Neri Naig-Miranda addressed negative online comments about her appearance, asserting her right to self-acceptance regardless of conventional beauty standards.

She revealed receiving remarks such as 'What happened to Neri? She looks haggard' and 'You look old,' which prompted her response.

Naig shared that she has been actively fighting trauma and depression, acknowledging these challenges have affected her appearance.

The former actress confessed to long-standing insecurities about her looks, recalling hurtful comments she received since childhood labeling her as 'ugly' and difficult to style.

Even during her acting career, she heard comments about her looking like a 'probinsyana' or someone whose clothes looked like they came from a thrift store, which she admitted were true.
