[edit] Background
Katrina Halili is an alumna of the StarStruck talent search and the cover girl of leading magazines such as FHM and Maxim Philippines. She was voted as FHM Philippines' sexiest woman for the year 2006 and bagged the title yet again in 2007. She is the first StarStruck contestant to top the FHM Philippines' 100 Sexiest list and the only Filipina celebrity to have won the title twice in a row. She is a three-time FHM Philippines covergirl.[1] With 123,000 votes, she placed 2nd in 2008 next to Marian Rivera.
[edit] Controversies
In May 2009, videos that show compromising encounters between Halili and Dr. Hayden Kho were distributed over the internet without her consent.[2] It was supposed that the person behind the leak of the videos to Internet was a certain Eric Johnson Chua, a close friend and fraternity brother of Hayden Kho.[3] Sen. Ramon Revilla Jr., in his privilege speech, denounced Kho's acts and would file a case for the removal of Dr. Kho's license.[4] She is also consulting with the women's rights group GABRIELA regarding the legal actions that will be placed against Kho.[5] She has since attended a Senate Hearing where she denounced Hayden Kho.Recently she filed a criminal case against the mother of Hayden Kho for libel before the Quezon City Prosecutors Office alleging that the latter made malicious remarks against her.[6] She has also filed against Dr. Kho for violation of Republic 9262 (Anti-Violence Against Women and Their Children). After months of stopping from work (due to the effect made by the scandal in which she was involved) she has been chosen as the antagonist of GMA 7's Philippine TV adaptation of Rosalinda.
