The sex video scandal has run its course and needs to be buried. When I wrote about the issue previously, it was done with my tongue firmly in my cheek- an issue that's shouldn't be taken seriously. Or so I thought.
Politicians milked the issue for all its worth, starting with Bong Revilla's incendiary speech, to Cayetano's shame campaign, to Madrigal's bitchy grandstanding during the public hearing that will supposedly be used "in aid of legislation." If you ask me, they simply needed to portray themselves as guardians of public morality, now that elections are just around the corner.
Even Gabriella and the Philippines Medical Association joined in the farce since taking the videos without the informed consent of the girl consituted "violence against women" for the former and demonstrates "unethical behaviour of the doctor" for the latter.
Sure, this was a transgression of Katrina's privacy, so the issue should touch on that, privacy, not violence against women per se because the uninformed party in any sex scandal may well be a guy, some gay guy or the girl. So Gabriella should quit making the issue as exclusively a "women's issue." It's a bit of stretch to force the two issues into one. By the way, Gabriella's up for election in the party list next year. Go figure.
As for unethical behaviour, I mean really, Kho has a sex life, just like normal doctors, yes? Let's stop becoming righteous all of a sudden.
As for drug abuse...oh wait, what was the issue again? Privacy? How about focusing on the "privacy" aspect and craft the damn bill. It's not like the two were seen sniffing coke while copulating in the video.
As for the video itself, I mean really, people, it wasn't even that good. Your average thirty-peso bootleg DVD porn is clearer and far more impressive.
