00:00We have hot news to start with for today's talk.
00:10Chito Miranda defended his wife, Nery Naig, after she was arrested last Saturday.
00:17Nery is currently in jail in Pasay City Jail for syndicated staffing and violation of the Securities Regulation Code.
00:26According to the Securities and Exchange Commission, Nery's case is related to a problem faced by Dermacare,
00:33a beauty product brand, to their investors.
00:36Nery refused to accept an investment from the public even though Dermacare has no registration or license from the SEC.
00:46Chito insisted that Nery was not fooled and that she has no chance with her partner.
00:53Nery also refused to accept a letter from the prosecutor, no punishment, or any notice before she was arrested.
01:03Chito's defense is that Nery is just an endorser.
01:07I've read that already.
01:11This is what I think.
01:17Yesterday, I had this very difficult experience reading the news.
01:22Because Nery is a very good person, a very hardworking person, and it was very difficult to process this whole incident.
01:34Why did this happen to Nery?
01:38According to Senator Kiko Pangilinan, he's willing to help.
01:43Let me talk as a manager.
01:45If you are an endorser of a product, we have a free and harmless clause.
01:54This means that we do not warrant the company to negotiate a product with the public.
02:01We are only in charge of what the product says to us as endorsers.
02:08Right now, I've been talking to my lawyers.
02:10One of my lawyers, Atty. Wendell de Maculangan, he was saying,
02:14they can file a petition for bail, even if it's non-bailable,
02:18so that he can say that his case is weak in evidence,
02:22or they can file a motion to quash the information.
02:28So there are remedies, and we continue to pray.
02:32I believe that Nery is a good person, a hardworking mother, and a good neighbor.
02:38She's my neighbor in Tagaytay.
02:40And this is my personal knowledge.
02:43She's a good kid, a good woman, and a good wife.
02:47That's all I wanted to say.
