Protect your son: you're doing it wrong

Unless you're autistic or live somewhere in the thick forests of Basilan, I bet almost everyone has already seen that shocking video involving a doctor and three different girls. I do not intend to go into the details, I'm sure you guys know more than I do. But here's what I just can't reconcile with my own reasoning: what on earth was Dr. Kho's mom thinking when she gave that interview in TV patrol last night (May 25, 2009)? I was starting to get tired of the issue, but then she started a whole new part for it, and this juicy part would take gargantuan effort for me to ignore it. It's just too funny and disturbing at the same time.

As I watched her on TV, with the emotional effect of closing her eyes while speaking, I deem that she did not quite think over what specific message she wanted to deliver to the public. She kept injecting how Lolit Solis was so evil; and in her evilness, Ms. Solis gave Katrina Halili a script what to say whenever she had an interview. And she even mentioned something about Dr. Kho being under the influence of drugs as he took the video, drugs that were supplied by Ms. Halili herself.

I am not condoning Dr. Kho's actions, the things he did were downright wrong. He even owed up to his mistakes, and apologized publicly for his irrational decisions. Knowing that he already admitted whatever crime was reflected by the sex videos, why in Heaven's name would his mom still throw out such accusations to Ms. Halili and Solis? In my humble opinion, the right thing to do would have been to keep her message simple. "My son is guilty, but his guilt does not define his whole character. He made a mistake and he owed up to it like a man should. Things are really difficult for my son right now, and for me as well. As a mother who feels the pain that her son feels, I beg of you, dear viewers...please do not make our situation harder as it already is." That would have sounded nice, wouldn't it?

But no, she read a verse from the Bible (I read a verse from Psalms...), exposed a Crucifix necklace for the camera ("Ms. Lolit Solis...DASALAN MO TO!), and kept saying "Ayoko na sanang magsalita" but she talked incessantly, eyes closed, for a good 10 to 15 minutes (that's precious airtime thrown away). She wore a yellow sleeveless turtle neck top and loaded her face with a hell lot of makeup (especially her brows - disturbing). How's that for tactic.
