The article is of course well researched and extensive, therefore very long.
Dr. Hayden Kho, Jr. (Hayden) had numerous affair with women even while he and Dr. Vicki Belo (Vicki) were still "on". Vicki received information about these affairs through anonymous text messages, which she ignored upon assurance from Hayden. But one of Hayden's buddies was "wronged" (woman related, of course) by Hayden and sought refuge from Vicki. Vicki gave that guy the key to Hayden's condominium, and he stole Hayden's personal computer and journals to look for "evidence" of his "crime".
Also, in one of the "mini" break-ups of Hayden and Vicki, Hayden went to Katrina because he needed someone to talk with. That nothing happened during that talk, Katrina emphasized that she and Hayden talked in the car. According to Katrina, Hayden wept and was overly devastated ("...nag-usap kami sa kotse, 'tapos umiiyak siya. 'Tapos, parang devastated na devastated siya").
Then Katrina spilled that Hayden was scared to lose Vicki as he thought he had nowhere to go to to practice his profession ("...hindi niya kayang mawal a si Vicki sa kanya,kasi paano na lang pag nawala si Vicki? Paano siya magtratraabaho, e, wala na siyang puwedeng malilipatan").
Three paragraphs before the end of the article, it says:
"Friends who have been witness to the Hayden-Vicki three-year romance believe him. They say that the man has his warts and all, but he really did seem to love the lady. He actually trusted her with his life's plans, derailing his love of medicine for the celebrity life that the lady mapped out for him and which he ended up embracing..."Yes, Hayden had been unfaithful to Vicki, and that wasn't fair. But I do not think what Vicki did to Hayden was also fair. In fact, it was foul. How could Vicki act as if she owns her boyfriend's condo and have it ransacked by someone else, especially the enemy of her boyfriend?
Can the means justify the end? St. Agustine said no.
Indeed, no one can be with the man or woman he or she distrusts. The good news with Hayden-Vicki saga is that, Vicki Belo is also as untrustworthy as Hayden Kho.
The same with Katrina.
When a person comes to lay bare his heart to you, may that person be a sinner (like your kabit) or saint (an innocent friend), you have the obligation to keep his words secret because those words and the meaning behind them are sacred. You have no right, no matter how hurt you are, to divulge them to any other person for whatever reasons.
Omar Sortijas, Katrina's confidante, is no exeption. Omar had no right to peer into the private property (cellphone) of Hayden. What disturbs me is, he has no qualms of revealing his worse character flaw on national media. In the same article he was quoted:
"Isang time, nasa bahay kami, nandoon kami sa kama (with Katrina)...Nakuha ko cellphone (ni Hayden). Pakialamera kasi ako sa kanila. So pinapakialaman ko 'yong cellphone, 'tapos binabasa ko. Oh, my god, may pinanggalingan siyang bahay ng another girl..."People like Omar Sortijas and Vicki Belo should be in jail for theft. They steal information, and stealing is a crime regardless of the material stolen or the purpose for which it is stolen. As to Katrina, she is nothing but a swindler. The information Hayden divulged was not hers. It was only entrusted to her. As such, she had no right to give it away, like she voluntarily did in her effort to save her reputation.
Hayden maybe unfaithful. Yes. But isn't he just a reflection of the kind of people (Vicki, Katrina, Omar) who surround him?
