Jeane Napoles With PNoy Aquino

MANILA - Malacanang Palace said that the public should not maliciously interpret the picture of President Benigno Aquino III and Janet Lim Napoles' daughter, Jeane, to mean that the President is connected to the Napoleses.

Presidential Communications Secretary Ricky Carandang said Aquino does not know any of the Napoleses even as a picture of him and Jeane surfaced, apparently taken from the latter's Instagram account.

Carandang said the picture was taken late November last year at a private event in Shangri-La Mactan in Cebu following the canonization of St. Pedro Calungsod.

Another official who is close to the Palace has also been seen with Napoles. GMA7 last Monday showed several photos of the Senate President Franklin Drilon and his wife Mila with the Napoles couple at a party in Heritage Park in Taguig. The photos were sent to broadcast journalist Arnold Clavio by an anonymous source.

According to an earlier Rappler report, Napoles' mausoleum in Heritage Park, reportedly worth P30 million, is where she hosts gatherings for political and show business VIPs.

Here's another photo of the president with Janet Napoles husband:
