MANILA (AP) -- Philippine-Korean relations have suddenly gotten warmer.
The Philippines' president, Benigno Aquino III, told reporters Wednesday that, yes, he is dating again. This time it's a South Korean woman who grew up in Manila and works there as a TV show host and radio disc jockey.
Twenty-nine-year-old Grace Lee said on her TV program that "what the president said is true."
President Aquino and Grace Lee met in an event in Cebu last year. Lee was the event’s emcee and President Aquino acknowledged Lee as “gwapa” (beautiful) before he delivered his speech.
Aquino turns 52 next week, and his love life has amused the nation.
Several women had been linked to the President when he came into office, starting off with his former girlfriend, Valenzuela councilor Shalani Soledad, who is now married to Pasig Rep. Roman Romulo; stylist Liz Uy, stock broker Len Lopez, and teacher Bunny Calica.
Last year, he lamented that his love life was like Coke - going from regular to zero.
