Philippines' bachelor president dating South Korean TV actress
Feb 1, 2012, 5:23 GMT
Manila - The Philippines' bachelor president on Wednesday admitted he was dating a South Korean television actress, after days of rumours in the local media.
Speculation about the love life of President Benigno Aquino III, who turns 52 on February 8, has been a favourite topic in the media and among the public since he was elected in 2010.
'We're seeing each other,' he told reporters when asked about his reported date with 30-year-old Grace Lee.
But Aquino, who has broken up with a number of women since he became president, declined to give more information about his relationship with Lee and pleaded for privacy.
Last year, Aquino lamented that his love life had gone from being a 'Coke regular' to a 'Coke Zero' amid the prying eyes of the media.
