Palawan declares Hayden Kho persona non grata

MANILA, Philippines — Controversial celebrity doctor Hayden Kho Jr. is now considered persona non grata in Palawan province, a radio report said Tuesday. Radio dzXL reported that the Sangguniang Panlalawigan ng Palawan adopted a resolution where the board members said there is no place in the province for someone like Kho. The provincial board also said the resolution is not only for Halili but also for all women. Halili, who hails from Palawan, joined the "Mutya ng Palawan" beauty pageant in 2003. Last week, she filed a complaint against Kho for the posting on the Internet a sex video they had. The report said the provincial board sent copies of its resolution to Halili, Sen. Ramon Revilla Jr., and the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI). Revilla denounced Kho in a privilege speech last week and prodded Halili to file charges against her former boyfriend at the NBI. - GMANews.TV
