Nerizza Garcia Naig-Miranda (born 7 September 1983),[a] better known as Neri Naig, is a Filipino 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 staged a career comeback with the help of her manager Boy Abunda. She has been featured in shows like SCQ Reload: OK Ako!Kilig Ako!, 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[4] and in a formal wedding in Tagaytay the following day.[5] In August 2015, Naig's pregnancy suffered from a miscarriage.[6] Their first child, a son, Miggy Alfonso was born in November 22, 2016.[7] Their second child, Manuel Alfonso aka Cash, was born in October 8, 2021.[8] As of December 2021, the couple are also in the process of officially adopting Pia who is Naig's niece.[9][10]

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.[11] 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.[12] On Parokya ni Edgar's Facebook page and on Miranda's Instagram page, Miranda apologized for the scandal.[13] A second clip was uploaded on a Facebook page.[14][15]

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.[16]

On November 23, 2024, Naig was arrested for 14 counts of fraud[17] and was detained in Pasay.[18] She was released following a court order on December 4,[19] while the charges against her were dismissed on February 12, 2025.[20]
