"Praying na ma-sort out na ang lahat ng ito ... kawawa naman 'yung asawa ko ... Never nanloko si Neri, at never s'ya nanlamang sa kapwa," Miranda said in a lengthy Facebook post.

"Never siyang kumuha or nanghingi ng pera kahit kanino man. Alam ng lahat 'yan. Tulong lang s'ya (nang) tulong hangga't kaya n'ya," he added.

The Southern Police District (SPD) earlier said it arrested a 41-year-old actress and businesswoman, alias "Erin," at a convention center in a mall in Pasay City on Saturday. She was later identified by ABS-CBN News sources as the actress Neri Miranda.

She was listed as the 7th most wanted person at the station level due to 14 counts of violating the Securities Regulation Code with recommended bail of P126,000 for each count, the SPD said.

Miranda admitted that there were times that Naig's kindness is being abused by others.

"Minsan kahit 'di na nakakabuti sa kanya. Kadalasan nga, naaabuso na s'ya pero hinahayaan n'ya na lang, basta wala s'yang ginawang masama," the musician said.

"Pinapa sa Diyos n'ya na lang. Tulad ngayon, endorser lang s'ya tapos ginamit 'yung face n'ya to get investors. Kinasuhan s'ya ng mga nabiktima," he added.

He also recalled that Naig this is not the first time that she was arrested but she still complied.

"Tapos last week, bigla na lang s'yang inaresto for the same case kahit hindi pa s'ya binigyan ng notice na may bagong criminal complaint pala laban sa kanya, and di n'ya na-defend 'yung sarili n'ya," Miranda said.

"Wala s'yang na-receive na letter from the prosecutor, walang subpoena, walang kahit anong notice. 'Yung mga dati, na-receive namin n'ya, at nag-comply s'ya, (alam naman ng lahat na madali kami mahanap sa Alfonso)," he added.

"Anyway, dinampot na lang s'ya bigla. (Na-dismiss na 'yung mga similar na kaso sa ibang lugar, and we're praying na sana ma-dismiss na din ito.) Wala siyang kinuhang pera sa ibang tao, lahat ng pera nila na kay Chanda, ang may-ari ng Dermacare."

Ending his post with photos of Naig helping, Miranda said: "Sobrang bait po ni Neri ... as in sooobra. Eto 'yung babaeng kinulong ninyo without bail, habang nakalaya pa yung mga tunay na may kasalanan."

Naig was transferred to Pasay City Jail Female Dormitory at around 12:02 p.m., facility warden J/Supt. Jundelina Jagunap said.
