Parokya ni Edgar frontman Chito Miranda comes to the defense of his wife, Neri Naig-Miranda, whose budget meal plan became viral on social media. Miranda claims that Naig did the math and the intention of the meal plan was to guide those struggling with budgeting.

Miranda expressed his frustration on Facebook, stating that it’s a “cruel, cruel world” after netizens criticized Naig’s sample budget meal plan. Naig shared a meal plan that includes proteins, vegetables, and grains for just P1,000 per week, which she claimed could sustain a family of two to four. However, the post received backlash and accusations of “richsplaining.”

Naig was forced to delete her post due to the outrage, but Miranda defends her, stating that the meal plan was meant to be a starting point and that she included details and proper costing. He also clarified that this meal plan was not the same one they used in their own household with 10 members. Naig had already made a meal plan for a P2,000 budget.

Miranda acknowledges that Naig made a mistake by not elaborating on the details of her P1,000 meal plan, assuming that her previous audience already understood her intention. He laments the negative response his wife received, emphasizing that her goal was to help others and not to be judged by those who didn’t understand her intentions.

Miranda concludes by highlighting Naig’s advocacy for backyard farming and self-sustainability, as well as her successful food-related business ventures. He defends her character and reminds critics that they should focus on their own lives rather than ridiculing others.
