We've lauded Neri Naig, actress, wife to Chito Miranda, and mom to 1-year-old Miggy, in the past for her knack of turning her hobbies into money-making home-based businesses. She sells bed linens through Very Neri, manages an ukayan, and fixed up a small cottage in Tagaytay that's now for rent to vacationers.
