PRC Turns Down Hayden Kho's Appeal

Dishonorable and unethical conduct had been the basis of Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) to revoke Hayden Kho's authority to practice the medical profession. That decision was given on November 20, 2009, following Hayden's much publicized sex video scandal with female celebrities, the most controversial of which was the Kapuso actress Katrina Halili.

Hayden, a cosmetic surgeon before his license was revoked, filed an appeal after PRC made that decision, but it was turned down earlier this week. The commission, though, was quick to say that their decision wasn't final yet. Hayden's camp can still file another appeal.

In a text message to GMA News, Hayden had this to say regarding his medical license: "It is difficult to accept and it's painful, because I'm losing my medical license not because of lack of knowledge or skills or even lack of dedication to my profession, but because of what I did in my personal life. I am not saying what I did was not wrong, but I appeal for fairness."

In a statement sent to entertainment columnist Ricky Lo, Hayden's girlfriend, Dra. Vici Belo said: "I am filled with sadness that Hayden's appeal has been turned down. Being a doctor myself, I know how difficult the journey was the years of studying and endless sleepless nights on duty, not to mention the huge cost of a medical education that his parents sacrificed for."

Katrina Halili was thankful that her fight for justice was having positive results. She's not literally rejoicing for what happened with Hayden Kho's medical license, but said that she's just doing what legal actions she could do to give justice to the scandal she got involved in two years ago.
