‘I am actually quite happy that Manny Pacquiao won his fight against Shane Mosley. But when you tell the public you are going to wear yellow gloves as symbol to fight poverty, don’t let your wife wear seven million worth of yellow diamond earrings then.’
THANKS to Atty, Berteni Cataluña Causing, who is better known as “Toto Causing”, we know what was in the blog that Jeane Lim Napoles, younger daughter of Janet Lim-Napoles, took off the Internet.
Toto Causing graduated with a degree of BS Civil Engineering from Mindanao State University in Marawi City as a full scholar.
As a scholar at the Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila College of Law, he was an editor at the Journal Group. Toto and his all-female classmates registered a record with 90% passing rate making PLM the top law school for 2005 beating Ateneo de Manila, San Beda College and the University of the Philippines.
Here is what Toto reports was in the erased blog. (Complete with accompanying photos from the erased blog):
“She is fond of having Chanel clutch bag, costing about 4,000 pounds, or roughly 400,000 pesos.
“She loves wearing YSL tribute shoes and she has nine of them. If each pair costs about $1,000, she spent $9,000 or roughly 360,000 pesos.
“She wants to sport a Hublot watch, each costing about $11,000 each, or roughly one million pesos.
“She also likes to wear Baby Pink Herve Leger, a dress with a plunging neckline to show the upper base of her boobs. Each dress costs $1,500 or roughly about 75,000 pesos.
“In one setting, you may be shocked to see her wear all in the amount of 2 million pesos.
“This daughter of the (censored) should know she wears all the money out of the blood of poor Filipinos.
“Where is the conscience of this girl?
“While she sees tens of millions of Filipinos living in hunger, while she sees luckier souls get Conditional Cash Transfers, while she sees many street children begging from motorists, while she sees many informal shelters crying over demolished homes, while she sees millions of farmers scratching heads looking at their crops eaten up by floods, while she sees poor college students dropping out of schools and one UP stude killing self due to failure to pay tuition, she knows children of Payatas struggling day and night on garbage life, she has extraordinarily displayed extravagant lifestyles.
“She is fond of following world stars and celebrities. She posed with Justine Bieber. She followed Justin Timberlake. She posed with many other internationally-known personalities. She has thick face!
“How can she have the heart of using people’s blood for her own happiness? Like her mother, she must be (censored) to prison, too, and all her signature apparels confiscated.”

Jeane’s elder sister became a nominee for the party-list of the Seneres family – the OFW Family Club – after the election had already been won and the OFW Family Club proclaimed as having won.
The mother, Janet Lim-Napoles says that she is willing to open her bank accounts as part of the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) probe into the scam. (Actually, the two banks that Janet used exclusively – Metrobank and UCPB – may have to answer to the Anti-Money Laundering Agency (AMLA) for not following strictly AMLA regulations on knowing who their clients are and checking on the sources of their funds which are deposited in their accounts.)
Said the mother: “My family, especially my children, have already been dragged by the false and malicious reports of one newspaper who (sic) has the habit of sensationalizing stories at the expense of truth and fairness.”
Jeane Napoles lived in an apartment in the Ritz Carlton in Los Angeles during her college years, and drove a Porsche in Manila.
The mother explained that all of the jewelry that the younger daughter displays in her photos were gifts from her. As for the two Porches – one was for graduating at the top of her class and the other was for her 21st birthday.
Most recent photos before Jeane closed her social media accounts showed her week-long 23rd birthday celebration in high-scale bars and clubs in Manila, and a trip to London.

In her blog, that she closed down after the source of the family fortune hit the headlines, Jeane, the “baby” of the Napoles family, wrote:
“I am actually quite happy that Manny Pacquiao won his fight against Shane Mosley. But when you tell the public you are going to wear yellow gloves as symbol to fight poverty, don’t let your wife wear seven million worth of yellow diamond earrings then.”
The English expression “from the mouths of babes” comes from the French “la vérité sort de la bouche des enfants.” Perhaps, eventually. “le verite” (the truth) to what happened to the PDAFs may be found in the erased blog of the younger Napoles daughter.
