MANILA, Philippines – Actress Katrina Halili may have already forgiven controversial doctor Hayden Kho, but she said she is not withdrawing the criminal case she filed against him.
Halili, who accused Kho of violating Republic Act (RA) 9262, or the Anti-Violence Against Women and Children Act, maintained that the doctor must face the consequences of his actions.
In October, the Department of Justice lodged a case against Kho before a Pasig court. The case stemmed from the spread of copies of sex videos showing Kho engaging in sexual acts with several women, including Halili.
The DOJ said that while Kho repeatedly claimed that he was not responsible for the spread of the video, the video recording of his sexual acts “clearly shows and manifests his lack of respect for women.”
“He cannot simply justify said act with a disclaimer that the videotaping was not meant to be shown to anyone. He should own up and be responsible for his actions particularly when it affects another person's right and dignity," the resolution read.
Meanwhile, Halili returned to Calayan Surgicentre Corp., a strong competitor of Belo Medical Group (BMG), to become one of its celebrity endorsers.
Halili and BMG owner Dr. Vicki Belo, Kho’s former girlfriend, had a falling out following the sex video scandal.
