00:00If Zaldico's companies have registered air assets in ownership, all the more do those companies or Zaldico himself have a fleet of pricey luxury wheels, legitimately acquired or otherwise.
00:12An initial batch of 10 high-end coupes, sedans and SEVs is under forensic probe by law enforcement,
00:19which holds a warrant for the seizure of a couple dozen of these so-called Zaldico vehicles to determine whether proper taxes were paid on them.
00:28Our Ryan Lissiguez reports.
00:33The Philippine National Policer PNP is set to subject the vehicles they recovered from the garage of a condominium allegedly owned by companies connected to former Akubicol representative Zaldico to forensic examination.
00:47According to PNP Highway Patrol Group Director, Police Brigadier General Hansel Marantan, a total of 12 vehicles are now inside the ICI compound.
00:55Included in the examination are suspicious documents and manner by which the vehicles were brought into the country.
01:02So there's malice dito sa mga investigation na ito.
01:06Kung you are in good faith to that, bakit di mo i-surrender yung mga motor vehicle, subject of the investigation para matapos na?
01:16Ang problema, some of their mga advisors, they're concealing it.
01:19Kaya nahirapan yung mga investigators na there's a situation na naka-attach naman yan sa mga ghost projects and substandard subject of the biggest issue now in the country.
01:32Kaya pumunta tayo yan. It's the interest of the state.
01:34Among the luxury cars are a Rolls-Royce registered under Eco Leisure and Hospitality Holding, Inc.
01:41A Toyota Sequoia registered under La Veneza Hotel Spa, Inc.
01:45Three Cadillac Escalades registered under Misibis Resort, SunWest Construction, and Eco Leisure and Hospitality Holding.
01:54There are also two Lexus vehicles registered under SunWest and La Veneza Hotel, and a Mercedes registered under SunWest.
02:02These vehicles are estimated to be worth 145 million pesos.
02:07In addition, other expensive vehicles were also found, such as two Lexus vehicles and one Ferrari.
02:14Marantan also revealed that they are still searching for 10 more luxury vehicles.
02:19Binibigyan ko ng warning yung mga nagtago ng mga sasakyan na hinahanap namin.
02:24Kasi pag inabutan namin sa inyo yan, kayo ang mananagot.
02:29Hindi naman ninyo may tatago ng matagal yan.
02:32Ang laki-laki ng mga sasakyan na yan eh.
02:35So, mag-isip-isip na rin kayo dahil hindi naman kami inusente sa mga craft ninyo.
02:46Almost alam na namin yung mga modus na rin ninyo.
02:48At present, the PNP-HPG says it has been receiving surrender fillers from several personalities who have possession of the vehicles.
02:57Coordination between the PNP and the Bureau of Customs is also in progress for the ongoing investigation.
