Support for Katrina Halili

Outpouring support pours for Katrina Halili from various sectors as the controversial actress facing one of her toughest battles.

Halili vowed to go after former lover Dr. Hayden Kho and others who were responsible for spreading a sex video of her and the cosmetic surgeon on the Internet.

Fellow showbiz colleage Nene Tamayo, Erich Gonzalez and RR Enriquez condemned the videotaping of the sexual intercourse and its eventual uploading on the Internet, saying these violated Halili’s rights.


"Dinigrade mo 'yong tao na nagkaroon kayo ng relationship. Supposedly dapat kahit paano may respeto ka sa kanya," Tamayo said.


"Masakit talaga 'yon para sa aming mga kababaihan, na makita mo 'yong mayroon kang video, mayroon kang ganoon scandal," Enriquez echoed.


Actress Angel Locsin got irked when the sex scandal broke out. She said a stronger law protecting women against this kind of abuse should be passed by Congress.

She maintained she would never watch the video out of respect for Halili.


Lolit Solis, Kho’s former manager, meanwhile, called for the revocation of Kho’s license. Solis stressed that it is not fair for the actress to suffer alone due to the controversy.

Kho should also face the consequences of his actions, she maintained.

“Ten years siyang nag-aral, hindi niya napag-aralang masama yon? Si Katrina all her life hanggang sa (magiging) apo niya, may stigma na," she said.

Solis dropped Kho as one of her wards after the relationship of the cosmetic surgeon with Dr. Vicki Belo ended. Belo and Kho had separated after the former discovered his affair with Halili.
