Filipina taking bath in money

A young Philippine woman who drew outrage after posting pictures online of her lavish lifestyle including one showing her bathing in money is to be charged with tax evasion,

Prior to the scandal, 23-year-old Jeane Napoles regularly took to Tumblr, Instagram and YouTube to document her high-flying lifestyle.

But after Filipino newspapers in June broke the news about her mother's alleged links to corruption, her posts drew anger in the impoverished country where many believe a few families are enriching themselves unfairly.

A student studying fashion design, the young woman had not filed any income tax returns, itself evidence of tax evasion, "We have always said there is nothing wrong with being rich as long you pay the right taxes,"

Henares denied any political motive in prosecuting the daughter and said she was merely enforcing tax laws.

"Whether it is her fault or her mother's fault, someone will go to jail," said Henares.

In other news, according to the family's staffs, they used to cash cheques in different banks and just dump the bag of money in Mrs. Napoles king size bed because the safety vault could not accommodate anymore, and other cash will be dumped in the bath tub.

Yeah, this topic is drawing anger to each and every filipino.

No words can express the anger we feel towards the government. You can't trust anyone.

It is the government who's putting the nation in poverty.

nope. she is the daughter of janet napoles. someone who makes money off politicians' pork barrel funds by setting up fake ngo's so these politicians can get access to the funds for personal use and she gets a huge share of the bounty. apart from that, she reportedly uses these bogus ngo's to steal money off funds intended for flood victims.

the mother reportedly used to bathe in milk. makes this family all the more disgusting

old news. this is just the tip of a huge and ugly iceberg. won't go into details as it will only make my blood boil. but i'm glad there are tax evasion charges against this brat now. doesn't look like this is her in the pic though. in the other pics available online she looks like a transgender. no offense to those who are.

whatever happens, money can't buy class and excess is vulgar.
