Kho was the focus of public controversy in 2009, involving his alleged participation in a sex scandal that garnered widespread attention and became a subject of national interest. As a result, criminal and civil cases were filed against him by one of the involved parties, Filipina actress Katrina Halili, with whom he had partnered on Celebrity Duets. This caused him to face the Senate for a public trial on national television, affecting his show business career.^[8]
