Is she's telling the truth? St. Martha knows...

I saw the interview of Hayden Kho's mother and she's invoking the help of the saints, especially St. Martha.

Though indirectly, Mrs. Irene Kho, during the interview, swears through the Holy Cross that she's holding, the Bible and by the 300-year old image of St. Martha, that his son, Hayden is innocent and that it was Ms. Katrina Halili and her manager, Ms. Lolita Solis who plotted against his son, by spreading the video in the internet and perhaps, in the sex video black market.

Today, Kho-Halili scandal DVDs are selling like hotcake in Quiapo, Recto, Divisoria, and even in our hometown in Malabon City.

Scripted

In a report published in ABS-CBNnews.com, Mrs. Kho said, and I quote:

“Ms. Katrina Halili, nabili na ‘yang arte mo,” Mrs. Kho said.

Adding,

“Alam mo ang ginagawa mo kay Katrina Halili is scripted. Sinabi mo rin yan, huwag ka ng tumanggi… Ang ginawa mo kay Katrina Halili ay ini-script mo--kung kailan iiyak, kung anong a-artehan…. hindi ko alam kung sinong kasabwat mo,” she said.

referring to Ms. Solis.

Mrs. Kho had sworn to the Cross of Christ that she's telling the truth about this "show."

Just asking


If all of these are scripted, why is that there is no opening and closing credit in the videos? It is not only that Ms. Halili's lovemaking with Dr. Kho is now proliferating but Ms. Maricar Reyes as well.

Besides, according to reports, there are about 40 videos, including Katrina's, Maricar's and the allegedly underage Brazilian model.

There are rumors too, that Ma. Teresa Licaros, a former beauty queen and sexy comedienne Rufa Mae Quinto, also into this mess that's why, they have already sought the aid of their respective lawyers.

Is Hayden not a pervert?

Here's another "bomb" against Dr. Hayden Kho. According to my "bubuwit," borrowing the term from DZRH's anchor and assistant station manager, Deogracias "Lakay Deo" Macalma, there is another explosive video showing Hayden having sex with a 15-year old girl in Cebu. After their lovemaking, Dr. Kho allegedly has focused the camera to the child's vagina while it is discharging vaginal fluid.

But let me clarify the above-mentioned allegations: They are about to be proven by the authorities.

Now the delicate question to answer is that, "Who's telling the truth now?" after Mrs. Kho's revelations. Or, the better question is: "Is Mrs. Kho and her son, Hayden, are on the side of the truth?" My answer, I don't know. I hope that St. Martha will intervene and show us the whole truth.

Amidst celebrity sex scandals: Youth solon urges responsible use of internet

MALABON CITY, May 22, 2009—Newly installed Kabataan party-list Rep. Raymond “Mong” Palatino asked the public, especially the youth, to be responsible in using the worldwide web or Internet for it can be both beneficial and dangerous.

The call came amidst the issue of the alleged sex video between GMA-7 talent Katrina Halili and physician, turned celebrity, Dr. Hayden Kho.

The said video was uploaded and distributed via YouTube, a non-commercial video sharing website.

The video, which this reporter also saw, shows the actual sexual intercourse of Kho and Halili.

Later, the video was removed by YouTube management for “violating the website’s policies.”

“YouTube is not for pornography or sexually explicit content. If this describes your video, even if it's a video of yourself, don't post it on YouTube,” says YouTube blog posted under Community Guidelines.

The issue heated-up when Sen. Ramon “Bong” Revilla Jr. asked for a full Senate inquiry about the scandal. He also wanted Kho out from the medical community by canceling his license as a physician.

“The Internet is a very strong medium of information dissemination among the youth, and we would all do good to use it for purposes that do not intend to maliciously malign possible victims of sexual exploitation,” said the 29-year old solon.

Don’t let government impose severe censorship

But he forewarns the government not to use the Kho-Halili case to impose an outright ban or censorship of certain websites.

He said, this recent scandal might give the government reason to impose severe censorship in the Internet.

“Let us not give the government reason to further restrict our rights and freedom of expression,” he said.

Lady Solon outraged by Kho-Halili sex video

Meanwhile, House of Representative Assistant Minority leader and Gabriela Women’s Party (GWP) Rep.Liza Maza today expressed support and encouraged the young actress Katrina Halili to file a case to proper bodies if indeed her constitutional right to privacy has been violated.

In a statement sent to CBCPNews, Maza said, Katrina and all other women who have been abused and whose rights to privacy have been violated have every right to file a case. We give Katrina our support and we vow to promote every measure to protect and defend women like her degraded and humiliated by this kind of malicious act.

“It’s time that we look into this matter and push for a legislation that will give women protection against publicizing, proliferating, and selling of private sex videos. It is the women who always lose in these kinds of [sexually explicit] materials. Katrina’s case is only one of the cases of sexual abuse committed against the Filipina,” Maza said in Filipino.

Alarmed over the proliferation of these sex videos, Maza stressed that our laws are not enough vis-à-vis the advancement of the mass media and information technology to protect the Filipino women who become victims of these materials.

She also said that GWP gears up for a roundtable discussion, together with militant women’s group, Gabriela (National Alliance of Women’s Organizations) and legal luminaries on Saturday, May 23 to listen and gather viewpoints about the matter.

Attitude change needed to stop sex scandal proliferation

“Only attitude change will stop sex scandals,” says Rev. Fr. Melvin Castro, executive secretary of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines ’ (CBCP) Episcopal Commission on Family and Life (ECFL), said in a news item posted at the CBCPNews website.

He admitted that the church and society has more work to do in changing people’s attitudes towards sex.

“We have always firmly believed that sex is sacred, it is only fully manifested within a covenanted and committed love which we refer to as marriage… And it is so sacred, it is consummated in the privacy and intimacy between husband and wife,” Castro stated.

Castro said, that the sudden turn of events, is totally “distressing”.

However, Castro said, the faithful, especially women, must learn from Halili’s experience.

“It is a lesson as well that for some of us, we have come to the point that we believe that everyone has a license to do anything what one wants without regard to another person’s feeling… That is what happens to any sexual relationship without reference to true love and no openness to procreation of new life,” he said.

On the other hand, the Association of Major Religious Superiors in the Philippines (AMRSP), said they are willing to give assistance to Halili if she asks for the church’s support.

“We will support her,” said AMRSP chairperson Sr. Mary John Mananzan, OSB.

The nun has also denounced the spread of the sex video in both cyberspace and local pirated DVD outlets.

"That was a private thing between them, why does he (Kho) let all the whole world know. Katrina should really pursue her case against Kho,” Mananzan said. (Noel Sales Barcelona)
