JEERS TO the Manila Times for a front-page report on President Benigno Aquino III’s love life—or lack of it. Not only was there really no story; it didn’t even cite any source.
In a May 10 article “Fall from Grace: Chinese dating Aquino’s girl?”, the Times reported that there was a “rumor” that Aquino spent a day in office alone and looked “very sad.” The paper cited an online report with an unnamed source. The President was allegedly brokenhearted upon knowing that Korean TV host Grace Lee, who was earlier reported dating Aquino, was dating a Chinese businessman.
The report went on to say that “If true, some may see this as another–and much more personal–Chinese intrusion amid the ongoing standoff between Manila and Beijing over the Panatag (Scarborough) Shoal.”
