Napoleon Timonera,
73, was found wandering the streets and asking for a help from his four
daughters who are currently working in the United States. Timorena was
abandoned by his family because of his shortcomings.

spread online and drew sympathy from
netizens. One of his daughters turned
the tables on him after she publicized what they had allegedly
gone through because of him.
gone through because of him.
A Pinoy Online Radio,
posted on its Facebook page the response of Dr. Mic Ng, one of Timonera’s
daughters
The post contained “Read
the story behind this picture,” “ I am
already old. Give me food, especially since I worked hard in Saudi to support
your studies).” He then listed the names of his four daughters and their
pictures. Two of whom were doctors and
the other two nurses.
According to his
daughter, Timonera had been in interact with them even after he left them to
live with his mistresses. Ng said the old man is now living with his fourth
mistress.
“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,” Ng
said.
She said they have
always supported him financially and even offered 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,” she said.
The doctor made it
clear that it was her husband who
actually paid for her studies and not his father. She further said that even if
they send money to their father, he will spend it and go back on blackmailing
them again and again.
She also that the she
is contented their friends and relatives know who they are and the real story between them and
their father. Those who are criticizing them should take time to think because
not all of them are seeing what is the truth.
The post has since
been “liked” by more than 50,000 Facebook users and shared over 40,000 times
and it has made the rounds of blogs and websites as well.
While
many people directly shifted to the side of the daughters after reading
articles about their story, others still questioned their lack of understanding
for the old man. However, a number also said that Timonera should ask for
forgiveness from his family.
