MANILA – Parokya ni Edgar vocalist Chito Miranda came to the defense of his girlfriend, former “Star Circle Quest” finalist Neri Naig, after several netizens bashed her following the leak of their private video.
In his personal Facebook account on Wednesday night, Miranda shared facets about his girlfriend that the public are not aware of.
“This is my girlfriend, Neri. She's an actress. Though she is not as sikat as the others, she is happy and content. Not many people know this, but whenever she has time to spare, she'd go and visit her favorite aeta village along with her friends, and hang out with the aetas, simply because she enjoys it,” he wrote.
Miranda added: “She'd collect and bring used, worn-out school books and read to the kids, trying to help them learn to read as well. She'd bring school supplies na binili sa divisoria, sit down with the kids, and teach them how to write their names. She'd bring snacks, and sometimes would even set up games for the kids in the community.”
The Parokya ni Edgar frontman further noted that Naig was "never applauded" for this act of charity, "nor was she famous for it, and also had no major reasons for doing it.”
After sharing what his girlfriend does during her spare time, the Parokya ni Edgar frontman then asked Naig’s bashers one question.
“What do you do on your spare time aside from bashing helpless girls on the internet? Whatever it is, I honestly hope it makes you happy,” he said.
Miranda said he does not mind what other people say about him but he does care about what they say about his girlfriend.
“Me and my girlfriend are NOT saints obviously (me, being very far from it), but she is a good person and those who really know her, know that she is. And I love her very much,” he said.
While appealing to bashers to stop saying bad things about them, Miranda also thanked those who supported them throughout this ordeal.
“Sa lahat ng mga open-minded na tao na patuloy na nag pakita ng respeto at pagmamahal sa amin ni Neri, regardless of what we are going through, maraming maraming salamat po,” he said.
