Chito Miranda recently took to his Instagram page to share his son’s toy, seemingly opting to keep mum on the reported arrest of his wife Neri Naig over complaints for estafa and securities violation.
The Parokya ni Edgar band frontman showed a photo of a building-block toy inspired by Star Wars character Baby Yoda, through his Instagram page on Tuesday, Nov. 26.
“Ang pinaka-cute na Lego figure. Kay Migs ‘to pero parang gusto ko hingin eh,” he captioned his post, referring to their son. (The cutest Lego figure. This is Migs’ [toy] but I want to have it.)
Miranda’s post came after showbiz reporter Ogie Diaz claimed that Naig was arrested by the police in Pasay City last Nov. 23. Diaz further showed a blurred document of the alleged case, stating that Naig allegedly violated Section 28 of Republic Act No. 8799, also known as the Securities Regulation Code.
This provision deals with the illegal sale and distribution of securities without registration and approval of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
The National Capital Region Police Office – Southern Police District (NCRPO-SPD) then released a statement confirming the arrest of a 41-year-old actress and businesswoman whom they identified as “alias Neri.”
Police said “alias Neri” was arrested at the basement of a convention center in a Pasay City mall on Nov. 23 on the basis of a warrant for 14 counts of violation of Section 28 of Republic Act 8799, issued by the Regional Trial Court (RTC) Branch 111 of Pasay City.
As of this writing, Naig has yet to publicly address the matter.
