Beauty queen Bianca Manalo says PNoy took her out to dinner, with chaperone by: Patricia Denise Chiu/ KG/HS, GMA News

n the midst of a hectic campaign season, President Aquino managed to squeeze in a dinner date, if the datee is to be believed.

 

Former Binibining Pilipinas-Universe 2009 Bianca Manalo said in a Pep.ph article that she had dinner with the President, and they were chaperoned by her sister.

 

“Yeah, na-meet ko po si Mr. President,” Manalo said. “Nakipag-dinner po kami with him, [and] my sister was with me."

PNoy has not confirmed the report, and the Palace customarily will not comment on the private life of the President.

 

While Manalo has since denied that the country’s most powerful man is officially courting her, her tweets may provide some clues to the 26-year-old former flight attendant’s desires.

 

“Sana ay ikaw na nga..” she tweeted on Friday. 

 

A few moments later, she posted that she wanted to be whisked away to the beach. 

 

“Take me away. let's go to the beach.. #balesin #whereverbastabeach” 

 

 

Incidentally, in speeches at campaign sorties on the same day, Aquino mentioned beaches, and how he hasn’t been to one in a while owing to his busy schedule.

At 5’11,’’ Manalo is just an inch taller than Aquino, who stands at 5’10.’’

 

The country’s first bachelor president, Aquino has dated several women but, according to him, none have been able to stand his rigorous schedule.

 

Aquino last dated Korean TV personality Grace Lee, but the two have since gone their separate ways. 

 

The president's high profile dates have included celebrity stylist Liz Uy, stockbroker Len Lopez, and Valenzuela City councilor Shalani Soledad, his girlfriend during the months leading up to the election.
