Sex video doc splashed with water at hearing

He admits to taking drugs and filming his affairs with various women

June 01, 2009

THE Philippine Senate’s initial investigation into the controversial sex video between DrHayden Kho and Ms Katrina Halili unearthed secrets and exposed lies, including information on drugs, sex trysts and romance of the celebrity doctor with other women. WET: Former police officer and now tabloid columnist Abner Afuang pours water on the head of Dr Hayden Kho. –PICTURES: AFP, AP Dr Kho, a cosmetic surgeon, was forced to appear at the hearing after the senate committee headed by Senator Jamby Madrigal rejected his request for a closed-door executive session. He admitted to abnormal sexual activities including his fetish for filming his trysts with various women. A former model and rising star, Dr Kho said he was undergoing psychiatric counselling and attributed his sexual tendencies to a childhood experience where he was caught on video by a woman without his consent. The already charged atmosphere was further aggravated when retired policeman Abner Afuang poured a bottle of water over the head of Dr Kho minutes after the latter entered the jam-packed room. Senator Madrigal ordered the Senate’s Office of the Sergeant at Arms (OSAA) to arrest Mr Afuang, who is also a former mayor of Pagsanjan, Laguna and now a tabloid reporter. OSAA chief Jose Balajadia said Mr Afuang was wearing a National Press Club ID, reported Manila Bulletin. Mr Balajadia said he heard Mr Afuang saying: ‘Baboy ang tingin ko sa kanya, hindi tao’ (‘He looks like a swine, not a human’) when he was collared by security and escorted out of the room. It was not immediately known why he did it as he was still being interrogated by the Senate sergeant-at-arms. In Thursday’s hearing, Dr Kho divulged that it was Ms Halili who supplied him with illegal drugs while taping their sex act. An embattled and tearful Ms Halili refuted the allegations. He said that he met Ms Halili when he performed liposuction on her in 2007. They started exchanging text messages and later began an affair which lasted a year. Ecstasy Dr Kho said Ms Halili urged him to use Ecstasy. He also admitted to having used illegal drugs even when having sex with other women. But when pressed by the senators to name who supplied him with drugs, Dr Kho refused to cooperate, saying there are threats to his life and his family. However, Ms Halili denied she ever used illegal drugs and said she is prepared to undergo a drug test at the Philippine Drugs Enforcement Agency to prove it. She repeatedly told Senator Ramon Revilla Jr that she did not know that their sexual activity was being filmed. ‘I loved Hayden,’ said Ms Halili, wiping away tears. ‘I was young, so I was easily blinded. I am the victim here while our video is being viewed on a daily basis. I was abused on the video and I am still being abused in public.’ She said she wanted this sensitive issue to be investigated in order to stop Dr Kho and prevent others from being victimized by him and other unscrupulous persons. Dr Kho’s lawyer Lorna Kapunan had earlier threatened that her client will walk out if the senators conducted a public hearing of the case. This was even after Senator Madrigal had assured both camps that there would be no viewing of the videos because ‘it has already been viewed by the public’. But Senator Jinggoy Estrada ignored the threat and maintained that the hearing should be held openly for the benefit of the public who wants more information about the case. During the hearing, the distraught Ms Halili turned on Dr Kho and told him: ‘You have the gall to even look at me.’ At that point, Senator Madrigal, chair of the Senate committee on Youth, Women, and Family Relations, suspended the hearing. The scandal has been avidly followed by many Filipinos after copies of the video appeared on the Internet and on DVDs, which were sold discreetly in shops.

MANILA – STEAMY sex videos of a cosmetic surgeon and his celebrity patients indulging in more than the standard nip and tuck have gripped the devoutly Roman Catholic Philippines.

Home movies showing Dr Hayden Kho going beyond the usual doctor-patient boundaries with a rising film star and commercial model are spreading around the Internet, as hawkers on Manila’s street corners sell DVDs of their trysts.

Who did it? Dr Kho, 29, has issued a public apology and suspended his medical practice as calls increase for him to have his licence revoked – all the while insisting he was not the one who made the recordings public. Now suspicion has shifted to the cuckolded boyfriends or girlfriends – or their associates – of some of the personalities in the videos. … more

The videos and the manner in which they came into the public domain have fascinated and repulsed this deeply religious country.

One of the unwitting stars of the films is up-and-coming actress Katrina Halili, 23, who has now filed a criminal complaint. She is the only woman who has identified herself as one of four appearing separately with Dr Kho in the videos.

‘I fully gave my heart and soul to a man who was doing his own movie,’ she said. ‘In our culture, this will stigmatise me for life.’ She now has what many young actresses aspire to – instant name recognition – but for all the wrong reasons.

This week workers began pulling down from Manila’s main avenue a large billboard of Halili endorsing a popular local brand of lingerie. The young actress later confirmed she had lost an endorsement contract and that film and modelling offers had also dried up since the tapes went public.

Halili is now appealing for the public to stop watching the recordings, saying: ‘You also have daughters, sisters, girlfriends, wives.’ But so far, her appeal has fallen on deaf ears.

A middle-aged street vendor who would identify himself only by his first name, Jose, openly hawked a ‘Katrina-Hayden Scandal’ video disc outside Manila’s largest shopping mall, alongside his usual fare of pirated copies of Hollywood films.

‘It’s all over the Internet now, so sales are not that brisk as last week. But people still come here to buy them,’ Jose said.

A blue-collar worker who called himself ‘Joe’ said he bought a copy because he had no Internet access. ‘Every red-blooded Filipino male dreams of being in bed with Katrina Halili,’ he said. — AFP
