Do you agree that Hayden Kho should be investigated in light of the proliferation of his sex videos on the Internet?

Jim Veneracion, Naga City: No, this is a non-issue and a distraction to our more serious national problems. We should be more concerned about having automated elections.

Ruel Bautista, Laguna: He’s just a young virile man living his fantasy. How the video spread isn’t his concern. On the contrary, it might be a boost to his ego. Why, inggit kayo?

Investigate quietly

Germi Sison, Cabanatuan City: Yes, Dr. Hayden Kho should be investigated by the Department of Justice quietly and without exposing to media his women partners, especially that young sexy actress who had said before she wanted to forget all about that experience. Senators and pseudo-women’s rights protector groups should keep their hands off it as they will only add insult to injury while drawing publicity for themselves, which will not help prevent sex videos on the internet. Sensationalizing the case will only add more insulting descriptions of the Philippines abroad.

Louella Brown, Baguio City: I agree that Hayden Kho should be investigated in light of the proliferation of his sex videos on the internet, but it should be done in the proper forum.

Lolong Rejano, Marinduque: For the purpose of amending the law, the hearing in the Senate should not allow live coverage of TV networks to protect the rights of the victims.

Indict and incarcerate if need be

Edgar Artates, Parañaque City: Hayden Kho should not only be investigated. He should be indicted and incarcerated for what he has done. His kind belongs to the zoo. I don’t know if he is a sadist, but what he did was immoral. He has no respect for women.

Rey Joaquin, Las Piñas City: Investigation and incarceration must be in the offing for him! Alec Baldwin’s joke about getting a Filipina mail order bride is very light compared to what this Cassanova has done to our women who were victimized out of sheer love and innocence.

Col Ben Paguirigan Jr., Ret., Zamboanga City: Yes, because he probably violated some laws. It was morally wrong for him to do what he did, the educated person that he is. He must have a vicious aim to do what he did.

Renato Taylan, Ilocos Norte: If a formal complaint has been filed against him, let him defend himself in court. Suspects in the production and distribution of Hayden Kho’s sex video should be investigated. He is the primary suspect.

Pitts Hizon, Pampanga: Yes, Hayden Kho should be investigated for the proliferation of his sex videos, and if found guilty he should be put in jail without bail.

Rose Leobrera, Manila: This doctor is a user. He uses his looks to hook women. Obviously, Kho is the culprit because alam niya where the camera was. He’s insane, and his license must be revoked.

Lita Kasala, Quezon City: If a crime has been committed by Hayden Kho in the proliferation of the sex video, then let the proper authorities file a case against him.

Ryan Pahimulin, Rizal: Any person who commits a serious offense must be investigated and made to pay for his crime.

Yes, but not in the Senate

Ishmael Calata, Parañaque City: I certainly would not allow the investigation to be done by the Senate. What a scenario that would be! I am sure that the whole nation will stand still if it were done in the Senate, with all television networks beaming the proceedings here and abroad. God forbid! We have had enough of bad global exposure already.

Ricardo Tolentino, Laoag City: Hayden Kho should be investigated not in the Senate, but in a mental hospital for he has an unstable mind.

C.B. Manalastas, Manila: Yes, by the NBI, whose findings should be the basis for Philippine Medical Association and the PRC to cancel his professional license.Leave the case to the NBI to investigate and take legal action against Kho if he is found guilty. No to a Senate or Congressional inquiry. 

Gerry del Cano, Muntinlupa City: Yes, but why the Senate? There are so many issues to resolve. Leave the investigation to the NBI.

Digoy Coro, Batangas City: Yes, by the NBI, not in the form of a probe by congressmen and senators.

Arlex Zapata, Cainta: Not in the Senate or the House. Halili and the others in the video should file cases in court.

The women allowed it to happen

Geoffrey Gumban, Davao City: In games of sexual indulgence, whether rubbed by love or out of lust, yet performed in the absence of the sanctity of marriage, the players should have known better in the first place and this moral dilemma must rather be rubbed, errr probed and not the heathen doc!

R. Remiendo, Manila: Yes, I agree that Hayden Kho should be investigated regarding his sex video. He must be reprimanded. Also, the women became victims in these scandals because they allowed it to happen. There would have been no sex video if the women were not ready and willing.

Francis Santos-Viola, Quezon City: Katrina is a bold star, who is she to talk? She should have known that what her kind does for stardom ends up on tape sooner or later.

L.C. Fiel, Quezon City: This Kho-Kat brouhaha is too much ado about libido. What they got themselves into is of their own making.

Khalel Adiong, Iligan City: Why is Katrina Halili in tears now? They were both enjoying what they did. They are both accountable for their mess.

Why single him out?

Richard Decena, Quezon City: Alam po naman ni Sen. Revilla na matagal na ang proliferation ng sex videos. Bakit kailangan mga celebrities pa ang ma-involve for him to show his concern?

Edwin Castillo, Tanauan City: Why investigate Hayden Kho only when there are celebrities and even college students in sex videos, not only on the internet, but also in DVDs and cellphones?

J.R. Mondonedo Jr., Las Piñas City: Why, because he is a doctor? So, if I were a government official or an architect, I can be excused from being investigated? We all have our fetishes. I’m sure Katrina knew what was going on. She is just being pressured by the media and the Senate. If I made a video, would the Senate investigate me? The sad part is people watch it, they enjoy watching it, and afterwards, judge him a sinner.

Ed Ledesma, Iloilo City: Why just Dr. Kho? Why not investigate the scores of his kindred perverts who pollute the internet? Just asking.

Patrick Miranda, Marikina City: A lot of people in the past have complained of the same thing. So where’s their love for the ordinary people?

Leandro Tolentino, Batangas City: Yes, he should be investigated together with some other actors and politicians with similar sex videos now available on VCDs and DVDs.

This should be an eye-opener

Johann Lucas, Quezon City: Hayden Kho should be investigated for his pambababoy to a woman and I hope this case would be an eye-opener that the proliferation of sex scandal videos are already alarming and not entertaining at all.

Voz Butuyan, Pangasinan: Yes, so other victims would surface and attain due justice!

C.B. Fundales, Bulacan: The fact that Halili filed a formal complaint makes Kho very culpable for a crime. His role in the video’s internet publication must be investigated.

Merlino Quinsay, Ilocos Sur: Yes, however, this isn’t the first or only such case. Go after the others, too.

Vir Lauzon, General Santos City: Yes, he should be investigated. These sex videos should stop; there ought to be a law to jail those who posted them on the internet.

Perils of illicit sex

Nony de Leon, Bulacan: The rarely-mentioned lesson from the Hayden Kho videos is the perils of illicit sex. Sexual abstinence is still best for the unmarried.

Show respect to women

Aldo Apostol, Quezon City: Not only Hayden, but others, too. They need to show some respect to women, who are not toys or images to be exploited. Hope Hayden gets what is due him.

Eric Gopilan, Quezon City: There is no need for an investigation. The evidence is being openly feasted on by the public. Hayden Kho should be indicted immediately. Women should be respected.

Ric Vergara, Calamba City: Definitely, Dr. Kho should be reminded that even prostitutes deserve respect.

He should lose his license to practice

Cris Rivera, Rizal: Away with lengthy probes. In words and in actions, a public apology isn’t enough. A woman’s dignity is at stake; Dr. Kho’s license and PMA registration must be nullified.

Ella Arenas, Pangasinan: Definitely; we should not just let professionals who practice sexual perversions go scot-free. Professionals should conduct themselves in the highest moral and ethical standards.

Eddie Yap, Kabankalan City:  No investigation is needed for Hayden Kho. Just revoke his license to practice his profession and forget all about it. The investigation will only further titillate the prurient nature of countless voyeurs all over the country who are actually fantasizing on hunky Hayden and sex kitten Katrina. In reality, many bedroom perverts have been video recording their sexual acrobats on bed for personal consumption. It’s only because of the celebrity status of the persons involved that the scandal has been magnified a thousands times to satisfy the desires of the people for the erotic.

It takes two to tango

Lydia Reyes, Bataan: Yes, Dr. Hayden Kho should be investigated for he violated some laws. But the blame shouldn’t be put solely on him. Ms. Halili should also be investigated.

Joel Caluag, Bulacan: Both Hayden Kho and Katrina Halili should be investigated. I don’t believe Katrina didn’t know about the camera when they were doing it.

Medel Verzosa, Ilocos Sur: Both Kho and Halili should be ostracized for their ways. Let them suffer the consequences of their acts.

Manuel Abejero, Pangasinan: Yes, the same with Katrina Halili, because it takes two to tango, and throw in those involved in the proliferation of x-rated DVDs, as they’re everywhere.

The price of being famous

Edwin Monares, Rizal: Yes, and include Katrina Halili. They are not just ordinary mortals; they are role models for they are in the circle of stars the youth look up to. They should be held responsible for being bad examples.

What’s the big deal anyway?

Ricky Sajorga, Metro Manila: It’s useless to investigate Hayden Kho of his sex videos because as far as I know it’s a Golden Rule – the one who has the gold rules.

Jose Parco, Aklan: What’s the big deal about it anyway? Any sex video from Quiapo will do. It’s practically the same, however you look at it. After all, “One man’s poetry is another man’s pornography!”

Jose Fabello Jr., Cagayan de Oro City: The proliferation of Hayden’s sex video on the internet is understandable given his fame. Sex videos are nothing new. Adults get to see sex for a fee. If somebody thinks Hayden’s video is any different because it is done this way and not that way, then that somebody should file the appropriate case in court. Let’s see how the judges come up with what they have to say.

Imee Aglibot, Rizal: I couldn’t think of any reason why the business of a guy like a Hayden Kho should be given space. Why waste time on him? There are many celebrities who opted to study and became nurses, nursing aides, and caregivers. Aren’t these guys’ stories worth more publishing and deserving of public discussion?

Maximum penalty

Yes, pinaka-bastos na doctor ‘yan sa buong mundo. He should be prosecuted and meted out the maximum penalty if evidence warrants it.

Ed Alawi, Davao City: Yes, and if proven guilty, he must be meted out the maximum penalty. To me, Dr. Kho has a sick mind.

Noel Banias, Metro Manila: Definitely. He should be brought to court, but not before being stripped of his medical license. The maximum prison term for such a dastardly act should be given to him so that he may not victimize women again. In the same light, not only Kho, but several other prominent society figures, should be investigated with regard to the present brouhaha.

Ignacio Anacta, Metro Manila: I believe Hayden Kho has a serious reasoning imbalance! If he finds pleasure in showing his sexual prowess to the public, then maybe he is not aware that sex is a private thing! I fully agree that he should be investigated and be punished to the maximum as provided for in our laws for his irresponsible actions.

A disgrace to the medical profession

Rodolfo Talledo, Angeles City: He’s a disgrace to his profession; a pervert worse than those male prostitutes who prey on sexually starved matrons and gays along the Mabini strip.

Leonard Villa, Batac City: Yes, because apparently, he violated laws on computer crimes and violence against women. Hayden Kho is a disgrace to the medical profession.

Armando Tavera, Las Piñas City: Shame on him. He’s like a toro performer showing the whole world that he’s good in bed. Kawawang mga babaeng nabiktima niya. 

Dennis Acop, Baguio City: Definitely. He is a doctor and being such, his conduct is governed by lofty professional standards that certainly do not include secretly documenting his sexual exploits like a professional pervert. Secondly, the impact of his improper behavior has spread through the internet thereby infecting a lot of innocent minds.

Benjamin Nillo, Las Piñas City: Yes, let’s get to the bottom of this. I’m still not fully convinced that a promising young doctor would upload his self-recorded sex video.

Felix Ramento, Manila: Yes, as a doctor, he should know better than being addicted to sexual perversion or has sex become part and parcel of this business of fiddling with the human body?

Nothing more than a distraction

Diony Yap, Bacolod City: Print and media are free to feast on the Kho-Halili sex video issue para naman lumihis ang issue sa sangkatutak na corruption sa gobyerno. Ganun lang kasimple, di ba?

Dave Velasco, Marinduque: I think it’s not worth investigating. The accused and accusers simply want popularity to earn a living.

Political showboating

William Gonzaga, Marikina City: Yes, Katrina Halili’s reputation and career have suffered much and it’s proper that the culprit be penalized for such misdeeds. It’s Dr. Kho’s misfortune that political season has come, thus the issue will be milked for publicity.

Gerii Calupitan, Muntinlupa City: I don’t think so. If Sen. Revilla is only out to gain pogi points for the 2010 elections or to promote Alias Pogi 4, Hayden is a parasite that lives off its host. With everybody going gaga over Kat’s sex video, kikita lang lalo ang pirated DVD makers.

Dino Virgilio, Caloocan City: This Dr. Kho affair is yet another example of political showboating by an attention-starved trapo to gain acclaim. Congress shouldn’t waste time on trash.

Prosecute the one who circulated the video

Jimmy Donton, Puerto Princesa City: It’s the sin, not the sinner. Hayden Kho is a victim of his own weaknesses as a man perceived by showbiz fanatics as a macho. Unfortunately, Mr. Kho violated their rights of privacy, thus, this sex video. He should not be investigated for it. Instead, the person who circulated it should be strictly prosecuted.

Joseph Mendiola, Pasig City: Before we crucify Hayden, let’s look further into matters, shall we? He’s a bonafide bachelor, right? He could do whatever he pleases with his life. We all have demons and skeletons in our closet. This is a matter of privacy; the recorded videos are his and for his own personal pleasure. The problem is that those recorded videos came out. Who was responsible for its proliferation? If the issue is morality, aren’t some of our male senators in the same breed as Hayden?

Let it go through due process

Lucas Banzon Madamba II, Laguna: He can be investigated. He can also be given due process as well as equal rights.

Nestor Buñag, Mandaluyong City: Absolutely, even without the furor and hysteria raised by the zealous movie star senator now hell-bent on prosecuting lewdness on the internet. He’s rather late.
