was quoted saying.
