Eric Johnston Chua, Dr. Mark Herbert "Bistek" Rosario and his girlfriend Princess Velasco appeared today in the preliminary investigation being conducted by the DOJ to submit their counter-affidavits to the complaint against them by actress Katrina Halili in connection with the uploading and distribution of the Hayden Kho sex videos. All of them denied any wrongdoing in connection with the charges against them saying that they were only responsible for retrieving the laptops and hard drives from the condo of Hayden Kho.
It will be recalled that all three respondents sent only their lawyers and did not appear personally in the first hearing of the case on June 19, 2009 wherein Katrina Halili faced off against Dr. Hayden Kho while Dra. Vicki Belo arrived late but came ready with her witnesses.

And in this Saksi report by Jay Taruc courtesy of GMANews.tv:
The Bureau of Immigration has placed Dra. Vicki Belo, Eric Johnston Chua, Dr. Mark Herbert "Bistek" Rosario and Princess Velasco under its watchlist. The action was taken by the bureau on the strength of a recommendation from Justice Secretary Agnes Devanadera in connection with the complaint filed by actress Katrina Halili arising from the uploading and distribution of the Hayden Kho sex videos.
Atty. Adel Tamano contested the Bureau of Immigration's decision saying, "We feel that this has no real basis or necessity ... her being innocent of the charge of uploading the videos gives her every reason not to take flight."

This is the transcript I prepared of Part 2 of Eric Chua's interview with Kris Aquino at SNN aired last night on ABS-CBN.

Eric: Dec 9 po yon.
Kris:The girl in question is …?
Eric:The girl in question was, she went to Vicki’s residence to inform her about yung mga infidelities ni Hayden.
Kris:Why?
Eric:Ah, since mabait si Vicki talaga sa kaniya …
Kris:She worked for Doktora?Right?
Eric:She worked for Doktora.Vicki was nice to her and the boyfriend was really nice to her.
Kris:Si Bistek was also very good to this … to Princess, let me just say it for you para hindi ikaw… was very good to her, tapos?
Kris:And then na-guilty siya?
Eric:Na guilty siya
Kris:Why did she feel the need na ikuwento kay Doktora? … The guilt?
Eric: The guilt, yeah.
Kris:Sino una niyang kwinentuhan?
Eric:Si Bistek po. Yun na po yung December 9 na lumapit po si Princess kay Dra. Vicki.
Kris:Kasama si Bistek, hindi?Wala?
Eric: Mag-isa lang po siya. Kasi nagsabi siya na ‘Magrere-resign na po ako Maa’m,’ She told Vicki, ‘Ok, I had a thing with Hayden.’
Kris:Pa’no ka na-involve, pa’no na-involve si Bistek?
Eric: Ayun so, nung sinabi ni Princess, sabi ni Vicki …
Kris:Naniwala si Dra.Vicki kay Princess?
Eric:Naniwala siya pero parang hindi niya matanggap.
Kris:Ok.
Eric:So, sabi niya, ‘Ano pang nalalaman n’yo? Sabihin n’yo lahat.’Pagkatapos no’n pinatawag kaming mga …
Kris:This is the 9th? December 9, yes.
Eric:Pinatawag po kami ni Dra. Belo para itanong sa amin yung aming …
Kris:Who called you?
Eric:Ah … it was Bistek who called me.
Kris:Ok.
Eric:Vicki wanted to talk to us about Hayden. Me, Princess, Bistek and this other guy.
Kris:That you don’t want to name.
Eric:Yes.
Kris:This happened, yung paghaharap na ’yon?
Eric:At Vicki’s place in Dasma..Tapos sinabi ni Vicki sa amin, ‘Ano ba yung naririnig ko? Ano pa‘ng nalalaman n’yo?’ sabi niya.Kasi ayaw niyang maniwala.So binanggit naman na kung ayaw maniwala merong mga video recordings alam naming nasa computer n’ya.
Kris:So the knowledge of these video recordings came from you guys …, you were the ones who told her?
Eric:Yeah.
Kris:And what did she say?
Eric:She said she wanted to see them.She gave us the key and told us to go there and get the computer…
Kris:Eto yung condo, ni Hayden?
Eric: Pinakuha niya …
Kris:Yung?
Eric:Yung mga computers.
Kris:And she said, siya naman nagbayad no’n or property naman ‘yon ng Belo?What happened?
Eric: Kinuha namin sa condo, binalik namin dun sa bahay ni Vicki. Yung driver ni Vicki na si Alan, si Princess, ako at si Bistek.(Author’s Note: Here, Eric mentions the name of Dra. Belo’s driver, Alan.It appears, however, thatthe third guy is somebody named ‘Sip’or ‘Zip’ that Hayden would mention later in this transcript?)
Kris:Whathappened?
Eric:Ah, nag-usap, usap pa lang kami, bubuksan namin yung isang computer… pagkatapos ay … ah, nakatanggap kami ngtext message na si Hayden naggu-goodbye … papakamatay na ‘to.Punta kami dun sa condo kasi baka magpakamatay.
Kris:Nung kinuha n’yo yung computer, nasaan si Hayden?
Eric:Hindi ko alam kung saan siya…
Kris:Pero wala siya, dun sa condo?
Voice Over: Dahil dito, minarapat ng SNN na balikan ang ilang part ng mga statement ni Hayden sa naganap na Senate inquiry para sa mas malinaw na paglalahad sa pangyayari.
Hayden: Yung isang kaibigan ko na di ko pinapangalanan, kinausap ako nagpunta kaming Nouveau … tinatanong n’ya ko kung bakit ko nagawa ‘to …
Sen. Revilla:Yung video?
Hayden: Hindi, yung pagtataksil sa aking kabarkada po. Habang nangyayari po ‘yun, alam ko po na … si Eric Chua, saka si Sip, saka si Bistek Rosario nandun po sa house ni Dra. Belo… nag-uusap na sila do’n. Sinabi po nungkaibigan ko pagkatapos naming mag-usap na, ‘Sige na, bumalik ka na sa bahay mo… dahil habang nag-uusap tayo, kinuha na nila yung laptop mo tsaka hard drive mo.’ (Author’s Note:The name ‘Sip’ above could have been ‘Zip’; I can’t really clearly figure it out. )
Pagdating ko po sa bahay, nung makita ko ho na wala na ‘yung hard drive, tinuluyan ko na po yung sarili ko … nag-take ako ng 30 na Valiums para magpatiwakal.
End of Voice Over and Hayden Flashback portion

Eric:Bistek wasn’t there.She told me to open the laptop

Kris:Ok, so ano ... walang password?
Eric: May password po,
Kris:Pero, eto, she knew?
Eric:Alam niya, nahulaan niya.
Kris:Na eto yung mga possible.
Eric:Oo.
Kris:So, she was the one who gave you the password?

Kris:Sa dinami-dami ng tauhan ni Vicki Belo at sa dinami-dami ng … an organization as big as hers … she can get anybody to open those computers.
Eric:Yes, she can.
Kris:Why you?
Eric:‘It will be alright to see them,’ that’s what she told me.
Kris:So binuksan n’yo?
Eric:Opo.
Kris:Pinanood n’yo?
Eric:Pinanood po namin.

Eric:Yes.
Kris:Diretsong tanong,did you make a copy for yourself?
Eric:No.
Kris:What happened, binigay n’yo sa kanya?
Eric:Sabi niya, burahin namin yung mga natitira sa computer so binura namin, binura ko…
Kris: So, all those that were inside that MacBook Pro, nabura … to the best of your knowledge you deleted?
Eric:Yeah.
Kris:Somewhere along the way, you stopped being a friend obviously?
Eric:Oh yeah, because they dragged my name into the whole scandal.
Kris:Mapangahas na tanong. Do you believe they got back together?
Eric:I can’t … I can’t say but if you ask my opinion,they got back together.
Kris:Asking you, do you believe that it was Dra. Vicki Belo or anybody close to her na sila ang responsible sa pagkakalat ng video na ‘to?Kasi kung pinaninindigan mo na hindi ikaw and you never had a copy …
Eric: I’m a mite curious but this is just guessing, you know, and I can’t say them on TV because that will be doing what they did to me … pointing a finger … I really can’t do anything, but … I can’t answer that.
Voice Over:Samantala, May 27, matatandaang binitiwan ni Lolit Solis ang linyang ito tungkol sa diumanong plano raw ni Eric kay Vicki …
Lolit:Huwag mo ‘tong i-deny Hayden, kausap lang kita kahapon, Kahapon sinabi ko … o ano ngayon ang mangyayari?Ano’ng mangyayari?Ano’ng sasabihin ni Eric Chua?sabi ko sa kaniya, Alam mo sagot niya, ‘Si ano daw po, si Vicks daw po ang ituturo ni Eric.’
End of Voice Over portion with review of Lolit Solis’ comments.
Kris:(Author’s Note: I couldn’t figure out what Kris was asking here?)
Eric:I really don’t know with Dra. Belo … I really don’t know …
Kris:Ok. But what you do know?
Eric:But what I do know is that the DVD was with Dra. Belo.
Kris: … Do you want talaga na si Dra. Vicki ang madiin sa isyung ito?
Eric:You know …
Kris: Or, are you really just trying to defend and clear your name?
Eric: Yes, I just want to clear my name. I’m not here to point a finger at anyone … because I don’t know … but I know the truth and the truth is … Dra. Belo had the only copy.
* End of part 2 of interview with Eric Chua.

VIDEO UPDATE

Here's part 2 of the Kris Aquino - Eric Chua SNN interview via youtube:
Dr. Mark Herbert "Bistek" Rosario has come out in public for the first time since the Hayden Kho sex video scandal broke out. He gave an interview with Jay Ruiz in a report shown tonight on TV Patrol.
What he had to say basically has been said by Eric Chua. He said Hayden Kho was a very close friend, somebody he considered like a brother. "This was a guy that I really trusted ... siyempre I got really angry din," Bistek said when he learned about the relationship between Hayden Kho and his girlfriend, Princess Velasco. The resident doctor says he's gone on voluntary leave from the hospital where he's working as a result of his being implicated in the scandal.
But one significant aspect of his story is that, as a doctor, he checked his friend Hayden's condition when they reportedly rushed to Hayden's condominium after the latter apparently tried to commit suicide and Bistek Rosario led the group in rushing Hayden to Makati Med. Dr. Mark Herbert "Bistek" Rosario, it now appears, probably saved Hayden's life.
"Napatawad ko na siya," says Bistek of his former friend Hayden Kho.
My impression is that Dr. Mark Herbert "Bistek" Rosario's TV persona in his interview with Jay Ruiz looks very much different from their group photograph (Hayden, Bistek and Eric) which by now has been flashed countless times on TV.
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 ...
Here's Eric Johnston Chua's second interview with Jay Ruiz of ABS-CBN via kyte.tv:
VIDEO UPDATE
5 June 20098:16am
We now have this short video report from GMAnews.tv on Eric Chua submitting his affidavit to the NBI yesterday:
Actress Katrina Halili, assisted by her lawyers, filed libel charges against Mrs. Irene Kho, mother of Dr. Hayden Kho, who is now the central figure in the Philippines' brewing sex videos scandal.
The libel charges stemmed from accusations made by Mrs. Irene Kho in her interview, aired several days ago on national TV via ABS-CBN, that it was Katrina Halili who pushed Dr. Hayden Kho into using drugs.
This is the video report of Katrina Halili's filing of libel charges against Mrs. Irene Kho, courtesy of GMAnews.tv:.
It will be recalled during Thursday's Senate hearing that both Hayden Kho and Katrina Halili stuck to their original versions of the drug angle of the controversy. Hayden insisted that it was Katrina who first introduced him to the drug known as Ecstasy in 2007 and was the one supplying him with drugs. Katrina denied the accusation.
But Hayden was adamant saying that he knew and could name Katrina's friends who were the ones buying drugs for her.
Hayden admitted that he eventually bought drugs for himself. Near the end of the Senate hearing, however, even when pressed by Senator Jamby Madrigal, Hayden refused to name the person who was supplying him with drugs saying that that person was so powerful and so well-connected that he could have him killed anytime.
This "high-profile" personality, according to Senator Madrigal, is believed to be the same person who bought the sex videos for P2 million from Erik Chua and Mark Herbert "Bistek" Rosario and had it distributed via the pirate video mass market.
I'm watching Boy Abunda and Kris Aquino at SNN (Showbiz News Ngayon).
These are notes I took while they're running their reports on Erik Chua and Bistek Rosario.
ERIK CHUA
Chua is a graduate of Management Engineering, Ateneo De Manila University in 2001; he's not a doctor and not a frat brod of Hayden Kho.
Hayden and Erik got to know each other in parties. Erik owns a computer shop.
SNN showed again the same TV Patrol video clip showing Erik Chua being interviewed by Jay Ruiz.
The video shows Erik speaking and denying any complicity or guilt in the uploading and distribution of the Hayden Kho sex videos. "Wala akong partisipasyon sa anumang pag-upload o tangkang ibenta ang sex videos," he said. He promised to reveal later what he knows about the ongoing sex video scandal.
BISTEK ROSARIO
Bistek Rosario is a resident doctor. He graduated from Ateneo High School in 1997.
He finished Medicine in UST, Batch 2005 with Hayden Kho; comes from a middle class family
He is serious in relationships
Single pa si Bistek
Bistek and Hayden joined the same fraternity in UST where prominent personalities are also members.
He finished Medicine, 2005, Pediatrics; Hayden, Cosmetic Surgeon.
Matindi raw and gusto ng girlfriend ni Bistek kay Hayden and this supposedly ended their friendship.
Tinakwil daw si Hayden ng fraternity. Bistek reportedly helped Dr. Vicki Belo to find the sex videos in the hard drive.
Erik and Bistek were long time friends in Ateneo De Manila University, where Bistek took up pre-med.
Kung Isa Ka sa 92 Milyong Pinoy, Di Ba Dapat Ipagtanggol Mo ang Dangal ng Pilipinas sa Monumento?
Papayagan ba nating tuluyan nang makulong at matabingan ng light rail projects ang Monumento at palibutan ng mga ipinagbabawal na billboards ang paligid nito?
Proudly Pinoy
Pagpupugay at Panawagan sa Mga Kapwa Pinoy
Magandang araw po sa inyong lahat, mga kababayan kong Pinoy nasaan man po kayo saan mang panig ng mundo! God bless po sa inyong lahat!
Ito po ay isang panawagan upang depensahan natin ang karangalan ng ating bansa sa pamamagitan ng pagpigil sa planong ikulong ang Monumento.
Ang blog pong ito ay inumpisahan sa layuning pagyamanin ang kulturang Pilipino, lingunin ang mayamang kasaysayan ng ating bansa at ipagtanggol ang dangal ng ating bayan sa pamamagitan ng pagpapahalaga sa mga banal na bantayog at alaala ng ating mga bayani.
Pangunahin dito ang Bonifacio Monument sa Caloocan City, lalong kilala sa tawag na Monumento, na ngayo’y humaharap sa pagkakakulong dahil sa napabalitang pisikal na pagdurugtong ng LRT at MRT3. Ang Monumento po ay napapaligiran rin ng malalaking mga billboards. Ang mga bagay pong ito ay ipinagbabawal ng guidelines ng National Historical Institute (NHI) ngunit wala po tayong naririnig mula sa NHI tungkol sa mga paglabag na ito. Maaari po tayong umunlad nang hindi natin dinudungisan ang dangal ng ating bansa at habang patuloy na pinagyayaman ang kalinangan ng ating lahi.
Layunin din po ng blog na ito na magbigay daan kahit na sa munting paraan upang makamit ang tunay at makabuluhang pagbabago sa ating mahal na bayang Pilipinas at sa buhay ng maliliit na Pilipino, lalo na yung walang mga boses at hindi alam kung paano ipagtatanggol ang kanilang sarili.
Bilang umpisa, hinihiling ko po ang tulong n’yo sa pagsusulong ng kampanya upang maibilang ang Monumento sa listahan ng UNESCO World Heritage Cultural Sites. Narito po ang link para sa online petition tungkol diyan. Ang inyo pong pirma ay isang malaking patunay ng pagpapahalaga sa alaala ni Gat Andres Bonifacio at iba pang magigiting na bayaning Pilipino na nagbuwis ng dugo at buhay para sa ating kalayaan.
Sa mga susunod na araw po sana ay sulyapan ninyo ang bahaging ito para sa iba pang pwede nating gawin mga hakbang upang tulong-tulong nating makamit ang pagbabago. Mabuhay ang Pinoy! Papuri sa Panginoon!
Member, Filipinos Unite!!!
