Sex video scandal

On 3 August 2013, three video snippets of Miranda having sex with three women on different occasions were shown on YouTube. The video snippets with the other two women were taken down the same day, but the video with Naig became popular in different blogs and social media sites.^[5] On his Twitter account, Miranda said his room was recently robbed. Among those stolen was his hard disk drive, where photo and video files were stored.^[6][7] On Parokya ni Edgar's Facebook page and on Miranda's Instagram page,^[8] Miranda expressed his sadness on the leaking of the private video.

In February 2016, the Cebu Regional Trial Court Branch 5 issues a warrant of arrest against Naig and Danilyn Nunga, her road manager who faced charges of libel (in accordance with the Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012) due to posting of an Instagram photo of two complainants who maliciously portrayed as bogus sellers of a digital camera.^[12]
