MANILA, Philippines—“Manyak,” “predator” and a “pervert of the highest kind” were how Senator Ramon “Bong” Revilla Jr. described Dr. Hayden Kho, who was allegedly caught on video doing “explicit sexual acts” with a young actress.

Taking the floor on Tuesday, Revilla strongly condemned the uploading on the internet of Kho’s sex video with the young actress, whom the senator declined to identify.

The sex video, Revilla said, was different from the first video, involving the same personalities that came out last week. A video on YouTube shows what appeared to be Kho and sexy actress Katrina Halili doing dirty dancing.

“I have also been informed that there are at least two other sex videos involving the same man with other women. These videos show explicit sexual acts and were obviously taken without the consent of the woman,” he said in a privilege speech. read more
