Grace Lee has denied the rumour on Friday that she allegedly dated President Noynoy Aquino III of the Philippines.
Grace Lee is a 28-year-old Philippines radio and TV personality of Korean descent although grew up in the Philippines and considers herself to be a Filipino.
The rumour was started by DJ Mo Twister, who is currently in the US, via a simple tweet last January 26:
“We are talking about Grace Lee’s date last night with President Aquino. #itsmorefuninthephilippines.”
In an interview with “Balitanghali” on GMA News TV on Friday, the Radio and TV host Lee denied that she started the rumour herself but she did not say that it’s not true.
“Wala pa akong nirerelease na statements and I have never spoken of him [P-Noy] publicly yet,” she said.
Grace Lee did not comment any further and passed the ball on the President’s court.
“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…best thing to do now ay abangan na lang nila [kung] ano ang sasabihin ni President,” Lee added.
Grace Lee first met President Noynoy in June last year during the inauguration of the Korea Electric Power Corp. power plant in Cebu, where she served as host.
P-Noy was quoted by the media describing Lee “Guapa” (meaning beautiful in English).
Is it true or not or a case of more media hype for the sake of media hype, time will tell.
