WATCH: Hayden Kho shares favorite moments with daughter

MANILA – Hayden Kho is one proud father as he opened up about his favorite moments with Scarlet Snow, his daughter with fellow celebrity doctor Vicki Belo.

In an interview with SmartParenting.com.ph, Kho said he is always involved in Scarlet Snow’s various activities for the week – reading class every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, swimming class every Wednesday, gymnastics every Friday, and music class every Saturday.

“I always try to catch her early in the morning, paggising na paggising. That’s her best mood, ‘pag bagong gising siya. We read books together. We’re really trying to make her love books,” he said.

“Bathing time is one of our favorites. But in all her activities, I’m always involved,” he added, noting that he still accompanies his daughter in the pool even if he does not know how to swim.

But out of all his moments with Scarlet Snow, Kho said putting her to sleep is his favorite moment: “My favorite is ‘yung pagpapatulog. Whenever she falls asleep on my shoulders, champion!”

“Ang hirap kaya! Ang hirap magpatulog ng baby. ‘Pag nakatulog ‘yan [sa ‘yo] parang you want to celebrate. You want to shout. Kaso tulog,” he said in jest.



In another video uploaded by SmartParenting.com.ph, Kho recalled the day Scarlet Snow was born.

He said his experience as an intern at a hospital in Manila helped him prepare for the arrival of his baby with Belo which was born through surrogacy.

Hayden opens up on getting license back

MANILA – For the first time since the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) returned his medical license, Hayden Kho finally broke his silence to share his feelings now that he’s allowed to practice medicine again.

In an interview with “The Buzz” on Sunday, Kho admitted there was a point in his life when he already gave up on getting back his license.

“In 2009, when they told me ‘You can no longer practice as a doctor,’ it really broke my heart. I thought that was permanent. I was not really expecting anymore,” he said.

That’s why the PRC’s decision came as a surprise to him, Kho said, especially since he was out of the country when the commission rendered its decision.

Fresh from his trip abroad where he took classes on Apologetics, Kho said he has not even read yet the documents from the PRC reinstating him as a doctor.

“Honestly I don’t know how it works. In fact, I haven’t even seen the papers that were sent to my parents’ house. I just arrived so hindi ko pa nakikita. Pinadala lang ng mom ko 'yung pictures,” he said.

Kho also clarified reports saying that getting back his license was the reason behind his decision to become a Christian.

“I did not do that so that I could gain my medical license back," he said about his faith. "Why did I do what I did? The answer to that is I wanted to seek the Lord and in my experience, when I go to those places, in India, the poorest of the poor, when I helped out, I feel God more in my life. The beautiful thing about this is God does want to let his children know who he is,” he said.

After everything that he has been through, Kho said he is grateful to have his mother beside him.

“I love you mommy. Those seven years were very tough for me. Maraming beses kami nag-away ng mom ko. Ngayon ko lang talaga naiintindihan 'yung heart ng isang mom. She’s been very very patient with me. We fought many times but the love is still there. Ngayon ko lang naiintindihan 'yung love,” he said.

Asked about the most important lesson he learned from this ordeal, Kho said: “We all long for love. Doon sa mga tao na nagkamali before, and everyone abandoned you, I have been through that place. If you need someone to love you, if you need a hand that will hold you and they are not there, always remember tha there’s a heavenly Father who wants to put his arms around you.”

Vicki, Hayden 'unofficially' together again

MANILA, Philippines – Celebrity doctor Vicki Belo and former boyfriend, doctor-turned-actor Hayden Kho are “unofficially” together again, according to a report published on Sunday.

In an interview with Kapamilya talent Bianca Gonzalez for her column in the Philippine Star, Belo also said she “sincerely” loves Kho.

“I don’t know if we’ll be together but I know that I really love him sincerely,” Belo told Gonzalez. “Now he’s so strong. If I left his life today, he would be really okay.”

The controversial couple split up in February last year amid rumors of an alleged romance between Kho and former actress Nancy Castiliogne, who were reportedly seen kissing at a bar in Taguig.

At the time Belo, in a statement, said she was letting Kho go, so he won't have to "hide" his romance with Castiglione.

Castiglione, who is married and with children of her own, at the time, vehemently denied any involvement with Kho.

But early this year, Belo and Kho have been seen together in public several times.

In the interview, Belo didn’t mention Castiliogne but discussed another controversy involving Kho – the video sex scandal involving actress Katrina Halili in 2009.

Asked how she got over the scandal, Belo said: “I don’t know! I think because he told me the truth and he told me ahead of everyone. I think because I understand how it happened and why it happened.”

“But what has changed is it’s not anymore ‘Oh, he’s so wonderful and good.’ Now I get it, it (cheating) is gonna happen. And so far it’s been very light. …I haven’t forgiven him to the level that ‘I’m so in love with you and I’m gonna trust you again.’ It’s more like, ‘I’m watching you,’” Belo explained.

Belo also recalled Kho’s suicide attempt after the video scandal. “I thought he was gonna die, I was praying so hard,” she said.

“I actually feel guilty. When I met Hayden he was such a nerd. We started to go out and it was very quiet, then it came out and became so controversial. I found it unfair,” she added.

Belo, 57, also defended Kho, saying the 32-year-old Kho isn’t merely her “boytoy.”

“For me Hayden wasn’t pipitsugin! At 25, he was a doctor, was Mr. UST, varsity basketball, model; then he goes into my world and he’s the ‘boytoy’ of Vicki Belo. Teka muna, why are you looking at him like that?” she told Gonzalez.

What happened when Hayden met Kris Lawrence

MANILA – Former doctor-turned-actor Hayden Kho feels comforted that some of the people whom he had altercations in the past have already moved on.

In an interview with ABS-CBN News on Thursday, Kho related one instance where he and singer Kris Lawrence unintentionally crossed paths.

Lawrence is the partner of actress Katrina Halili, who was seen in one of Kho’s controversial sex videos.

“That was last November or December pa. When I saw him, ang una kong naisip was kung anong gagawin niya kasi siya nasa stage, ako nasa judges’ table. Kris was gentleman enough to forego muna whatever he feels -- I’m sure it wasn’t something positive towards me -- and give the crowd a good show,” Kho said.

Lawrence told entertainment website Pep.ph on Monday that he really wanted to hurt Kho when he saw him but he just decided to hold back and shake his hand.

“Parang nagblangko ang isip ko. ‘Am I going to shake the hand of this man?’ Naramdaman ko 'yung galit, gusto ko siyang sapakin. Pero siyempre, I was there as a professional person, so I shook his hands,” Lawrence said.

The singer added that he’s now living a great life and there’s no need to dwell in the past anymore.

“Siguro kung dati, I’ll start a fight. Pero sa ngayon, my life is so great. The little girl [Katrence] is such a reward for all the hardships and all. Huwag na nating sirain pa. Let’s all just be positive,” he said.

Kho said if there is one thing common between him and Lawrence, it’s their choice to leave the negative things in the past and just move on.

“He is clearly referring to the past and no one [lives there anymore]. We leave it there. Yun ang maganda sa nangyayari ngayon, tahimik lahat. Kung mayroon man siyang nasabi sa interview, he was clearly referring to the past,” he said.

“I’m very happy or comforted na lahat ay nakakpag-move on. I’m also happy na yung career nila nagbu-bloom and may gifts sa kanila si God na hindi nila ipagpapalit sa kahit ano. For example, sa case nila Kris, that would be Katrence,” he added.

Kho said it makes him proud that the person he once was is now back.

“I think the Hayden that people met before wasn’t really the Hayden I know as a child. Because I do remember myself as a child na tahimik, mahilig lang mag-aral, may sariling mundo. I think the person that the public met during that crazy years was a reckless Hayden. I think I’m back to the healthy me, I’m back to my path,” he explained.
