Only Katrina Halili and Dr. Hayden Kho Jr., with their lawyers, went to the Department of Justice on Friday for the preliminary investigation of the complaint filed by the actress against the cosmetic surgeon.
Due to the absence of other respondents and witnesses, Senior State Prosecutor Emily Fe Delos Santos set a clarificatory hearing on July 14 where everyone is required to be present.Halili had filed a case against Kho for violation of the Anti-abuse of Women and Children Act in connection with the uploading of their sex video on the Internet and distribution in DVD stalls.
An anxious-looking Halili arrived at 2 p.m. while Kho entered the hall while she was being sworn in.
Erik Johnston Chua, Dr. Herbert "Bistek" Rosario, and Princess Marie Velasco - whom Halili had included in the case - failed to submit counter affidavits and only sent their lawyers.Also absent were witnesses Omar Sortijo, Halili's road manager, and Jo-anne Maglipon, editor-in-chief of Yes! magazine.
Dr. Vicki Belo, who is also accused of spreading the controversial videos, was not present during the proceedings. She arrived with her lawyer after Halili and Kho had left the DOJ.
