Willie Revillame Among Registered Bidders in Discaya Car Sale
WILLIE REVILLAME – Television host Willie Revillame made headlines after his name appeared on the list of registered bidders in the auction of luxury cars formerly owned by the Discaya couple.
Television host Willie Revillame was among the registered bidders in the auction of luxury vehicles previously owned by controversial contractors Sarah and Curlee Discaya.
During the Bureau of Customs auction held on Wednesday, February 11, eight out of the ten vehicles placed on the auction block were reportedly owned by the Discaya couple. Although Willie was not personally present at the event, his representative, Christian James Ronquillo Lina, attended on his behalf.
The eight vehicles up for bidding included a 2024 Lincoln Navigator, a 2022 GMC Yukon Denali, a 2021 Cadillac Escalade, a 2022 Maserati Levante Modena, a 2022 GMC Yukon XL Denali, a 2022 Cadillac Escalade ESV, a 2023 Rolls-Royce Cullinan, and a 2022 Bentley Bentayga. The remaining two vehicles listed in the auction were both Buggari Chiron units.
Apart from Willie, other notable names appeared on the list of registered bidders. Among them were Pio Velasco of Igorot Stone Kingdom Inc. and representatives from R33 Car Exchange Corp., both known in business circles.
The auction drew public attention not only because of the high-end vehicles involved but also due to the personalities connected to the bidding process. Luxury brands such as Rolls-Royce, Bentley, Maserati, Cadillac, Lincoln, and GMC are rarely seen together in a single government auction, making the event particularly remarkable.
According to authorities, the proceeds from the auction will be allocated to various government programs. The sale of forfeited or seized assets through public bidding is part of the Bureau of Customs’ efforts to generate additional funds for state initiatives.
However, despite the number of vehicles presented, only one unit was successfully sold during the auction. The 2023 Rolls-Royce Cullinan was the sole vehicle that received a winning bid. It was acquired by Igorot Stone Kingdom Inc. for P29,026,000.00.
The remaining vehicles did not secure winning bids during the event. Nonetheless, the auction highlighted the continued public and business interest in high-value luxury assets offered through government channels.
