Demand up on ‘Katrina’ sex videos as scandal takes comic turn
“Selling like hotcakes” is an understatement to describe the underground sale here of DVDs on the sexual trysts of cosmetic surgeon Hayden Kho.
Entire cast of characters may all be Manila-based yet eager Ilonggo customers could care no less.
And with the demand high, the law of supply and demand applied as the price of the DVD doubled if compared to prevailing street price of a “regular” pirated film.
A copy is sold at P100 and does not even come in hard DVD casing. No elaborate packaging too unlike other pirated films yet thus far, no complaints from customers said one “pirate” cum ‘distributor.”
Called the “Katrina scandal,” the DVD widely available here in Iloilo contained more than just the now popular sex video of actress Katrina Halili. As added features were episodes of commercial model Maricar Reyes that came in “Part one” and “Part two.” Also included was Kho’s tryst with a Brazilian model.
“Mayo gid negosyo (Business is really good),” said one enterprising DVD source whose favorite customers included lawyers and government workers. “Pero (But) for adults only.”
Meantime with the Kho hysteria came yet another Filipino brand and sense of humor. Passed around via text messages were several versions of “urgent message” and “For the Record” Kho-related text.
Of unknown origin, text messages stated that there is no truth at all on rumors and unfounded are the fears that “Aling Dionisia” was also in the Kho videos.
“Aling Dionisia” is the mother of boxing champ Manny Pacquiao.
