Lolit Solis's involvement in the Hayden Kho-Katrina Halili sex video issue apparently has gotten deeper, thanks mostly to an audio clip that seems to underscore her role in the scandal. Lolit explained her side on Startalk, which she co-hosts with Joey de Leon, yesterday July 18.

At the outset, she tackled what happened last May 21, 2009 at Vicky Belo's home. With whom did she align herself, Katrina or Hayden?

"Unang-una kong sasagutin yung kay Katrina at kay Hayden," began Lolit. "Ang pinapanigan ko talaga diyan bilang babae at nanay, e si Katrina dahil yun ang reaction ko noong lumabas ang video na, 'Ay, kawawa naman ito!' Hindi man lang niya alam na bini-video siya.

"But that time noong May 21, dahil nga umiiyak si Vicki Belo and wanted me to talk to Dr. Hayden at bigyan ko daw ng chance kasi kawawa naman daw, ganoon, so pumayag ako. Pero noong meeting noong May 21, after that, talagang parang nakita ko talaga kay Hayden na baboy talaga ito. Hindi magbabago."

Her dislike for Hayden escalated as she continued, "Pagka pinayagan mong makalusot siya dito, e marami pang kagaguhan ang gagawin. So, noong sinabi ko iyon kay Vicki, the following day na ayoko sumama doon sa 'Hayden Team.'"

KATRINA LETDOWN. Lolit was quick to express her disappointment in Katrina as well. "Sinabi ko na noong umpisa pa lang na ayaw ko madamay si Dra. Vicki Belo dahil kaibigan ko 'yan and aside from that, e biktima din si Vicki," explained Lolit.

"Sabi ko naman na ang kaaway lang dito e si Hayden dahil siya lang naman ang nambaboy sa iyo. So, ang para sa akin, ang focus mo lang si Hayden. Noong idinemanda na ang Belo Medical at idinemanda na si Vicki Belo, parang sabi ko na, 'Saan ito naaano?' July na ngayon. May nakikita na ba tayong concrete result ng sex video? Parang saan-saan na napupunta at nada-divert ang issue."

The issue, according to Lolit, strayed from its original purpose, and thanks to an audio clip of the May 21 meeting that had somehow made its way to the attention of the other party, Lolit suddenly became the center of attention. Eventually she became the subject of a theory that she had orchestrated the whole thing.

But for Lolit, it was too farfetched. First of all, the audio clip was three hours long, not 70 minutes as the news claimed.

"Hindi pa 'yan buo," she revealed. "I want to clear this out bago ko makalimutan, kasi 62 years old na ako, I remember siguro kahapon ang meeting namin o kagabi. Kinabukasan, e nagkita kami nila Atty. Palad [Katrina's legal counsel], Katrina Halili sa Anabelle's [restaurant]. Sabi ko na, 'Alam niyo, you better be careful at ayusin n'yo lahat ng gagawin n'yo kasi hinire nila si Atty. Lorna Kapunan at alam n'yo kung gaano kahusay si Atty. Lorna Kapunan.' Ako pa ang nag-inform kay Atty. Palad.

"Huwag niya sabihin sa akin na na-disappoint siya sa akin dahil noon pa lang, e, inaano ko na ang bagay na ito. Hindi naman ako ganoon ka-powerful at maimpluwensiya na para sabihin sa tao na 'Gawin mo 'to, gawin mo 'to!' Alam mo, ang kinakatakutan ko ngayon, e, baka mangyaring ganito na, 'Halika, Hayden, halika, Katrina, halika, Maricar at mag-sex kayo at ibebenta ko ang sex video.' Baka maging ganoon ang ending!"

STICKING TO THE ISSUE. Lolit stressed that sticking to the original purpose of the case should be the priority. For now, it seems that the issue has gone in separate directions.

"Kung saan-saan na napupunta!" exclaimed Lolit. "In the first place, ano ang kinalaman ko dito? Ang kasalanan ko lang, e, ang daldal ko at kung ano-ano pinagsasasabi ko. As babae nga, gusto ko ipagtanggol si Katrina. Then later on, as a friend of Belo, e, gusto ko ipagtanggol si Belo.

"Number one talaga, I will admit this: inis ako, galit ako kay Hayden Kho! Siya lang naman gumawa niyan. Wala naman problema kundi niya kinunan ng video ang babae. At wala naman sanang problema si Katrina kung hindi niya pinatulan si Dr. Hayden na alam niya na boyfriend ni Vicki Belo in the first place!"

What does she say about the notion that she "betrayed" Katrina's camp?
