Luxury car owners were left feeling crushed - after their pride and joys were destroyed by a mechanical digger.
A collection of 21 vehicles worth a total of £900,000 including a Bentley Flying Spur, Porsche 911 , Mercedes SLK , Lotus Elise and rare McLaren 620R , were left lumps of twisted metal.
The McLaren had a list price of over £250,000 when new and just 225 were ever built.
The motors were seized as illegal imports by Philippines customs and publicly smashed as a warning.
The displays have become regular events.
President Rodrigo Duterte said it sent a “strong message” his government was “ serious in its efforts against smuggling”.
He ordered a similar crushing in 2018, an event that involved a tractor driving over a startling $8 million of cars in a monster truck-like exhibition of punishment.
This particular crushing is less destructive, but there is something particularly cruel about smashing the roof of each car individually for the sole purpose of destroying something.
He refused to auction the cars to raise cash for the impoverished country’s coffers.
