probably the VIN numbers are erased and the Philipine Govt does'nt want to go through the hassle for no reason (they won't get any money or so out of it in creating a ministry just to handle stolen goods returning system) plus your insurance company probably payed you off already by the time these vehicles are caught.

I guess they forgot to pay the import tax .....

Import tax in the Philippines is nearly 100% of the retail price of the product you are looking to import into the country.

Yes. Taxes are expensive but that doesn't stop corrupt politicians from importing cars (as you can see the X is a favorite choice) My heart bleed though just seeing it in the News
