The holy week has got celebrity mom and businesswoman Neri Naig into reflecting about the “darkest days” in her life, as she acknowledged that “healing takes time.”
Amid her arrest and detention like a common criminal last Nov. 23, 2024, Naig has kept her optimism about her.
The “Wais na Misis” has drawn strength from her family, especially her husband Chito Miranda who has consistently been supportive of the actress-businesswoman.
Amid the ridicule and the judgment from those who feasted on her lowest point, Naig took solace in that beauty eventually grows even in adversities — just like how a sunflower patiently undergoes stages before reaching its full bloom.
“These sunflowers didn’t grow overnight. They needed light, care, and time,” she said, showing herself harvesting such on a field. “Cutting these blooms reminds me: Even after the darkest days, something beautiful can still grow.”
“From pain, peace. From silence, strength. From the soil of sorrow, joy can rise again,” she continued.

Naig’s arrest stemmed from accusations of syndicated estafa and securities violation against her following her prior endorsement of skincare company Dermacare, which was involved in an alleged investment scam. The case would eventually be dismissed for lack of probable cause, and she was eventually released from detention on Dec. 4.
That experience, however, will forever be etched in her heart, throbbing like a fresh wound.
But just as the wise woman that she is would say, healing takes time.
“If you’re going through something right now—this is your reminder: healing takes time, but you will bloom too. One gentle day at a time,” she said in her inspirational reminder.
