MANILA, Philippines -- The National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) has sent out subpoenas to three people, including beauty doctors Hayden Kho and Vicky Belo, in connection with the agency’s investigation into the sex video of Kho and actress Katrina Halili.
Aside from Kho and Belo, who are former lovers, the NBI also subpoenaed a certain Doctor Eric Johnston Chua, NBI Anti-Fraud and Computer Crimes Division (AFCCD) head Vicente De Guzman said.
“We will be inviting all personalities mentioned by Ms. Halili in her statement as well as other personalities whose names would surface in connection with this case,” De Guzman said, adding that summonses to the other “victims” would come later with the probe “focused on the case of Halili.”
The NBI-AFCCD chief pointed out that the initial charge against Kho and other persons found to have been responsible for the proliferation of the sex video could be violation of Republic Act 9262 or the Anti-Violence against Women and Children Act of 2004.
“We will look into other cases that could possibly be filed,” De Guzman said, but added that laws on cyber crimes in the country were virtually inexistent.
“We have no laws on cyber crime, particularly against pornography. But the punishment and penalty provided under RA 9262 are heavy enough,” he said.
He also said that the bureau would seek the help of the maintainers of the website, where Kho and Halili’s sex video was posted, to determine who was responsible for uploading the video.
