The arrest warrants released against Neri Naig-Miranda and Rufa Mae Quinto have earned different reactions from the people. The two (2) celebrities were faced with arrest warrants due to their involvement with Dermacare which was allegedly unregistered.
It was in late 2024 when Neri was arrested by the authorities at a convention hall in a shopping mall. Amid the detention of the actress-entrepreneur, reports that an arrest warrant against Rufa Mae is also set to be issued by the court.
The court has indeed issued an arrest warrant against Rufa Mae. The lawyer of the actress-entrepreneur stressed that her client denies the accusations and she is only a brand ambassador of Dermacare. Atty. Mary Louise Reyes said her client will face the charges and plans to post bail.
Recently, upon her arrival in the Philippines, Rufa Mae Quinto surrendered to the NBI (National Bureau of Investigation). Aboard a Philippine Airlines flight, the actress arrived at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) Terminal 1 from San Francisco, California in the United States.

Upon her arrival, Rufa Mae Quinto spoke on the accusations against her and denied meeting the owners of Dermacare. Based on a report on GMA News, she stressed that she is also a victim in the issue.
“Hi! Welcome to me in the Philippines. Yes, I surrender myself… Biktima rin po tayo kaya lahat haharapin,” Rufa Mae said.
Rufa Mae Quinto stressed that the authorities should run after the owners of Dermacare instead. Based on the report, she also claimed that she was paid with bouncing checks.
“Wala naman akong kinalaman sa kanila. Hindi ko naman sila na-meet or kakilala. In fact ako rin, hindi rin ako nabayaran, nag-bounce lahat ng tseke,” the actress said.
