The one-sided story of Napoleon Timonera
According to a video interview uploaded by Golgo thirteen in YouTube on January 25, 2014, A 72-year-old father identified as Napoleon Timonera was abandoned by his own 4 daughters and stopped supporting him financially.
He originally came from Visayas region, Iloilo province, Philippines but now living in Manila for the past 7 years.
He named his 4 daughters as Dr. Mic T. Ng (Pinamalayan Mindoro, Or.) Dr. Laarni T. Flores (USA), Sharna T. Legaspi R.N. (USA), and Sheila T. Cid R.N. (USA).
Napoleon also mentioned the name of his wife Pacita Timonera but he also admitted that he has another woman whom he is living with but refused to name her.
On this video, he's reaching out to public to help him find his daughters to let them know that he needs some financial assistance and he wants to go back to his hometown, as he was not able to make a living to support himself because he is too old.
And now, the sad but true side of the story revealed
Pinoy Radio Online updated the post the next day for a change of heart. The updated post revealed the truth behind the story of the begging father.
Alleged 'facts' were listed
- Napoleon did not support his daughters to finish studies as he left them when they were still in high school level. He also never had a permanent job.
- He was able to go to Saudi using faked documents to work as an Overseas Filipino Workers (OFW).
- While working overseas, he had many extra-marital affairs and neglected his responsibility to his family in the Philippines. His wife raised their children and supported their studies alone.
- When he went back to Phlippines, his family still accepted him despite they knew about his mistresses. But Napoleon continues to be a womanizer then.
- Even though he keeps on accompanying several different women and keeps on having illegitimate children, he still supported by his original children. In fact, there was this point that his daughters shouldered the medical bills to save the life of his illegitimate child.
- Timonera was also involved in different scam programs as well as illegal recruitment in the Philippines. He is collecting money to fund a bogus invention.
- Most of the times, his own children are the victims of these scams. He's making up stories about business ventures, selling shares of fake companies.
- Just this month, he went overboard by using his own wife, Pacita, to ask some money from their children. His wife got stroke because she really felt bad about it.
- After that incident, Napoleon disappeared and went back to Manila.
- No apology was given by him since then.
- Napoleon insists that he should be the one who receives support and money from his children, while his wife is in the hospital that got stroke because of him.
- He is living with a 25-year-old woman named Jonalyn Baylon and they have a 6-year-old child.
A letter from one of his daughters:
from Mic Ng:
Sad to know that there are really many people that would rather judge first before knowing the real story. They would rather hurt people rather than know the truth first. I pray that you yourselves are also blameless and have the right to judge.
I initially planned not to respond anymore and just keep quiet because this has been going on for almost 3 months already and we're quite tired. First of all, look at his poster, he says he is looking for his daughters, why then does he know our phone numbers? Answer: because HE KNOWS WHERE WE ARE and HE HAS BEEN IN CONTACT WITH US all these years. Why has he been in contact with us? Dahil HINDI NAMIN SYA PINABAYAAN. In spite of leaving us and having many mistresses already (the one he has today is his 4th), we have supported him financially, we have offered for him a place to stay. Why then is he doing this to us? Because he has another family to support and he is old already.
He has seen that in spite of the broken home he has given us, we have strove to rise above the problems and get a better life while the path that he has chosen has lead him to nowhere. Now he is asking a much larger amount, threatening us that if we did not give, papahiyain nya kami sa mga tao at sa media.
He has been doing this over and over. Pag nag bigay kami, then hinto ang pananakot. We know that if we give in again this will last for a short time only. Pag naubos ang pera, balik uli sa pangba-blackmail sa amin. So this is the interesting story of our lives that we have wished to keep to ourselves - because this should be a private matter.
I don't want to explain any no longer. I'm content that our friends and relatives know who we are and the real story and they have been supporting us through all these trying times. Those who are bashing us, take time to think. Not all that you are seeing is the truth. Know the truth first. Before you judge, look inside you and ask yourselves.
Kung anong panghuhusga ang ginawa nyo sa kapwa nyo, ganyan din ang ipapataw sa inyo. Have pity on my mother who is old already - and we're taking care of her. She is the hero in this story but the one being praised now is the man who left us and is crediting all our achievements to himself. By the way, ang asawa ko ang nagpatapos sa akin. So thank you everyone for giving us your thoughts.
Thank God that you have not gone through what we went through and what we are going through now. God bless you all.
