In the comments section of Miranda’s post vouching for his wife’s innocence, celebrities including actor Joross Gamboa, actress Rita Avila, content creator Donnalyn Bartolome, and actor-coach Anthony Pangilinan, Miranda’s uncle, among others, extended their prayers to the couple. “Hang in there, bro.
Praying for Neri and the whole family...
and the Justice system—or lack thereof—in this country,” said Pangilinan. “Malalagpasan ninyo ang pagsubok na eto (You will overcome this test), in Jesus Name,” wrote Gamboa. “Praying with you, Kuya.
This is so heartbreaking,” pitched in Bartolome. “Alam naming mabuting tao si Neri (we know that Neri is a good person),” added Avila. Other celebrities, including Ogie Alcasid, Patrick Garcia, Sarah Lahbati, Nadine Samonte, Cristine Reyes, Loisa Andalio, Bianca Manalo, and Ara Mina, among others, expressed their support by simply leaving prayer emojis.

Soon after, Miranda broke his silence on social media to vouch for his wife’s innocence as he detailed what happened prior and during the arrest, saying Naig was just an endorser of a dermatological clinic and she was just used to persuade investors.

Atienza was recently named by the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Enforcement and Investor Protection Department in an advisory for “enticing the public to invest in the said entity under its ‘Franchise Partner Agreement.
