Neri Naig Breaks silence after court dismisses charges
Weeks after the Pasay courts dismissed the syndicated estafa and Securities Regulation Code violation charges against her, Neri Naig has spoken out about her ordeal. In an Instagram post, Neri shared images of herself being escorted by Bureau of Jail Management and Penology personnel during her detention in November 2024. She also posted her lawyers' statement confirming the court's decision to drop the charges. 'Hindi ko talaga inakala na mapapasama ako sa Most Wanted sa Pilipinas,' she wrote on Instagram. Reflecting on the experience, Neri admitted she never imagined being labeled a fugitive. 'Tinawag akong magnanakaw, manloloko, at scammer. Never naman akong nagtago. Palagi nga akong nasa palengke, sa mga talks, at kahit saan pa—I have always been visible, hindi lang sa social media,' she said. Though she has chosen to stay silent until now, she described the experience as a nightmare she will never forget. Neri acknowledged the judgment she faced but emphasized that she refused to let anger or pain define her. She expressed gratitude to those who stood by her, calling them her 'Army of Angels' during the storm. In the comments, she also praised her husband, Chito Miranda, for his unwavering support, crediting his love for giving her hope through the darkest times. Neri's legal troubles stemmed from her past involvement with Dermacare Beyond Skin Care Solutions, a company flagged by the Securities and Exchange Commission for unauthorized investment solicitation. She had been an endorser and franchisee since 2020 but cut ties with the company in 2023.

Pasay courts dismiss charges against Neri Naig-Miranda
Pasay courts have dismissed all charges against actress and businesswoman Neri Naig-Miranda related to syndicated estafa and violations of the Securities Regulation Code, clearing her name in connection with the Dermacare investment scam. In a statement shared by her husband, Chito Miranda, FLO Attorneys-at-Law confirmed that the Pasay City Regional Trial Court (RTC) Branch 112 ruled in favor of Naig-Miranda, stating that there was no evidence proving she defrauded the complainants. The court noted that the complainants never directly transacted with Naig-Miranda or handed her any money, undermining the basis for the estafa charge. The decision followed a reinvestigation by Pasay City prosecutors, who found no probable cause to indict her. Additionally, RTC Branch 111 dismissed complaints accusing Naig-Miranda of violating the Securities Regulation Code, further reinforcing her legal vindication. Attorney Aureli Sinsuat, Naig-Miranda's legal counsel, welcomed the court's decision, emphasizing that she had been falsely accused in the case. He urged authorities to focus on holding the real perpetrators accountable. Meanwhile, Chito Miranda expressed gratitude to those who supported his wife throughout the legal ordeal. 'To those who chose to stand up and defend my wife, maraming salamat talaga,' he wrote.
