I am sorry. But Tim is complicit in the crime. He makes me sick. Flouting fashion while his father (and he) steal funds from a struggling country should not be a source or humor nor admiration. Tim was caught smuggling cash for his father at JFK. How fashionable is that?  

The previous commenter should check their facts straight before throwing around accusations. His brothers smuggled the money, not him. [www.usdoj.gov]  

Tim's so cool and hip. A fashionable ankle bracelet! How ingenious! I wish his dad will be acquitted of the charges. I don't get what the big deal is-- so his family stole from a country where majority live below poverty line, big deal. $6.2M (or 304M pesos) split several ways with mom and pop and everyone else isn't much really. Is he under any moral obligation to find out why his public servant of a father's income ballooned to such astronomic proportions? Hello, he's a fashion PR guy. Different industry. And don't even drag his $.75M pad into this. Whatever Tim was doing five years ago must have been enough to pay for it. I'm glad someone's not taking this seriously and has parlayed it to something the fashion world claps over. Classy! Way to go!  

I agree with carlos celdran. "timbo", you should undertstand that brothers, mothers, fathers...WHATEVER the case may be, this kid benefited from the crime KNOWINGLY. He is NOT innocent. Fangirl, are you 15 years old?? Classy? Shame on you honey. I hope years from now when you build integrity, character and substantial inner-depth (which may not happen as your ignorant writings prove) you become embarrassed of your child-like rantings about a serious subject about dishonesty and a nation of people.  

The fashion community are so wonderful, embracing one of their own. Isn't it so cute, so fashionable! He wears the CHANEL ankle bracelet for criminals! Apparently living in an apartment bought with money stolen from people outside the States, and throwing around money that was stolen from the Filipino people, is something to be overlooked. It doesn't matter to us, he's so cute and funnn! Who cares about dirty Marcos and Garcia money? It's not like it was stolen from Americans (like the Syrian Jewish scandal in Brooklyn and New Jersey). Gosh, I guess Tim Garcia is just a poor VICTIM.  

el, meet Sarchasm. Sarchasm, this is el.  

fan girl. It' spelled Sarcasm. Oh my god. What the hell is wrong with you? If you are going to try to write bitchy comments. Learn how to spell first. Tim Garcia should learn this thing called "Delicadeza" and keep his profile low till his family's name is cleared. Which I doubt will happen. Shame on Marc Jacobs for not reining him in either and putting him in the back room till this all blows over. Having a member of a family of thieves be your PR man is really not a good look.  

Oh wait. You were being sarcastic. Oh my god. Haha. So sorry about that fangirl.. But either way, um... it is still spelled sarcasm. No H. Cheers  

Carlos, nope, def meant the version with the H. ;-)  

fangirl, the pad Tim is living in, it belongs to his father and not him! Same with all the properties they have in the states! My God! How stupid can you be? And, if you're not close with the family, better not to react on things you don't know and don't understand.  

Calm down guys. I think the article itself is being sarcastic. And was written to make us feel angry and to diss off this Tim Garcia. Fangirl, nice try at being sarcastic but SSilver made a better attempt at it. Tim, enjoy your fancy clothes while you still can because I heard those orange jumpsuits don't match your complexion. How sad for you.  

This guy should be extradited back to the Philippines and let him rot in jail where he and the rest of his family belongs! Fangirl---I wonder how tiny your brain is! Stupid girl defending a thief because "$6.2M (or 304M pesos) split several ways with mom and pop and everyone else isn’t much really" WHAT A DUMB DUMB GIRL! Shame on you dumbo!  

Hey David Celdran could you stop acting smart? Read this definition of sarchasm [www.urbandictionary.com] Dumbass.  

Oh my God. The ignorance of some people appall me. This Tim Garcia is benefiting from millions of dollars stolen from the Philippine government that should have gone to soldiers fighting terrorists in Mindanao. People who symphatize with this shameless guy named Tim Garcia should be ashamed of themselves for siding with someone who benefited from stolen money. LOL. Some of you even had the gall to be "sad" for this moron. You should be sad for the poor and hungry people his family stole money from.  

This sack of excrement and his family were not sent to jail to pressure his criminal father. They were arrested because they were all in on the thieving scheme. Tim Garcia, good men have died just so you can enjoy the good life courtesy of the money your family stole from the Filipino people. May you and your entire family rot in hell. You damned piece of shit!!!  

fangirl is probably one of those lackey bitches who tug around gayboys in appreciation of trying to be some wannabe. get a life fangirl and if you're anything like timmy girl there, you should probably just pull a trigger i your mouth coz you've got no right to live gurhhllll....  

@ fangirl You're obviously a stupid person with no morals. I feel pity for your parents who did not raise someone with integrity and character. @Manay Turon Don't go calling anyone dumbass when your source is a dumbass website itself. Urban dictionary is not called urban dictionary for no reason. Try searching other words there.. Haven't you heard there's already this book called Webster? Tim Garcia's family stole from the Philippine military where men work hard to protect and serve for their country. Whoever may have stolen the money is not the case, whether its his dad, mom or siblings. He's actually living his ostentatious life on stolen money or aptly called "ill-gotten wealth".  

disgusting!..they still act as if they are innocent!..they stole money from the filipino people!..they had everything they want because of the "people's money" not their own money. such a shame...i hope they stop living the glamorous life they are used to because its so embarassing!..but i guess tim wouldnt do that...he will be ashamed with his peers..ofcourse! such a shame.even if he work's his ass off at marc jacobs,he would still be the kid who stole money from the filipino people.  

I guess the take away here is its very fashionable to steal a ton of money from thousands of hungry kids, get caught, and still wear a Chanel ankle pouch. Now, how big a deal is that? (If they don't get this, they never will). ;)  

I live in NYC, and I see this trying hard wannabee around town. Yes, he seems proud of who he is, and where his money comes from. A couple of years ago, I was shopping in this store I frequent. The sales associate asked me where I was from. So I told him that I was from the Manila. Then he told me that the store also has a regular customer named Tim Garcia from Manila .He was even bragging to the associate that his father is being charged for plunder back home. Beat this, he even showed him the news clippings! I guess "crass" is an understatement to describe this piece of shit. Oh yeah, he also tells his friends, that it is his daddy's money anyway.  

Hey Manuel Tenangco, I know why it is called Urban Dictionary dumbass. Those are coined words that became part of contemporary language you nincompoop. And I called Carlos Celdran by the name David Celdran (Battle of the Brains host) because I was being sarcastic (David having brains, Carlos having no brains)  

Bading na, Magnanakaw pa!!! how low can you be!!!  

Finally, the family is charged with money laundering today. From GMAnews.tv: "The Office of the Ombudsman has filed a money laundering case against former military comptroller Maj. Gen. Carlos F. Garcia (retired) and his family for allegedly amassing millions of unexplained wealth while he was still in active service. This was after graft investigators found out that the Garcias have a total deposit of P303.27 million and withdrawal of P73 million and $967,215.99 in at least 10 banks, which they said constituted ‘unlawful activity’ punishable under RA 9160 because the funds involved were proceeds of plunder. The prosecutors said each of the defendants helped in draining their family accounts."  

"...The case was filed with the Sandiganbayan more than five years after the first set of indictments was slapped on Garcia, his wife Clarita, and children Ian Carl, Juan Paulo and Timothy Mark (Tim)over the same issue..."  

manay turon and fan girl is no other than tim badingarcia....lol  

do you know how much of a criminal his family is in the Philippines? if so, let me give you some details, his dad stole millions from the government, money that was supposed to be used by the country's armed forces who are dying here just so this pretentious ugly beast can flaunt his lifestyle. if PETA hates people who wear fur, then support marc jacobs for harboring this idiot. then we might as well start a boycott for marc jacobs.  

His father is really sick! Stealing money from AFP... What a shame! Really sickening...Feeling buena familia pa si tim. As if! Peoples money pala ang winawaldas!  

One of the reasons why this guy has that ankle bracelet on him is because when his family was stopped by US Customs for smuggling in undeclared US currency (US$100,000.00), his mother threw a fit - going into a "do you know who i am" etc etc. Shortly after (not getting back the smuggled money) she wrote the Customs Agent an explanation/ADMISSION! that the funds were from gifts and allowances. Read it here [208.184.76.173] And the excuses of his brothers here [www.philstar.com]  

Ok. And name-calling is the best way to have a healthy discussion. Great.  

I pity Fangirl and Manay Turon. Too bad your pansy of an idol is soon going down. BOO HOO!! This Tim Garcia and his family should be guillotined in public. And shame on you Marc Jacobs for taking in this slime ball as head of your PR. Totally unfashionable and IMMORAL!  

To clear things up, the millions Tim Garcia's family stole from the Philippine Army was a huge chunk out of US aid given to fight terrorists. These same terrorists have very close ties to the al-Qaeda, and are said to have contributed to the 9/11 bombings. You all remember 9/11? And these same Islamic extremists in the Philippines are said to have a very close exchange student thing going on with the al-Qaeda. They send their men to the al-Qaeda for training. And the al-Qaeda send over their men for some real live experience in the southern Philippines decapitating civilians and soldiers alike. Money the US gave the Philippines to fight these extremists, is the same money Tim Garcia's been living off, along with his chunky fat mom (yes, we've seen her up close and you won't like it) just to buy his fashion designer doodads in a lame attempt to make their meaningless lives meaningful. and Tim Garcia, I hope every New Yorker reads this and make every effort to make your life unbearable, because you are a WASTE OF SPACE. Think again before you order takeout from Barney's or some ponzie place you love. Someone in the food industry who lost a loved one in 9/11 knows you. Remember 9/11 manay turon and fangirl, shut your trap, you make me wanna stab you with your discount store stilettos.  

People of Marc Jacobs, ever heard of fashion with a conscience?  

If Tim Garcia isn't disgusting to the core, then I don't know what is.  

BFF nga sila ni BryanBoy.. bagay na bagay.. they are crewks..a dum gewd crewks! hahahaahha  

How could his father, who earned 35000 pesos, around $800 monthly can afford to buy a place in Trump Towers? They do not come from a rich family either. Do the math. This is pretty basic. And he have the nerve to even flaunt it! Wow!  

@Fierce Brosnan: @Fierce Brosnan: true! pareho sila ni bryan boy na may kaso!  

He is one hell of a bitch...he's a gay, a dick sucker how can he sleep every night with those things that they stole from the poor soldiers of the Philippines..go to hell..if I see you in New York I'm gonna kick your face.  

Tim Garcia is no doubt super skanky! This fugly has no shame at all.  

Hahaha. Well, everything is relative. Some people might take the urban dictionary's definition as valid, some would say it's not. Either way, there's definitely an unfair sharing of wealth considering that the Garcia's enjoyed that much money. The fact that there's a BIG gap between the rich and the poor is unfair...I think. And I hope no one comments on this about how the rich people deserves their wealth. Because everyone deserves some 'ginhawa.' Never compare because we have different circumstances encountered in life.  

If this is in fact sarcasm, well it doesn't translate very well in the interwebs. If it's not then the writer should get her facts straight. It's the US government that put those ankle bracelets on him, The Philippines doesn't have the money to procure security bracelets because of people like his father that robbed the government coffers. Oh, and it's also the US government that locked them up. He really shouldn't fret to much about prison, after all, he'd by the most popular piece of @ss in there.  

I guess the people who says "what's the big deal?" are the people who have all the luxury in life. If you work hard, pay your taxes and see them go to some high ranking official's pocket, wouldn't you feel bad? I don't think INJUSTICE is FASHIONABLE.  

check check check tim bading garcia!  

Disgusting! And he even has the gall to complain about not being able to wear his effin Sergio Rossi boots while back home lots of soldiers can't even get hold of a decent pair of combat boots. Thief!!!!  

Oi, Fangirl, look this up on Urbandictionary.com" Tangina mo.  

I find nothing sarcastically witty with this article. Just shows a lot of ignorance and thoughtlessness. It is making the Garcia's into victims without bothering to check the facts. "...the government of the Philippines forced Tim and his entire family into a Federal Prison for 95 days to put pressure on his father." Wtf? Does she even know how incredible that claim is? His father, Gen. Garcia, had siphoned off millions from the Philippine military funds (which includes US aid to fight Islamic terrorists) and his whole family helped in laundering his loot to the US. Tim Garcia, could not even afford to live or study in the US if not for his father's dirty money. He may be in vogue, but he is also a shameless crook.
