Contrary to a report made by a major broadsheet, the Philippine Medical Association (PMA) clarifies that they have not yet made a final decision on Dr. Hayden Kho's suspension.

Nilinaw ng Philippine Medical Association (PMA) na hindi pa nila sinuspinde ang cosmetic surgeon na si Hayden Kho, Jr., taliwas sa isang newspaper report na pinatawan na raw nila ito ng parusa.

Ayon sa report ng GMA News, kailangan pa raw mag-deliberate ang board of governors ng PMA sa rekomendasyon ng kanilang ethics commission na suspendihin si Hayden ng isang taon dahil sa "dishonorable conduct unbecoming a physician." Ito ay ayon sa executive director ng PMA na si Dr. Arthur Catli.

"The ethics commission's decision is not yet final," sabi ni Dr. Catli. Idinagdag din niya na anumang ruling tungkol sa isyu ay kinakailangang aprubahan ng board, ang highest body ng PMA.

Sinabi rin ng executive director ng PMA na karapatan ni Hayden na dumaan sa "due process" at required din ang PMA na sundin ang sarili nitong administrative code.

Bagamat wala pang itinakdang araw para sa deliberation, siniguro ni Dr. Catli sa publiko na gagawa ng official announcement ang PMA, sa pamamagitan ng president nito o kahit na sinong authorized person, kapag mayroon na silang desisyon.

Ayon sa report ng isang major broadsheet kahapon, Sept. 4, sinuspinde na raw ng PMA si Hayden sa loob ng isang taon, base sa impormasyon mula sa abogado nito na si Atty. Lorna Kapunan.

"The information only came from Kho's lawyer. If that's what she believes, we can't do anything with that. But the report is not necessarily correct," paglilinaw ni Dr. Catli.

"WE WANTED TO EXPEL HIM." Matatandaang nagsagawa ng imbestigasyon ang PMA kay Hayden pagkatapos hilingin ng aktres na si Katrina Halili sa Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) na bawiin ang lisensiya ng cosmetic surgeon.

Ang hiling na ito ni Katrina ay nag-ugat sa pagkalat ng sex videos ni Hayden kasama ang iba't ibang babae, kabilang na si Katrina, sa Internet ilang buwan na ang nakalilipas.

Naglabas ng rekomendasyon noong Huwebes, Sept. 3, ang ethics commission ng PMA na suspendihin si Hayden mula sa kanilang grupo sa loob ng isang year.

Sa hiwalay na panayam ng GMANews.TV sa ethics commission chairman ng PMA na si Dr. Santiago del Rosario, sinabi nito na isang taon lang ang inirekomenda nilang suspension kay Hayden dahil naging "cooperative" daw ito.

Dagdag niya, "At that time, we wanted to expel him, but there were mitigating circumstances that came up. Kho was very cooperative in analyzing involvement in the case. He also expressed commitment to help advocacy programs against illegal drugs and to help in medical missions as expression of remorse and atonement."

Sinabi ni Dr. del Rosario na kapag nasuspinde nga si Hayden, tatanggalin muna sa kanya ang mga benepisyo ng isang active member, gaya ng pagdalo sa seminars for continued medical education.

Binanggit din ni Dr. del Rosario na nakatakda siyang makipagkita sa board of directors sa September 14 para i-present ang kanyang rekomendasyon sa kaso ni Hayden.

    You can't revoke his license just for the sex video scandal, silly ! Si Katrina kasi boba! Kong si Katrina is under 18 yrs of age. Yes, they have an evidence to revoke his license. Apparently, they can't find any reasons to revoke it!

    Di naman manyak si Kho normal naman yan na ginagawa ng mga lalaki...it's just happen na lumabas ang private acrobat niya hahahaha..Mas worst pa dyan ang iba pareho ni Chavit hahahhhahahahahhaa

    Galit kayo kay Hayden pero hindi kayo galit kay Katrina? Sino ba ang nang-agaw? Kung kinunan ni Hayden ng video si Katrina, wala namang intent to show it in public, minalas lang na may nag hack. Kung walang intent, walang crime. Karma lang kay Katrina kasi noong nag leak, nag ka pruweba na wala siyang kwentang babae. Tinulungan na, tumuklaw pa!

    i agree.

    kahit pa private ang ka-manyakan ni hayden, hindi puedeng hindi i-connect iyan sa profession niya as a doctor. kung merong paedophile na pari diyan, hindi puedeng sabihin na walang connection iyan sa pagka-pari niya dahil hindi niya ginagawa ang ka-manyakan niya habang nagmi-misa siya.

    kasi nga hindi naman malpractice or while doing his duty as a Doctor ang nangyari. It happened in his private life at student pa sya noong sila ni Maricar. Doctors have lovelives too, at wala na tayong pakialam doon. Ang tagal na ng video nila ni Maricar, kung gusto nyang ilabas di sana noon pa. Ang may kasalaan dito ay ang nagpakalat ng video at yon ay ang hacker na kasama ni Eric Chua. Yon dapat ang tugusin nila.

    If PMA will let Hayden's crime go unpunished, it just shows VALUES we have back home. Kho is such a disgrace to all doctors and all medical practitioners, and whatever happens to him be a precedent of the values and ethics of the whole medical practitioners in the Philippines.

    I wish to see the end of this saga. i wish to see justice. I wish to see closure.

    sigurado ako, dahil parang tampal lang sa kamay ang parusa kay maniac, di yan matututo. in the near future, maghahasik na naman yan ng lagim coz he could get away with it.

    REVOKE the license. Dont tell me nadala sa drama ni Hayden yung mga governing bodies ng PMA. Gosh, you know better than that. Obvious na nag dradrama ang maniac at kunwari ay maamong tupa. Crocodile tears ni maniac eh effective pala. Ang daming nakuha pati pala yung mga akalang matatalinong doctor or whatever ay nakuha rin. Mga ogags pala itong mga ito, or siguro marami ring maniac sa kanila kaya nakikisimpatya kay Hayden maniac

    What hog wash are you talking about? As a doctor their is an ethical standard to be followed by members of the association. He made a sex video of women with whom he had sex with without their knowledge.And Katrina was his patient. He is a pervert and he should be expelled from the association and revoked his licence.

    Oh well, i believe a Suspension is necessary for Hayden because of what he did. amp; I don't think totally Revoking his license is Fair amp; Just. We all have secrets, d ba? it just so happens, nabulgar ang secret ni M.A.N.Y.A.K.I.S. His secret amp; his profession are totally unrelated. Though it is true, if you're a Doctor, u need to maintain a certain degree of respect amp; dignity in the society, but is not enough to revoke his license bcoz of what he did. The Board's Final Decision was right. Don't get me wrong, I condemn what he did but punishing him should be just amp; appropriate.
    SAMPLE: Husband amp; Wife
    - Wife caught her Husband cheating with a younger woman Jerjer Galore sa Hotel
    RESULT: The wife can't ask the Judge to strip or fire him from his Job. His Job has nothing to do with his infidelity. The Judge can punish the Husband in other means- e.g. if they end up annulling the marriage, the wife can ask ALIMONY amp; Child Support from her Soon-To-Be Ex-Hubby.

    What Hayden did was nothing againts the PMA. It's not malpractice, it's not anything regarding medical practice. What had happened between him and Katrina was his personal business, in his own time. He was not in any clock at that. How could you take a license away from him when he didn't do harm? Katrina kung galit ka sa kanya, then be it. His career in not involved here. Do you comprehend?
    Hayden being a supporter against women's violence was a good thing moved for him. What happened between him and Katrina was not violence at all, lust we may say?

    What Dr Kho did, he did in private and has nothing to do with his profession. In my opinion, he doesnt deserve any suspension from any assn that is related to his profession. We all have our skeletons in the closet. Naiba lang kay Mr Kho ay may naglabas ng sikreto niya. Walang malinis na tao sa mundong ito, we have all fallen short of the glory of our God. Nabulgar lamang ang kay Kho ng isang tao o grupo na walang kunsensiya.
