President Aquino dating tv host Grace Lee


The bachelor Philippine president is dating again.
This time, President Benigno S. Aquino III’s date is Filipino-Korean Grace Lee, a television host on GMA Network.
Report on the date spread like wildfire over social networking site Twitter.
Controversial DJ Mo Twister, made the revelation in his Twitter account.

DJ Mo, who was forced to leave for the United States due to a controversy surrounding his relationship with erstwhile actress-girlfriend  also reported the date in his radio program Good Times.
Grace Lee put to task the radio host for spreading the report, saying the privacy of the President should be respected.
She denied on television that she was the one of who spread the news about her date with the bachelor president.
Lee made the denial following a newspaper banner story claiming that shed had been “telling her colleagues that Aquino, a 51-year-old bachelor, is her textmate, and that the President tries to visit her if he has time.”
Lee refuted the story via Twitter Jan. 27.
“@PhilstarNews I never said we dated. Nor did I say we are text mates. Nor that he comes to visit me,” she posted.
This was followed by, “@PhilstarNews and I don’t speak cebuano!!”
 ”@PhilstarNews one more thing, I’m 29, not 28… How can you guys publish an article on the front page with so much wrong information?”
She then admonished Mo Twister via the same platform.
“@djmotwister look what you did!!!!” she posted.
She later added, “@djmotwister you owe me!! Wait until I visit you in NY!!!”
Presidential Spokesman Edwin Lacierda said Malacanang would not comment on matters concerning the President’s private life.
“We do not comment on private matters of the President. So we cannot comment on that. You can ask me every time, but you know our position on that matter,” Lacierda said when asked on the issue.
Lee is the entertainment news presenter for noontime newscast “Balitanghali” on GMA News TV Channel 11.
A Bulletin report by Madel Sabater stated that DJ Mo Twister wrote in his Twitter account that he was able to make Grace Lee squeal on her date with the Chief Executive in his radio program Good Times.
“We are talking about Grace Lee’s date last night with President Aquino,” Mo Twister said in his Twitter account.
The comely Grace Lee was the emcee during an event attended by the President in Cebu last year, during which President Aquino acknowledged Lee as “guapa” (beautiful) before he delivered his speech.
Lee’s alleged date with the President has brought mixed reactions from Twitter users, Madel Sabater reported.
For Eric Valenzuela (elv313), he is cheering for Grace Lee to become the country’s First Lady while Twitter user “pinoyradiofan” thinks that the President is prioritizing the TV host over the issue of pirated DVDs said to be bought by Presidential Political Adviser Ronald Llamas earlier this week.
“Tanungin ko muna si Llamas. …Pasensya na, ’di po ito ang #1 priority ko’ because number 1 priority right now is Grace Lee!” (I will ask Llamas first… Sorry because it is not my number one priority. My number one priority right now is Grace Lee!),” said pinoyradiofan in his Twitter account.
In an interview with “Balitanghali” on GMA Network Channel 11,  Lee denied that she started the rumor herself.
‘Wala pa akong nirerelease na statements and I have never spoken of him [the president] publicly yet,” said she.
The television and radio personality urged people to be discerning of what is being reported about her. 
“Huwag po muna kayong maniwala sa lahat ng nababasa ninyo lalo na ‘pag ang article na ‘yun ang sinasabi ay si Grace Lee ang nagsabi or according to her,” she said.
Lee added: “You know, I have the highest respects for the President and I respect his privacy. I leave it up to him to speak on the matter.”
“[The] best thing to do now ay abangan na lang nila [kung] ano ang sasabihin ni President,” she added.
