The government has revoked the license of celebrity doctor Hayden Kho Jr. following the immorality complaints filed against him by his ex-lover, actress Katrina Halili.
Nicolas Lapeña, chairman of the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC), said Kho's license has been rescinded since last week following the investigation conducted by the commission's board of medicine.
“Yung decision based on the complaints na finile (ni Halili). Nakakita siguro ang board na meron siyang (Kho) nagawang kapabayaan," Lapeña said in an interview with GMANews.TV.
(The decision was based on the complaint filed by Halili. Maybe the board saw that there was error on Kho’s part.)
Lapeña reportedly said that while Kho could still file for an appeal, he is no longer allowed to practice medicine pending the final decision on his motion. In case the board turns down his motion, he could still ask the PRC to reconsider its decision after two or three years.
“Under the law allowed yan na after two to three years he could file for an appeal. Titignan ng PRC yung naging conduct niya kung still unbecoming of a doctor (The PRC would check if his conduct is still unbecoming of a doctor)," he said.
Kho and Halili were given a copy of the PRC's decision Monday morning, Lapeña said.
The decision came three months after the Philippine Medical Association (PMA) suspended Kho for two years over the same case.
Halili filed the complaints against Kho after a video of their sexual trysts spread on the Internet. She said the video was taken by Kho without her knowledge and consent.
Kho, for his part, admitted filming his sexual encounters but denied uploading the videos. He also apologized to Halili, saying the videos were part of his personal collection and accused his friends of posting them.
Halili also filed a complaint before the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) seeking the agency's help in curbing the rampant selling of their sex video in the underground markets. - KK, GMANews.TV
