Grace Lee dates with Pnoy could lead to the altar?


Television host Grace Lee has been reported to have said that she expected the courting by President Benigno S. Aquino III to lead in the altar.
Ellen Tordesillas of Vera Files made the report entitled ”Grace Lee sees herself marrying PNoy”, which angered the Filipino-Korean GMA Network host, saying she never made the statement.

Lee demanded that the lady journalist apologized to her for having put words into her mouth.
In her Twitter account, Grace said: “All Good times listeners know this is a lie.”
“In a text message to Ellen Tordesillas, author of the report, Lee said, ‘The only points about your article I want to clarify is that I never uttered the words ‘altar’ or anything that might hint of desiring marriage.’
“Lee later said in a phone interview with Tordesillas that the issue about she and the President ending up at the altar was part of the banter between hosts of the program ‘Good Times in the Morning’ which airs on radio station 89.9.
Vera Files,  however, stated it was sticking to its story.
Tordesillas based her statement on an interview of the 29-year—old television host with controversial celebrity show host Mo Twister.
In her column, Tordesillas pointed to the interview of Grace by Mo who is now based in New York due to his “separation” with former girlfriend. The interview was made in the program Good Times in the Morning last February 8.
In the interview,  DJ Mo asked Grace as to how long her much publicized relation with President Aquino.
Grace’s answer: ”The full length.”
Tordesillas made that to mean until they walk down the aisles to the Church altar.
 Tordesillas also stated that Grace herself admitted that her dating the President may end up in the “altar.”
Vera Files quoted the “Chika Minute” host saying, “I’m praying for this.”
 Earlirer, Grace admitted that she was thrilled to meet President Aquino’s family and said she was flattered to hear kind words from the President’s sisters.
“I was nervous, but they made me feel very welcome and comfortable right away. They’re very grounded, humble people and I’m very flattered that they had wonderful words to say about me,” she said.
Grace was recently introduced by the President to his family, and the Aquino siblings, especially Ballsy Cruz, had only kinds words to describe her, said Queen of All Media Kris Aquino in an exclusive “The Buzz” interview.
Kris said, though, that she was not around when the President introduced the television personality, but said she was looking forward to meeting Grace.
Grace, for her part, said she is hoping to meet Kris soon.
Grace, who grew up in South Korea,  described the President as “very sweet, considerate and a true gentleman.”
 She added he is one aspect of her life that makes her happy now.
Although she received barrage of media attention, Grace prefers to keep her relationship with the President private.
“Hopefully, people can accept what we have now and just let us grow this relationship for now. When we’re ready, I’m sure people will find out eventually,” she said.
She also clarified reports that she’s enjoying the attention given to her by the local press.
Grace said she will continue being polite to everyone and hopefully, people won’t try to give meaning on it.
“I’m sure people will say that about me, but as long as my family and the people I love around me believe and know who I am, I can live with myself,” she said.
“I’m in this industry. I’m in this business. So, hindi maiiwasan yun. I try to accommodate and be polite to everyone as much as I can and I hope that my politeness will not be used against me,” Grace added.
She also dismissed reports that the President offered her security to ensure her safety.
“The President never offered me PSG (Presidential Security Group). No one around him offered me security, and first of all, there’s no reason to give me security,” she said.
It was not known if the President dated her on Valentine’s Day,
The President himself had admitted to media that he has been seeing Grace. The Chief Executive, however, did not elaborate, saying he wants his private life to be private.
