"I thought I was doing a favor to Dra. Belo when I agreed to her request that I assist her in opening the computers and other storage devices that we retrieved from Dr. Kho. I did not realize at that time that I was falling into a trap designed by someone who wanted to use me as a 'fall guy,'" says Erik Johnston Chua (main photo) about Dra. Vicki Belo (inset, bottom).

Ongoing pa rin ang isinampang complaint ni Katrina Halili sa Department of Justice (DOJ) hinggil sa uploading ng sex video nila ni Hayden Kho. Last Tuesday, July 7, nakakuha ang PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal) ng kopya ng rejoinder-affidavit ni Erik Johnston Chua bilang sagot sa affidavits na ipinadala ni Dra. Vicki Belo at ni Katrina. Si Erik ang isa sa pinagbibintangang nag-upload ng mga sex videos ni Hayden sa Internet.

Sa bagong affidavit na isinumite ni Erik sa tanggapan ng DOJ noong July 7, sinabi nitong nagsinungaling daw si Dra. Belo sa kanyang mga statement. Tahasan ding sinabi ni Erik na ngayon lang daw niya na-realize na ginawa siyang "fall guy" ni Dra. Belo.

THE MASTER COPY. Sinabi rin ni Erik na gumawa ng "unfounded conclusions" si Katrina sa kanyang rejoinder-affidavit, imbes na magsumite ng "competent evidence in support of her allegations." Ito ay kaugnay ng pagtatago at pagsira diumano ni Erik ng mga sex videos.

Giit ni Erik, "I never concealed or destroyed the sex videos to prevent its discovery as contemplated in Article 19 of the Revised Penal Code."

Dagdag niya, "Ms. Halili, without any factual basis at all, concluded that: (a) 'both [referring to Dra. Belo and I] admitted to participation in concealing and/or destroying the sex video,' and (b) 'they [referring to Dra. Belo and I] concealed and destroyed the sex videos as admitted by them.'

"It is my consistent testimony that only after I made a copy of the video recordings in a recordable digital video disc (DVD-R), which I turned over to Dra. Belo, that I, upon Dra. Belo's instruction and likewise in her presence, deleted all the video recordings in the laptop.

"In other words, I already made a single master copy of the DVD-R containing the sex videos that were found in the laptop of Dr. Kho and I already gave the same to Dra. Belo before I followed her instruction to delete the video recordings that she and I found in the laptop of Dr. Kho."

Sinabi rin ni Erik na: "...It is very obvious that Ms. Halili's allegation that the copying of the sex videos of Dr. Kho in a DVD-R and their subsequent deletion from his laptop was for the purpose of permanently hiding the criminal offense committed by Dr. Kho is a classic case of contradiction. How could Ms. Halili claim that I participated in permanently hiding the video recordings of Dr. Kho when, in truth and in fact, I transferred the said video recordings of Dr. Kho from his laptop to a DVD-R.

"If there was concealment and/or destruction of the DVD-R containing the only copy of the video recordings of Dr. Kho, the one who admitted that she destroyed and threw it away must be the one to be held accountable for doing so."

KATRINA-HAYDEN SEX VIDEO. Itinanggi rin ni Erik ang statement ni Katrina sa sarili nitong affidavit na una pa man ay nakita at napanood na nila ni Dr. Bistek Rosario ang sex video nina Katrina at Hayden.

"Pitifully, Ms. Halili did not only make unfounded conclusions but she also made unsupported assumptions. In paragraph 35 of her Rejoinder-Affidavit, she alleged that 'Erick Chua and Bistek Rosario ARE AWARE OF, and HAVE SEEN, the sex videos of respondent Hayden Kho, Jr. (which includes complainant's sex videos).'

"I categorically deny Ms. Halili's assumption that I was already aware of and had seen her sex video with Dr. Kho when I and Dr. Rosario went to Dra. Belo's residence on 9 December 2008. Truth to tell, I was not aware at that time that Dr. Kho and Ms. Halili had sex videos. More importantly, I have not seen yet such video.

"Though Dr. Kho, on one occasion, showed for a few seconds a clip of a sex video to a group of friends, including me, the girl in the said video was not Ms. Halili, although she is one of the three girls whose sex videos came out in the internet."

THE LAPTOPS & HARD DRIVE. Isa pang binigyang-linaw ni Erik sa kanyang rejoinder affidavit ay ang tungkol sa nangyari noong December 9, 2008, kung saan sinabihan daw silang tatlo—Erik, Bistek, at Princess Velasco—ni Dra. Belo na kunin ang tatlong laptops at hard drive sa bahay ni Hayden.

Ani Erik, "...We tried to open ONLY ONE of the laptops but we could not do so because it was password-protected. And before we could even try to open the 2nd and 3rd laptops and the other storage devices, we received a word that Dr. Kho had attempted suicide. We all then rushed to Dr. Kho's condominium unit leaving the computers and other storage devices at Dra. Belos's house."
