Six luxury cars seized by the Bureau of Customs (BOC) went unsold during a recent auction due to a lack of bidders. The auction took place on Thursday at the Port of Manila.

Despite these efforts, the BOC confirmed via a video advisory that no bids were received.
The luxury vehicles included high-end models such as a 2023 Rolls-Royce Cullinan, which was priced at approximately ₱27 million, and a 2023 Bentley Continental, valued at around ₱21 million.
