Grace Lee

MANILA, Philippines – Korean TV and radio personal Grace Lee, who is currently being romantically linked to President Benigno Aquino III, shared her birthday wish for the country’s chief executive who turns 52 today.

“My birthday wish is may he continue having the kind of love he is receiving from his people. I know it’s very important to him. I know 'yung love na ‘yon is important to him,” Lee said during a press conference on Wednesday to announce her endorsement of cosmetics brand Ever Bilena.

The new endorsement comes just days after it was reported that Lee is the newest celebrity endorser of clothing brand Bench.

According to Lee, she already greeted Aquino, who is visiting the earthquake-hit province of Negros Oriental.

Aquino was accompanied by his sisters Pinky Abellada and Ballsy Cruz, and several Cabinet officials in Guihulngan City, one of the most devastated areas in Negros Oriental.

Aquino landed in Dumaguete City on Wednesday morning and used a chopper to go to the isolated city of Guihulngan, where 29 people were buried in a landslide.

“It’s good that he will do his work without distractions,” Lee said.

No PSG

Meanwhile, Lee denied that she is asking for her own Presidential Security Group (PSG) detail or that Aquino wants her to have one.

"I have never asked for PSG and no PSG have been offered to me by anyone," Lee said.

"The President never offered me PSG and no one around him offered me any type of security. First of all, there's no reason to give me security," she added.

Lee said she is looking forward to meeting the President's youngest sister, Kris Aquino, who had said that she would like to meet the 29-year-old Korean.

Lee also said she has already met Aquino’s sisters, Abellada and Cruz, whom she described as “very nice” and "accommodating.”

"I'm looking forward to meet her also," Lee said of the Queen of All Media.

Lee admitted that she is still adjusting to the intense media attention she is getting after Aquino confirmed last week that he is seeing her.
