Eric Johnston Chua Insists He Gave Dr. Vicki Belo the Only Master Copy of Hayden Kho Sex Videos — 2nd Interview with Jay Ruiz of ABS-CBN, June 4, 2009

4 June 2009

In an exclusive second interview with Jay Ruiz of ABS-CBN, Eric Johnston Chua claimed that he gave to Dr. Vicki Belo the only master copy in one DVD of Dr. Hayden Kho's sex videos.

This is the transcript of Jay Ruiz's report and interview with Eric Chua:

Preface by Karen Davila: Walang ibang may hawak ng master copy ng mga sex video ni Hayden Kho kundi si Vicki Belo. Ito ang idiniin ngayon ni Eric Chua sa eklusibong pagharap niya sa ABS-CBN News. Si Chua ang itinuro ng kampo ni Dr. Kho at Belo na nagpakalat ng Hayden Kho sex video.  Exclusive, nagpa-patrol, Jay Ruiz. 

 

Jay: Mahigit isang linggo matapos ma-interview ng ABS-CBN News si Eric Chua, muli siyang humarap sa amin para sabihin ang kanyang nalalaman sa pagpapakalat ng mga sex videos ni Hayden Kho. Hindi raw niya matiis na manahimik habang nasisira ang reputasyon niya at ng kanyang pamilya. 

Eric: Now I'm infamous as the guy who spread the video. I go around and people would ask me, "How could you do that to the girls?"

Jay:  Sa kuwento ni Eric, nagsimula ang lahat noong December 9, 2008. Inamin raw ni Princess Velasco kay Dra. Vicki Belo ang kanyang naging bawal na relasyon sa boyfriend niyang si Hayden.  Si Velasco ay empleyado sa Belo Medical Clinic at girlfriend naman ni Dr. Herbert "Bistek" Rosario na kaibigan nina Hayden at Eric.

Eric:  Upon hearing of Princess' report, Vicki asked Princess to get us to go over to her place.

Jay: Nang makaharap ni Vicki Belo si Eric at Bistek, isinumbong rin nilang may mga sex videos si Hayden na nakatago sa kanyang computer.

Eric: ...  At times, I didn't thought these recordings ... 

Jay: Dahil dito, pinakiusapan daw sila ni Belo na kunin ang mga computers ni Hayden sa tinitirhan niyang condominium.

Eric: Vicki assured us that the computers were property of the Belo Medical Group and that she owned the apartment where Hayden was staying and she even gave us the key to the apartment and provided us with the driver and a car to take us there.  

Jay: Pagdating sa bahay ni Belo bitbit ang mga computers, nabalitaan daw nilang nagtangkang magpakamatay si Hayden.

Eric: Just when we were about to start working on the laptop, we received information that Hayden had attempted to commit suicide so we all rushed back to the condominium.  When we got there, we found Hayden sprawled on the bed unconscious.

Jay: Pitong araw mula noon at nang gumaling si Hayden, muli raw ipinatawag ni Belo si Eric para buksan ang computer ni Hayden at ipakita ang mga sex videos. 

Eric : We got to work, compiled the videos and when we were confident have already been located, she gave me a DVD disc and asked me to burn her a copy of the videos.  After that, she told me  to delete the files on the computer.

Jay:  Bagama't masama ang loob niya kay Hayden dahil sa pang-aagaw nito umano sa girlfriend ni Bistek, wala raw motibo si Eric para ipakalat ang mga video.

Eric: ... Yeah, I'd say that's the master copy ... as far as I know, that's the only copy.  But I don't know if she made second or third generation copies of the first one but ... the copy she told me to make in the computer was one ... one disc.

Jay: Nagpakita na si Eric sa NBI kanina para magsumite ng kanyang affidavit. Sa ngayon, pinag-aaralan na ni Eric Chua na magsampa ng kasong libel laban sa mga taong nag-akusa sa kaniya. Hindi raw kasi tama na basta pangalanan siya sa media nang walang inilalabas na ebidensiya.  Jay Ruiz, patrol ng Pilipino.

End comment by Karen Davila: Patuloy naman po naming kinukuha ang reaksyon ni Dra. Vicki Belo pero hindi sumasagot ...

Lolit Solis Reacts to Accusations by Mrs. Irene Kho — "Tuwang-Tuwa Ako Na Lumabas Siya sa TV!"

26 May 2009

My head is still spinning from all the charges and counter-charges that are flying in all directions as a result of the brewing Hayden Kho sex videos scandal.

In this GMA-7 exclusive, Igan Arnold Clavio interviews Manay Lolit Solis by telephone on the issue.  Lolit Solis, who is not known for holding back when engaged in controversies is still her usual bubbly self but I can see that she's quite composed and relaxed (by Lolit Solis standards, I mean) when tackling the issues.  

Here is the video clip courtesy of GMAnews.tv:

Lolit Solis did make this statement at one point in the interview:

"Kung talagang sabi niya ... binibigyan ng drugs ni Katrina 'yung anak niya na isang doktor, aba, eh hindi na nga ako nagtataka Arnold na nabalita noon na may namatay na pasyente sa kamay ni Dr. Hayden," said Lolit Solis.

"Habang nagla-lipo?" asked Igan Arnold Clavio.

"Oo," Di ba, eh kung nagdo-droga siya, ganu'n nga ang mangyayari," added Lolit Solis.

Regarding the alleged patient's death mentioned by Lolit Solis, so as to present this in a balanced light, here's a PEP article dated May 23, 2008 entitled Dr. Hayden Kho disputes rumor about patient's death. 

Said article made reference to a May 6, 2008 blog post entitled "Reviving Rumors (re-written) written by Hayden himself in his Multiply account, Hayden's Haven, wherein the now embattled doctor is quoted as saying:

They finally had an autopsy done and it cemented the fact that her death is indeed unrelated to surgery. The Philippine Medical Association had also investigated the case and released a statement.  The demise is due to Status Asthmaticus, and not related to surgery.

With that, my name has been cleared and the family finally quit blaming me and the other doctors who handled the patient's case.

More on this when I return.

Hayden Kho Take 2, "I Apologize ..." — Dito Nagsalita Na Siya, Hindi Statement Lang — Pero Mukhang May Mga Ayaw Maniwala

22 May 2009

This is the apology of Hayden Kho, Take Two — this time around he's the one speaking instead of just a prepared written statement being flashed onscreen.

In case, you also want to read the words instead of just hearing them, this is the full transcript of  Mariz Umali's report including the text of the sound bites from Dr. Hayden Kho:

Igan Arnold Clavio:  Inako ni Hayden Kho ang kasalanang nagawa at lubos na pinagsisisihan ang nangyari.  Depensa ng abogado ni Dr. Kho, lulong daw si Hayden sa droga nang panahong ginawa niya ang mga kumakalat na sex video.  Pero ang ilang Senador, hindi tanggap ang paliwanag na ito.  Saksi si Mariz Umali.

Hayden:  I deeply regret everything that has happened because of my poor judgment... Hmmm... Nagsisisi na po ako.

Mariz:    Halata ang lungkot at pagkabalisa sa mukha ni Dr. Hayden Kho nang humarap sa media.  Muli niyang iginiit nagawa lang niya ang video bilang bahagi ng pribado niyang buhay, bagay na wala siyang intensiyon na ipakita sa iba. Sa halip ang sinisisi niya ang mga taong nagkalat nito.

Hayden:  Sa dami nang nadamay, sa dami ng mga nasaktang tao dahil may nagnakaw at nagkalat ng videos... Right now, I may feel deep remorse ... you know, it's too much to ask for forgiveness right now...  Sana ... sana, someday people will learn to condemn the sin and not the sinner.

Mariz:  Pero ang biktima niyang si Katrina Halili, bingi sa pagso-sorry ni Hayden.  

Katrina: Dapat 'yon, hindi lang ganoon ... hindi, hindi lang paghingi ng tawad.  Dapat po siyang parusahan.

Mariz: Aminado ang abogado ni Dr. Kho na si Atty. Lorna Kapunan, lulong daw si Hayden nang panahong ginawa niya ang mga kumakalat na sex video.

  

Atty. Lorna Kapunan:  These all happened when ... ah ... he was a drug user.  These all happened before December when Hayden was getting his treatment. 

Mariz:  Pero hindi bumenta kay Senador Bong Revilla ang depensang ito ng kampo ni Hayden.

Senator Bong Revilla: Palusot ng magagaling na abogado, 'no ah. Sa korte na lang sila magpaliwanag. 

Mariz; Paniwala pa ni Senadora Miriam Defensor-Santiago, mahihirapan lang ang kampo ni Hayden kung gagamitin nitong depensa ang umano'y problema sa pag-iisip ng celebrity doctor.

Senator Miriam Defensor-Santiago: He has never appeared in public that he has indicated other signs of insanity so he cannot claim that overnight, he became insane.

Mariz: Ako si Mariz Umali at ako ang inyong saksi!

Ted Failon's Sworn Statement to the QCPD Past Midnight April 15, 2009

25 April 2009

Here is the full text of Ted Failon's sworn statement before the Criminal Investigation and Detection Unit (CIDU) of the Quezon City Police District (QCPD) on the night of April 15, 2009.

The sworn statement which was taken by SPO2 Jerry S. Abad consists of four (4) pages.  Ted was assisted by Attys. Vince Bayhon, Arnold Perez and Kristine Tiangco all of whom also signed the document.

Please click on the images to enlarge them:

Page 4

There are critical questions that SPO2 Abad could have asked Ted during that fateful night of April 15.  Here are some of them:

1)  Was the drawer containing the gun locked?

2)  If so, who had the key?  Did Trina have a key?  Who else may have had access to it?

3)  When was the last time Ted checked his gun or handled it?

4)  Did Ted order the cleaning of the bathroom? 

5)  If he did not, who ordered the cleaning of the bathroom? Or, who would normally have the authority to order the cleaning of the bathroom?

SPO2 Abad's failure to ask these questions is unfortunate. At least one of Abad's superiors should have been present during the questioning.  Or, Abad should have had at his fingertips a basic questioning handbook or checklist which would have reminded him of the routine questions that would normally be asked in a shooting incident. I guess this is one of those things that should be included in formulating my proposed TRINA Benchmark or whatever else you might want to call it.     

More careful police investigation could have spared our nation a lot of unnecessary second-guessing if the answers to these questions had been established right away. As it was, some police authorities were charging Ted Failon with failing to cooperate with the police but it seems here that lapses in police questioning itself contributed to the absence of clarity early on in the investigation.   

The apparent lapses on the part of Ted Failon, their househelp and Trina's relatives and for which some of them now face charges of obstruction of justice consist of the cleaning of the bathroom and the Pajero and the failure to make a very early report of the incident  to police authorities. To be fair to the police, their job would have been a lot easier if they had an untampered incident scene to work with. 

Having said that, I personally believe that it's a suicide based principally on the results of the autopsy by forensic experts Drs. Erwin Erfe and Raquel Fortun, who both give their expert opinion that Trina's wound was self-inflicted. It's difficult to tamper with the laws of physics and no amount of speculating will alter the findings of these seasoned forensic professionals who have established a perfectly level internal beveling of the bullet inside the skull.  

There is also the testimony of Trina's close female friends Joy Chua and Jackie Bartolome. Chua, in particular, related how Trina made explicit mention to her of Trina's desire to commit suicide.  

My comments here have the benefit of hindsight. Anyone of us can commit all kinds of mistakes when we are under stress. Fault finding is not the objective here. This analysis is provided to help glean the sad lessons that we need to learn and improve on from this painful experience in our nation's history.
