PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal) received a copy of the affidavit submitted by Erik Johnston Chua today, June 4, concerning his supposed involvement in the proliferation of Hayden Kho's sex videos.

Erik's name was implicated in the controversy after he was identified by Optical Media Board (OMD) chairman Edu Manzano as the person allegedly behind the leak of the videos.

"I absolutely and categorically deny these allegations," wrote Erik in the affidavit.

ERIK'S SIDE OF THE STORY. Erik, a management engineering graduate of the Ateneo de Manila University, started his account by identifying names previously mentioned in the initial investigation.

"I personally know Dr. Hayden Kho (hereafter, "Dr. Kho"), Ms. Princess Marie S. Velasco (hereafter, "Ms. Velasco"), Dr. Mark Herbert A. Rosario (hereafter, Dr. Rosario"), and Dr. Maria Victoria G. Belo Henares (hereafter, "Dr. Belo")."

Princess and Dr. Rosario, whose nickname is Bistek, used to be lovers. The relationship crumbled after Princess reportedly admitted having a brief affair with Hayden.

In an interview with Hayden's lawyer, Atty. Lorna Kapunan, conducted last May 26, she told YES! and PEP editor-in-chief, Jo-Ann Maglipon: "Bistek had a girlfriend and I understand they were supposed to be getting married soon. How it happen that one day or one night, Hayden and this fiancée of Bistek had one drink too many they ended up in bed, they had sex."

It was on the evening of December 9, 2008 that Princess personally visited Vicki at her house inside an exclusive subdivision in Makati City to spill the details of her "illicit affair with Dr. Kho."

Erik and Bistek knew already about the "illicit affair" prior to Princess's admission to Vicki.

"To verify the statements of Ms. Velasco about Dr. Kho's infidelity, Dr. Belo requested Ms. Velasco to call Dr. Rosario, another acquaintance and me for a meeting at her residence," narrated Erik, who added that the meeting took place also in Belo's residence.

"After hearing our report on Dr. Kho's infidelity with other women and his recordings of the sexual encounters with them, Dr. Belo asked me, Dr. Rosario and Ms. Velasco to retrieve the computers, storage devices and hardware of the Belo Medical Group which were in her condominium [located in Paseo de Roxas in Makati City], where these recordings might have been kept."

LAPTOP, VIDEOS AND SUICIDE TRY. Erik's narration of the events as stated in his affidavit continues:

"Dr. Belo summoned her household help for the key to the condominium unit, and gave this key to me. She then called her driver and instructed him to drive Dr. Rosario, Ms. Velasco and me to the condominium unit using her van. We parked at the third floor parking garage for building occupants.

"Dr. Kho was not at the condominium unit when we arrived. Thus, we proceeded to retrieve the items requested by Dr. Belo.

"We returned to Dr. Belo's residence about an hour later to turnover the computers, storage devices and hardware items she asked us to retrieve from the condominium unit.
