MANILA, Philippines – Controversial doctor Hayden Kho Jr. finally surfaced to rebuke his reported second suicide attempt.
Kho was in a jovial mood when he faced the entertainment press Wednesday.
He refuted rumors that he tried to commit suicide and that he had cuts all over his body.
He also said that contrary to reports he was never confined at the intensive care unit of the Manila Doctors Hospital.
Kho vowed that he would never attempt to end his life again. The doctor tried to commit suicide late last year after his separation from his former girlfriend, Dr. Vicki Belo.
When he was still confined at the Manila Doctors Hospital, Kho admitted that Belo paid him a visit. He said he was grateful to Belo and his closest friends for not judging him prematurely.
Kho admitted that this year has been very difficult for him, especially after the sex video scandal started. He said he is drawing strength from God.
Despite the challenges, Kho remains optimistic that 2010 will be a good year for him. He said he also hopes that "this Christmas will be a happy one."
The celebrity doctor was hospitalized last week due to intestinal flu. He was discharged Tuesday night.
His sudden hospitalization, however, triggered rumors that he again tried to commit suicide after the revokation of his license. -Report from Ginger Conejero, ABS-CBN News
