I think the Philippines are used to seeing seized luxury cars being crushed by bulldozers in fight against smuggling .



It happened 6 months ago, the same in February this year and now as part of his anti-corruption drive, Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte watched the destruction of over 60 luxury smuggled cars yesterday






https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Vww7kZ_r-c

The above clips shows 68 seized luxury cars,which includes Lamborghinis, Mustangs and Porsches and eight motorcycles worth £4.26million being crushed by Bulldozers.



The President who promised to fight corruption, crime, and drugs since he was elected in June 2016 told the crowd afterward that the destruction was meant to show the country as a place of investment and his toughened stance against illegal importers.

So why are the N2b worth of cars not auctioned off? His belief is that selling the illegal and smuggled cars would still bring benefits to those who smuggle them.

What do you think?

he should have sold them and pump the money into infrastructure or health care, maybe the president is just trying to have his own pound of flesh after all

I tell you...the Philippine president did it before and spared no excuse in doing it again

He really wants to change the country's orientation on smuggling so that they pay taxes/custom duty

So, why would the people bother smuggling when they know the end result...scrap metal

But then, is this move the best considering the economic benefit forfeited

This will greatly discourage smuggling and corruption. I hope we can copy this in Nigeria both the smugglers and corrupt custom officers will be in trouble
