Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte was seen enjoying the destruction of more than 75 luxury sports cars and motorcycles that had been smuggled into the country and seized by customs.
'And the only way to show it is that you are productive and that you have the economy, to absorb the productivity of the population,' Duterte said, adding that the first step would be to 'establish law and order' across the Philippines.
The Philippines Bureau of Customs seized £2.11million worth of smuggled vehicles last year, government data showed.
Yesterday, Philippine police vowed to revamp and intensify a fight against crime and drugs, a week after Duterte promised no letup in a bloody crackdown that has alarmed the international community.
Police have rejected accusations by activists that suspects were being systematically executed, based on weak intelligence and with the assumed backing of Duterte.
Duterte in March cancelled the Philippines' ICC membership in protest.
