A sex video scandal reached the Philippine senate faster than the alleged military corruption in the US-RP Balikatan fund as alleged by Lt. Nancy Gadian. In a privilege speech, Sen. Ramon Revilla, Jr. castigated a certain Dr. Hayden Kho for taking a sex video of himself and starlet Katrina Halili, his girlfriend--- then showing the raunchy clips in the internet. The accused cosmetic surgeon had similar perversions done to other women which angered Sen. Revilla and feminist groups like Gabriela.

“I have also been informed that there are at least two other sex videos involving the same man with other women. These videos show explicit sexual acts and were obviously taken without the consent of the women,” Sen. Ramon Revilla Jr. said. Philstar (o5/20/09, Calica, A)

One wonders why such a doctor who is held in high regard can be so immature, short-sighted and reckless. Such obscene actions of Dr. Kho are deplored by the public. His alleged misconduct tarnishes the trust that people readily give to the healing profession.

There are those who demand that Kho’s medical license be revoked by the Professional Regulations Commission (PRC). In addition, Revilla wants the passage of a law against voyeurism and the display of sex videos. He is joined by party list house representative Irwin Tieng who calls for the approval of a bill which criminalizes violations of a person’s privacy.(Photo Credit: Inquirer; Philstar) =0=
