# Neri Naig

Nerizza Garcia Naig-Miranda (born 7 September 1983), better known as Neri Naig, is a Filipina actress. She was discovered after joining Star Circle Quest, a reality show of ABS-CBN in search of new actors and actresses. In the show, she landed as the 6th runner-up.

## Career

Naig joined Star Circle Quest but was not able to bag the title. After an absence of several years, she is now staging a career comeback with the help of her manager, Boy Abunda. She has been featured in shows like SCQ Reload: OK Ako!Kilig Ako!, Ang Panday, Sana Manulit Muli, Ysabella and a vampire in Imortal.

## Personal life

In 2014, Naig and Chito Miranda – vocalist of the band Parokya ni Edgar – married twice: in a civil ceremony on 13 December and in a formal wedding in Tagaytay the following day. In August 2015, Naig's pregnancy suffered from a miscarriage. Their first child, a son, Miggy Alfonso was born in November 22, 2016. Their second child, Manuel Alfonso aka Cash, was born in October 8, 2021. As of December 2021, the couple are also in the process of officially adopting Pia who is Naig's niece.

### Controversies

On August 3, 2013, three video clips of Miranda having sex with three women on different occasions were shown on YouTube. The video with Naig became viral online. On his Twitter account, Miranda said his room was recently robbed. Among those stolen was his hard disk drive, where photo and video files were stored. On Parokya ni Edgar's Facebook page and on Miranda's Instagram page, Miranda apologized for the scandal. A second clip was uploaded on a Facebook page.
In February 2016, the Cebu Regional Trial Court Branch 5 issued a warrant of arrest for cyberlibel against Naig and Danilyn Nunga, her road manager for posting an Instagram photo of two complainants portrayed as bogus sellers of a digital camera.
On November 23, 2024, Naig was arrested for 14 counts of fraud and was detained in Pasay. She was released following a court order on December 4, while the charges against her were dismissed on February 12, 2025.
