Katrina-Hayden Sex Scandal: drugs, discovery, distribution
It seems that the Hayden Kho and Katrina Halili sex video issue is the most controversial issue that has happened this year. The issue has started when careless whisper video has surface on the internet where Katrina and Hayden were dancing in their underwear. And later on, the actual sex video was exposed over the web.
Sen. Bong Revilla revealed that Hayden has 40 sex videos collection with different women - including Katrina Halili, commercial model-actress Maricar Reyes, Brazilian Model and his former girlfriend, Dr. Vicki Belo, where 3 of those have spread on various file-sharing sites.
Lately, local file-sharing sites were the said sex videos were uploaded have been removed for the fear of getting trace by the NBI.
Influenced by Drugs
On the senate hiring happened last Thursday, Hayden Kho accused Katrina of influencing him to use drugs. He was also under influenced of drugs while making the videos with Katrina.
The Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) ordered Katrina, Hayden and Hayden's mother, Irene Kho to undergo drug test. Katrina, however, postponed to undergo drug test as she had to leave to file a case against Irene Kho but promised to undergo next week. But on Hayden and his mother snub the invitation of PDEA.
How sex-videos were discovered?
On the affidavit submitted by Dr. Vicki Belo, she admitted that she had also a sex video with Hayden. She was also the one who asked Eric Chua and Bistek Rosario to delete their sex videos on Hayden's computers and hard drive, which were under the property of Belo Medical Group, after she found out that Hayden has an affair with Katrina.
Dr. Belo said, “The computers did not contain the video I was looking for. Unfortunately Eric, Bistek and I could not access the hard drive because it was protected by a password. Eric, being in the computer business, volunteered to find a computer expert who could gain access into Hayden’s hard drive to enable us to obtain the video file"
After, Eric retrieved the video (Dr. Belo was not there when it happened), he gave a DVD copy of the said sex videos of Dr. Hayden with different women. Dr. Belo thought that that it was the copy of their sex video, but when she played the video she was shocked and appalled to find out that it contains sex videos with other women.
Because of her anger, she destroyed the copy of the videos and threw it away.
“The DVD and the hard drive were the only items which contained the videos that came into my possession. And I have never distributed or authorized anyone to distribute or make copies of the aforesaid videos or DVDs,” Belo said on her submitted affidavit.
The distribution of the sex-videos
Dr. Hayden has been claiming that Eric Chua and Bistek Rosario could be the people behind the distribution of the sex videos.
NBI is still investigating who are the people behind the spreading of sex videos.

Hayden Camera: The Hayden Kho video scandal
It has been a while since the news about the Hayden Kho video scandal came out. The scandal started on YouTube with Hayden Kho and Katrina Halili dancing to the tune of “Careless Whisper” video leaked out.
The Hayden Kho – Katrina Halili video scandal was all over the news and also in the Philippine blogosphere. But the Hayden and Katrina scandal was just the tip of the iceberg; 2 more video scandals came out. One is with a commercial model and one is with a Brazilian model. It see
Hayden Kho and Vicky Belo Scandal
I have predicted that there’s a video scandal of Dr. Hayden Kho and Dra. Vicky Belo somewhere and to no surprise there is a video scandal!
Atty. Adel Tamano, Vicky Belo’s lawyer confirmed on a T.V. interview that there’s an existing video scandal between Hayden and Vicky but he insisted that his client has nothing to do with the spread of Hayden Kho’s video scandals.
He also said that the video was made with Vicky Belo’s consent and should be deleted after the 2 have watched it.
So where’s the Hayden Kho and Vicky Belo video Scandal?
I don’t know, maybe it’ll come out soon or the doctors have deleted it already.
Oh! About the Hayden Kho and Ruffa Mae Quinto video scandal, It’s not confirmed yet.
Lolit Solis Talks About the Hayden Kho-Katrina Halili Sex Tape Scandal
Hayden Kho’s former manager and good friend of Vicki Belo, Lolit Solis talks to Joey de Leon about anything and everything that she knows of the controversial Hayden Kho Scandal.
Hayden Kho’s Mother Speaks Up
After weeks and weeks of the aftermath of the Hayden Kho-Ktrina Halili sex video, Hayden Kho Jr.’s mother, Mrs. Irene Kho breaks her silence about the issue in an interview on SNN.
See the interview here: http://phstars.com/index.php/2009/05/haydens-mom-blames-lolit-solis-katrina-halili-for-sex-scandal/
Hayden Kho speaks out. Vicki Belo still mum about the incident. Lolit Solis confirms the existence of the sex video?
Dr. Hayden Kho has finally spoken to the press. He seems to be in perfect health even after admitting that he indeed tried to take his own life.
He said that he even wrote Dr. Vicki Belo’s name on his body, and that the last words that he said before he ‘died’ (I suppose what he meant was before he lost consciousness.) was ‘I love you, Vicki.’
The most shocking part is that he admitted that he had an affair with Katrina Halili, however, he denied the existence of a sex video.
Did he attempted to commit suicide to earn Dr. Vicki Belo’s sympathy?
Hayden stressed that it is not his intention. Would a dying person still think of ‘pambobola’?
So if he has admitted to his ’short – lived’ affair with Katrina Halili, what will people think about Katrina since she is quick to deny that he was the cause of the break – up and that she had an affair with Hayden Kho.
I think, everybody has a lesson to learn here. When lying and denying some thing make sure that the accomplice is not going to squeal.
Anyway, according to Hayden he is not sure whether he’ll pursue his acting career, but he is definitely going back to his career as a doctor. Right now, he just want to work on the forgiveness of Vicki Belo.
Meanwhile, Lolit Solis clarified that she is no longer Hayden’s manager. She in effect clarified that her loyalty lies with Vicki Belo. But she seems to confirm the existence of the video when she said, “Kaya yung mga nag-de-deny, matakot sila dahil may pwedeng ilabas na ebidensiya. Dapat kung gumawa ka ng krimen, wag kang mag-iiwan ng ebidensiya.”
I guess this is not the end of this issue, right? I wonder when is Vicki Belo going to come out and air her side.
What will happen to Katrina Halili?
Is this really the end of Hayden’s career?
But the biggest question is when is Hayden and Vicki going to announce that they are a couple again? The showbiz talk is that it is only a matter of time before they get back together.
I hope I’m wrong. But who am I to judge.

Katrina Halili Scandal
The Katrina Halili Scandal has been the talk in the internet since 2007 but there is no video or any scandalous materials available yet. And based on my observation, it became the most searched Pinay Scandal material in 2008. Then after the leak of the Dr. Hayden Kho Video Scandals, it became the talk of everyone from the community, news, blogs and even in emails. With the addition of the Maricar Reyes - Hayden Kho Sex Video Scandal, Dr. Hayden Kho, I think, is now the most popular Pinoy Scandal star.
Perverts are feasting on the scandalous materials. Sellers of these scandalous videos are earning much money from the DVD version of it. Bloggers are earning online income from perverts who are looking for these materials online. And I wish, I can earn money too even without promoting the materials but by simply talking about it here.
But where can you download the Katrina Halili Video Scandal?
The Hayden Kho video scandals have reached the Philippine Senate already. In fact, Senator Bong Revilla Jr talked about it during his speech in the senate. And according to him, he already watched the different versions of the sex scandals that Hayden Kho created. So, if you want to get free copy of the Katrina Halili - Hayden Kho video scandal and other Hayden Kho Sex Video Scandals, just visit the Senate and ask the good Senator about it.
And one more reminder, the congress is passing a bill against the creation and promotion of the scandalous materials.
Maricar Reyes and Hayden Kho
I knew Maricar Reyes only when she became one of the cast of the “I Love Betty LaFea” TV series aired at ABS-CBN. She played the role as John Lloyd’s first love. Or should I say, the girl who is in love to John Lloyd?
Did you hear about the Katrina Halili Scandal? The guy involve in that Pinay Scandal video, Hayden Kho, is allegedly filmed his sex adventure with Maricar Reyes. The news is not yet proven to be true but when I checked the video, the woman in the video has a resemblance with Maricar Reyes.
Either of the two, Maricar and Hayden, hasn’t yet talked about it but internet users who watched the video worried that the career of Maricar Reyes will be ruined because of this scandal.

News Most Read RSSMANILA, Philippines—Subpoenas have been issued to three people, including celebrity cosmetic surgeon Vicki Belo and her ex-boyfriend Dr. Hayden Kho, in connection with the inquiry of the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) into the raging sex video scandal.
One Dr. Eric Johnston Chua will also be invited to explain how the videos featuring Kho in sexual encounters with actress Katrina Halili and other women ended up on the Net, according to Vicente de Guzman, head of the NBI Anti-Fraud and Computer Crimes Division.
“We will be inviting all personalities mentioned by Ms Halili in her statement, as well as other personalities whose names will surface in connection with this case,” De Guzman said Thursday at a press conference.
He said the inquiry would be “focused on the case of Halili,” and that subpoenas would be issued later to the other “victims.”
Halili said she heard that Belo also had a sex video with Kho.
“I heard that rumor . . . That was also gossiped about,” she said.
“We shouldn’t be afraid to fight back. If we don’t do anything, it’s like we’re tolerating him. There are lots of victims out there. Most are not from show biz—women who were victimized by their ex-boyfriends with cell phone and webcam videos,” Halili said.
On Tuesday, Sen. Ramon “Bong” Revilla Jr. delivered a privilege speech assailing Kho for filming his sexual encounters with Halili and other women.
Kho has a “library” of 40 sex videos with different women, apparently filmed without their knowledge, Revilla said in a statement Thursday. He called on “other victims of Kho” to come out and press charges, saying this would be an “act of vindication,” particularly for those in videos making the rounds of the public domain.
On Wednesday, Halili filed a complaint with the NBI against Kho for videotaping their lovemaking without her consent. The video has been circulating in the Net and is now being sold in DVD form.
Thursday, the actress went to the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) and filed an administrative complaint for immorality and dishonorable and unethical conduct against Kho.
She asked the PRC to revoke Kho’s license and ban him from practicing medicine.
De Guzman said Kho and other persons suspected of involvement in the production and proliferation of the sex video may be charged with violation of Republic Act No. 9262 (or the Anti-Violence against Women and Children Act of 2004).
“We will look into other [charges] that could possibly be filed,” he said, noting that “laws against cyber crime, particularly pornography,” were nonexistent.
De Guzman also said the NBI would seek the help of the maintainers of the website where the Kho-Halili sex video was posted, in determining who had uploaded it on the Net.
Still friends
Leah Salterio, public relations officer of Belo Medical Clinic, said Belo broke up with Kho in December 2008 because of the sex video but had remained friends with him.
Salterio said Kho and Belo were consulting the company’s lawyer, Adel Tamano, concerning the NBI subpoena.
She said Belo had yet to read the subpoena because it was delivered to the clinic’s branch on Tomas Morato Avenue in Quezon City.
Kho resigned from the clinic in December 2008.
In the complaint she filed with the PRC, Halili said she met Kho between June and July 2007 when she went to the Belo clinic.
She said she and Kho became sweethearts in August 2007, but that she decided to end the relationship in January 2008. She also admitted having had a sexual relationship with Kho.
This was how Halili narrated the subsequent turn of events:
Sometime in December 2008, she got wind of talk that a sex video featuring her and Kho was making the rounds. She confronted him about it, and he said that there was no such a video.
On Dec. 26, 2008, Halili’s road manager, Omar Sortijas, received a text message from Kho also denying any sex video with any actress.
But another text message sent by Kho to Sortijas on that day stated that no one could watch the video because Belo had his hard disk and she was ignorant of computer matters: “Walang makakanuod nun dahil na kay Vicki yung hard disk ko. Wala siyang pnagbigyan ng copy dhel di naman yun marunong mag computer.”
On May 17, after the Kho-Halili sex video circulated in public, Kho reportedly sent this text message to Sortijas: “There r 4 videos with kat, if m not mistaken. 2 dancing. 1 talking. And 1 obscene.”
Halili said that the next day, she was able to watch the video through www.uploads.ph. She said it was very clear that it was Kho who set up the camera without her knowledge and consent.
Kho has also been seen in other sex videos featuring himself and other women.
‘Unethical acts’
Halili’s lawyer Raymund Palad said Kho’s acts were immoral and a violation of the provisions of the Medical Act of 1959, as well as the Code of Ethics.
“The unethical acts of Dr. Hayden Kho fall short of that strict moral standard required of a professional, especially in the medical profession. [Kho] is a disgrace to the medical profession and the Board should discipline [him] to serve as a deterrent to others,” Palad said.
“The injury caused to the person, honor and reputation of the complainant is so gross and serious in nature. The immorality perpetrated by the respondent should not go unpunished,” the lawyer said, adding that Kho was “no longer fit to enjoy the privileges of the profession of medicine.”
Commission on Human Rights (CHR) Chair Leila de Lima said the posting of the Kho-Halili sex video was “clearly malicious” and violated the Convention on Elimination of all Forms of Discrimination Against Women.
“I hate to say this but Filipino women clearly do not get enough respect,” De Lima said in a statement.
“If Filipino men do not respect Filipino women, how can we expect a human rights culture in a world where our women, including migrant workers, are often degraded?” she said.
De Lima pushed for the enactment of the Magna Carta for Women, to ensure further protection of women against abuse, exploitation and discrimination.
“The issue here is not the fact that the personalities are well known. It is that porn happened,” De Lima said.
She described pornography as a form of psychological violence against women.
“[It] perpetuates the image of women as objects,” which can lead to other forms of violence such as trafficking and date rape, she said.
Swift action
Halili’s case has triggered action in high places.
Sen. Pia Cayetano has filed a bill seeking to prohibit and penalize the recording of private acts, as well as the sharing and exhibition of the recording, without the consent of the person involved.
Cayetano filed the proposed “Anti-Video Voyeurism Act of 2009” on Wednesday, a day after Revilla’s privilege speech.
Cayetano said many women caught in sex scandals on the Net and mobile phones were “doubly” victimized—“first, when the recording is made without their consent, and second, when such recording is viewed again and again.”
“Such a violation is condemnable and needs to be penalized in the highest degree,” she said.
Undersecretary Anthony Golez, deputy spokesperson of President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, said Malacañang would back any legislation “that would protect the rights of women and children.”
Kho has been placed on the Bureau of Immigration’s watch list, preventing him from leaving the country without clearance from the Department of Justice, according to Immigration Commissioner Marcelino Libanan.
And Philippine National Police Director General Jesus Verzosa said his office was ready to “attend” to any complaint that Halili would file against Kho.
He also said the PNP would be willing to provide protection to Halili if she asks for it.
“We do not discriminate … If there is a complaint, we will investigate. And if there is a request for security and investigation, the PNP will attend [to it],” Verzosa said on the sidelines of the turnover ceremony of troop carriers to regional integrated police offices at Camp Crame Thursday.
Peddled on streets
The police also intends to coordinate with the Optical Media Board in confiscating copies of the sex videos now being peddled on the streets, Verzosa told reporters.
Revilla hailed Halili’s “courageous public confession” in admitting that she was one of the women in the sex videos.
He reiterated his call for the immediate passage of his Anti-Pornography Bill, which seeks to slap stiffer penalties on those who publish, broadcast and exhibit pornographic materials through the use of traditional media, the Net, cellular phones and other forms of media.
