PNoy mum on V-Day plans with Grace Lee

The lips of President Benigno Aquino III  are sealed on how he plans to spend Valentine’s Day with Philippine-based Korean TV personality, Grace Lee, whom he has been "dating" of late.

“Pwede bang abangan na lang natin kung may mangyayari do’n o wala? Kesa magplano na baka wala. Oh ‘eh ‘di Happy Valentine’s na sa inyong lahat,” said the president in a taped interview aired on “24 Oras,” Feb. 6.

Asked about his birthday plans tomorrow, Feb. 8, PNoy said that these are “hindi masyadong importante lalo on a personal basis.” He wishes, though, that "mabawasan ‘yung concerns.”

Lee, on the other hand, said that the president is quite sensitive over the outpour of attention that she’s getting following his admission. She revealed that he even graciously offered to provide a security detail for her, something but she politely declined, saying she can take care of herself.

Asked if it's tough to have a high-profile suitor, Lee joked, “’yun nga ‘eh medyo nahirapan ako---hindi joke,” adding, ”but, yeah, I have to be more conscious in taking his time.”

Although she’s been part of the entertainment industry for some years now, Lee is still surprised by the hullabaloo her dating PNoy has caused. Even reporters and photographers of international wire agencies have been tailing her the past few days.

“I’m pretty surprised because I didn‘t think that they were gonna pick it up this fast and I didn’t know that it was gonna make such a big impact,” said she in a taped interview with “TV Patrol” aired Monday.

Her friend and radio co-host, DJ Mojo Jojo, gave a friendly advice now that the whole nation is all eyes on her and the president.

“I was telling Grace be careful kasi ‘yung next typhoon, ‘yung next earthquake, ‘yung next problema, you might be blamed kasi they’re gonna say, ‘Oh, instead of PNoy doing his work, he’s having drinks with Grace Lee.’

“You just got to be prepared because alam mo ang industriyang ito, they love making chismis out of nothing,” Mojo said.

Perhaps a tad too late now, Lee hopes that she and the President be given the chance to privately “grow this relationship."

“Privacy sana...a little bit of it so that the president and I could enjoy as we develop what we have now,” Lee said.
