Actress and successful entrepreneur Neri Naig-Miranda has found herself at the center of controversy as netizens criticize her for sharing what they consider an unrealistic weekly meal plan for families.
Many have taken issue with the meal plan, which she claims can be done for ₱1,000 per week, as they believe it is out of touch with the current prices of groceries.
Neri shared her meal plan on both Instagram and Facebook, providing a breakdown of meals for a week, along with a shopping list for the market.
In her caption, she stated, “Eto na ang Neri’s (sample) Weekly Meal Plan.
“Para sa mga nanay na mamamalengke bukas pagkatapos ihatid ang mga bata sa school, eto na, pakiprint na po eto, kumpleto pati palengke list.
“Nagtry akong magbudget ng P1,000 for a week. Kung may sukli pa yan, pwede pangdagdag merienda o baon ng mga bata.”
However, many netizens disagreed with Neri’s suggested budget, deeming it unrealistic given the current high prices of groceries. They argued that even basic ingredients would consume a significant portion of the budget.
Here are some of the comments from netizens:
Girl dinner in a sad environment by Neri Miranda. Sa totoo lang di ako magtataka kung iwan siya ni mister niya. Just look at the leftover dinner plan ni anteh mo. Its so sad https://t.co/8QW32DsiTo

Unless may tanim kang baboy at manok sa garden, di papalo ang 1k/week, Neri.
Seriously–from govt officials to celebs– why can’t rich people resist the dumb urge to budget for poor people? https://t.co/jjbhJUA1Mb

Okay naman si Neri Miranda. Kaya lang most of the time, too good to be true na sya. Imbes na mainspire ako bilang nanay, naiirita tuloy ako na para bang magkaiba kami ng universe na tinitirhan!
