If you really want your bike back you had better find a very well connected Filipino to do it.. otherwise the game will start in Zamboanga.. a large local bike club here with the majority owners who were BMW owners took a ride to Singapore, the same way.. on the return 4 guys (expats) got hit for Import Duty even though the bikes had been bought new from the BMW dealer in Manila..A bike worth 1.4 million and duty payable of 300% so guess where the bikes are now???
