"He's one of the many aspects in my life right now that's making me happy," she said.

Lee admitted that she feels flattered that the President publicly admitted that he is seeing her, adding that among the qualities she likes about Aquino is that he is "considerate."

She also denied that the President is spending hours talking to her on the phone.

"The very few times that I get to see him with his very busy schedule we have dinner and, of course, you can't have it for 30 minutes," she said. "Nagkukuwentuhan kami, we catch up, that's it."

"And no, we don't have time to talk for three hours on the phone. So many people need him. Things like that, when it comes out, I think people should not believe it," she added.
