Miranda Jr.''' (born February 7, 1976) is a [[Filipinos|Filipino]] singer-songwriter and occasional actor best known as one of the founding members and lead singer for the band [[Parokya ni Edgar]].<ref>{{cite web|url={{Allmusic|class=artist|id=p410630/biography|pure_url=yes}}|title=Biography: Parokya Ni Edgar|last=Sutton|first=Michael|publisher=[[All Media Guide|AMG]]|accessdate=19 May 2010}}</ref> ==Early life and career== {{main|Parokya ni Edgar}} [[File:Chitmirandasolo.jpg|thumb|left|Chito Miranda in late 2014]] Miranda attended grade school and high school at the [[Ateneo de Manila University]] where he met [[Gab Chee Kee]], [[Vinci Montaner]], Jeric Estaco, and Mikko Yap. They formed a garage band during their high school years. The group was known in school to be class clowns. Normally in shows, they would show up in women’s clothing to entertain victims of earthquakes and typhoons and sing off-key in poetry readings. They eventually landed the role of front act band for the locally well-known Filipino alternative rock band [[The Eraserheads]]. Later on, [[Buwi Meneses]] and schoolmate [[Dindin Moreno]] joined as bassist and drummer, respectively. When they graduated high school, Estaco and Yap decided to leave the group to pursue other interests. Shortly thereafter, [[Darius Semaña]] (lead guitar) joined to complete the sextet. Originally, Parokya ni Edgar was called 'Comic Relief'. However, they decided to change the name in homage to a ''[[Noli me tangere (novel)|Noli me tangere]]'' joke in their student days. Later on, Parokya ni Edgar performed regularly in [[Club Dredd]], one of the famous clubs in [[Manila]] during that time. The band slowly gained popularity during the height of the [[Pinoy rock|Filipino rock]] explosion, with the local rock community opening up to the influence of foreign [[grunge]] acts such as [[Nirvana (band)|Nirvana]], [[Pearl Jam]] and [[Soundgarden]]. Eventually, the late managing director of [[Universal Records (Philippines)|Universal Records]], Bella Dy Tan and Alexis Tan signed them as contract artists after witnessing one of their performances at Club Dredd. The band garnered a triple platinum award for their first album ''[[Khangkhungkherrnitz]]''. ==Personal life== === Relationships === Miranda is good friends with fellow Filipino artists [[Kamikazee]] vocalist Jay Contreras, and rappers [[Gloc-9]] and the late [[Francis Magalona]]. Miranda is a member of the Alpha Kappa Rho fraternity in [[Ateneo de Manila University]] batch 1994. Miranda is also notable amongst the public as a [[recreational fishing|fishing]] enthusiast. Known to be a [[smoking|heavy smoker]] since high school, Miranda quit smoking after undergoing an executive health check-up in late 2013.<ref>http://www.pinoystop.com/bio/celebrity-profile/1959/chito-miranda-biography</ref><ref>http://www.pinoyfraternity.com/index.php?showtopic=256</ref> In 2014, Miranda married actress [[Neri Naig]] twice: in a [[civil wedding|civil ceremony]] on 13 December<ref name="civil">{{cite news|url=http://www.rappler.com/entertainment/news/77959-chito-miranda-marries-neri-naig-civil-rites |title=Chito Miranda and Neri Naig get married |work=[[Rappler]] |date=December 13, 2014 |accessdate=October 6, 2016}}</ref> and in a formal wedding in [[Tagaytay]] the following day.<ref name="civil"/><ref>{{cite news|url=http://entertainment.inquirer.net/158521/chito-miranda-marries-neri-naig-in-garden-wedding |title=Chito Miranda marries Neri Naig in garden wedding |work=Inquirer.net |date=December 15, 2014 |accessdate=October 6, 2016}}</ref> In August 2015, Miranda confirmed that Naig had suffered from a [[miscarriage]], which would have been their first child.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.pep.ph/news/56364/chito-miranda-reveals-wife-neri-naig-suffered-a-miscarriage |title=Chito Miranda reveals wife Neri Naig suffered a miscarriage |author=Siazon, Rachelle |work=[[Philippine Entertainment Portal]] |date=August 26, 2015 |accessdate=October 6, 2016}}</ref> On 19 June 2016{{spaced ndash}} [[Father's Day]] in the Philippines{{spaced ndash}} Miranda announced that he and Naig were expecting a child again.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://news.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/06/19/16/chito-announces-neris-pregnancy-on-fathers-day |title=Chito announces Neri's pregnancy on Father's Day |work=[[ABS-CBN Corporation]] |date=June 19, 2016 |accessdate=October 6, 2016}}</ref> === Leaked sex video scandal === On 3 August 2013, video snippets of Miranda having sexual intercourse with Naig and two other women in three different occasions appeared in [[YouTube]].<ref>{{cite web | url = http://entertainment.inquirer.net/106301/internet-abuzz-over-sex-tape-of-chito-miranda-neri-naig | title = Chito Miranda, girlfriend in deep sex scandal | publisher = INQUIRER.net | work = Latest Entertainment News | accessdate = 2013-08-04 | date = 2013-08-03}}</ref> The video snippets with the other two women were taken down on the same day, but the one with Naig became [[viral video|viral]] and was shared in different [[blogs]] and social media sites.
