When entertainment personalities are involved in sex scandals, it would not necessarily destroy their careers or reputation since a lot of actors and actresses are known for their sex adventures.

However, when the celebrity with a sex scandal is a news man, a news executive to boot, the fellow's credibility may be under question. That is what appears to have happened to Filipino news executive Paolo Bediones who went on indefinite leave as anchor of TV 5's Aksyon Tonite evening newscast after not one, but two sex videos became viral in the Internet.

Bediones, also a model, host and the grandnephew of former Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos, posted the following update on his Instagram account on Wednesday: "Some of the hardest and most painful decisions in life actually free us from living life in fear. Have a blessed Wednesday everyone."

He made the post after he went on indefinite leave from the evening news, although reports as conflicting as some said he resigned.

Initially, Bediones went on with the newscast even after the first video showing him having sex with a female partner became viral on the Internet. His mother network, ABC 5, even said it will continue to support Bediones, saying the video was a "purely personal and private matter" and it respects the privacy of the station's employees.

However, just when the buzz about the video was slowing down, a second video emerged, showing longer sex scenes between Bediones and his unidentified partner. Reports said it is actually Part I of the first video.

Bediones has sought the help of the Philippine National Bureau of Investigation in identifying who uploaded the video on social media sites.

Despite his quitting newscasting, Bediones will remain host of a Public Affairs programme titled Demolisyon, while his co-anchor in the newscast, will be the sole evening newscaster in the meantime. On his Thursday Instagram post, Bediones is shown standing at a bus terminal, shooting for an episode of his remaining TV show that would feature safety travel tips as semester break and the All Soul's Day holiday approaches.

There are reports that there are Parts 4 and 5 of the sex video scandal.
