The Philippine President oversaw the crushing/destruction of luxury vehicles as a messege to smugglers and corrupt government officials.  
As a car lover, it really hurts me to see so many beautiful cars going to waste.  Why didn't RP sell them to overseas markets, then return the money to goverment coffers?

Anyway, it sort of reminds me of Lam Juk Tsui, who was Governor of Kwungtung and Kwungsi Province in the Ching Dynasty, he confiscated and burned opium shipments from foreign opium traders, namely, East India Trading Company.  What followed, of course, was the Opium War!
