Yeah, the Kho thing. The senators are being OA. It is not a requirement for doctors to be bastions of morality; heck they don't even have to follow their own advice such as not smoking. I would personally love to have all doctors who smoke have their licenses revoked and their degrees withdrawn.

The only clause which can possibly be related to Kho's alleged despicable act (please tell me if he did shoot those videos without consent) would be the need for doctors to be "gentlemen" and follow the law. Which is really weak because there are so many doctors who don't follow the law and exhibit un-"gentleman"-like behavior such as not letting women sit down.

And before we start passing judgement, we need to know some things. Who shot the video? Do the participants know of the existence of the videos prior to its leak? Who spread the videos?

Oh and that joke about the Philippines. Bong stop being stupid. 30 Rock has been showing nation and race jokes since its inception and nobody is hurt. We know it is all in good fun and they insult everyone.

The code of ethics of medical doctors in the Philippines is so gender INsensitive. Acting like gentlemen? The Wife instead of spouse? What all doctors are MALE now? God! This is so BS. (Disclaimer: I've only seen this copy. Maybe there is a newer more gender-sensitive version. Still, there'd have been tons of female, gay, lesbian and transgender doctors who were made to pledge on this code.)

I learned something. I can file a case and have the licenses of those doctors (MDs, NDs are not doctors despite how they want the people to believe) advertising all these miracle cures. Yes! I just have to find the money and maybe record their broadcasts. And Dr Willie Ong has been unethical by appearing in an ad for a food supplement (that doesn't work).
