Sen. Ramon “Bong” Revilla, Jr. Saturday slammed the Professional Regulations Commission (PRC) for its slow action in resolving the petition to revoke the medical license of celebrity doctor Hayden Kho, Jr. who earlier figured in controversial ‘sex scandal’ videos with various women.

Revilla said he could not understand why it is taking the PRC so long to come out with a decision on the petition filed by actress Katrina Halili, one of Kho’s supposed victims whom he videotaped his sexual activity with without her knowledge and consent.

The senator said the PRC should have had already issued a ruling over Kho considering he admitted using illegal drugs and deceptively videotaped his sexual encounter with the actress.

“Months had already passed after Katrina lodged a complaint before the PRC. All cards are already laid down. Is PRC waiting for another Hayden video to come out or another victim to file a complaint before they make a decision? ”asked Revilla.

He reminded the PRC of its mandate which is to regulate and supervise the practice of the professionals who constitute the highly skilled manpower of the country.

Revilla said he has written another letter to the PRC to demand a status update on his previous letter and the formal petition of Halili to revoke the license of Kho.

“The public must know what’s keeping the PRC from deciding on the case? They must prove that they are not inutile. This kind of slow action is precisely the reason why victims hesitate to file a complaint,” said Revilla who also co-authored the Anti-Voyeurism Bill where he pushed the six to ten years imprisonment and fine of P100,000 to P5000,000 of photo and video voyeurs to strengthen the penalty provision of the said legislative measure.

He cited Section 24 of Republic Act No. 2382 or the Medical Act of 1959 whereby immoral or dishonorable conduct are among the grounds for reprimand, suspension or revocation of a doctor’s certificate of registration.

He also pointed out that under Article 26 of the Civil Code, every person shall respect the dignity, personality, privacy and peace of mind of his neighbors and other persons, and disturbing the private life of another person constitutes to a cause of action for damages.

“He deceptively recorded his intimately private moments with his girlfriends which was circulated in the internet, mobile phones and pirated DVDs. As I said before, this is no longer Katrina’s fight alone but the fight of all Filipinas against harassment and exploitation,” Revilla said.
