Philippines joins Hong Kong in celebrity sex scandal - Time to study Filipino Films!

As reported in the Hollywood Reporter, the Philippines joins Hong Kong in a celebrity sex scandal that has rocked the nation and upped the TV ratings.

Around mid-May, footage of Hayden Kho, a celebrity plastic surgeon, engages in sexual acts with 4 female patients.

While the number pales in comparison to Edison Chen, who's number actually hits double digits, it's still a source of major revenue for bootleg DVDs and VCDs. Unexpectedly, actress Katrina Halili has identified herself as one of the victims. It's unexpected because most people would rather choose some convenient, unbelievable excuses like: 1) a likealike 2) an evil twin sister. I admired Katrina Halili for coming forward and suing Hayden Kho.

Kho has suspended his medical activities [Geez, I wonder why?]. Now, for a surgeon, I'm not sure he's the smartest guy out there. For one, he admits to filming the tryst without the patient's knowledge. Combined with the fact that Halili has lost endorsements, modeling and film offers, and I say - case closed - he's going to get sued for millions of dollars. Bearing remarkable resemblance to Edison Chen, Kho denies having leaked the footages into the public domain.

Hopefully, he didn't make the same mistake as Edison Chen and brought his laptop loaded with pictures and videos to a computer repair shop [not the smartest move that Edison made, but then again, he's no doctor].

Again, in a sign that the good doctor may be lacking in good judgment, Kho explained to the Senate committee that "every time we saw each other, there was no conversation. It was all drugs and sex." Kho, of course, was asking the Senate committee to consider legislation that would strengthen laws against pornography and exploitation of women and children.

In some strange universe, Kho thinks it's fine to preach against pornography, but that it's perfectly okay for him to film his sexual escapades while high on drugs and without the other party's consent.

A celebrity surgeon indeed, but definitely not one that anyone should trust to operate or do any kind of medical procedures.
