Apparently celebrity and presidential sister Kris Aquino believes visiting Thai Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra could be a potential sister-in-law.
The bubbly and irrepressible Kris posted in her Twitter account (@itsmekrisaquino) her admiration for Shinawatra whom she met in Malacañang when the latter paid President Aquino a visit.
Yingluck was in Manila for six hours on Thursday for her first official visit in the country since being elected as Thai Prime Minister in 2011. She is the sister of deposed Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra.
In her Twitter account, Kris said she had just come from a luncheon for Shinawatra.
“She’s tall and slim and attractive. 44 years old, bagay ke PNoy!"(perfect for President Aquino)!"” tweeted @itsmeKris who is TV host and actress.
However, according to news websites BBC, Bloomberg, Guardian and the New York Times, Shinawatra is married to businessman Anusorn Amornchat, with whom she has a son. But other websites call him her common-law husband.
The 51-year-old President Aquino is single.
In the luncheon he hosted for Shinawatra, President Aquino congratulated the Thai leader for “hold(ing) a distinct honor of being the first woman Prime Minister of Thailand.
“Allow me to take the opportunity to personally congratulate you and your party for gaining your people’s mandate in the July general elections in Thailand,” Mr. Aquino said.
“My mother too was the first female president of my country,” the President said, in reference to his late mother, Corazon Aquino.
He then toasted to the “health, happiness and prosperity of His Majesty, the King and the Prime Minister of Thailand.”
Shinawatra also gave a similar toast to President Aquino.
“May I now invite all of you to join me in a toast to a good health and happiness of His Excellency President Benigno Aquino III and to the long-term partnership between the Philippines and Thailand,” she said.
- Many Filipinos quickly reacted to the tweet correcting Kris that
Yingluck has a common-law husband and a son. Most of the tweets were
negative.
"A very undiplomatic thing to say. She's not your (friend) you know,
she's a visiting official. Not the right thing to say," @jeroplane
said.
"Maybe @itsmekrisaquino should know that Yingluck Shinawatra is
happily married. please don't be a homewrecker!" said @JaR_12.
"What have you done???? That's embarrassing for the people of Thailand
and the Philippines!" said @TourismPinas.
"Kris, Mr. Anusorn Amornchat does not approve your pimping of his wife
to your brother Pnoy," said @velezcollege.
"The question is if the PM of Thailand will like your brother?" asked
@LucasBorres.
There were those who supported Kris though, saying that Yingluck is indeed pretty and that it's about time President Aquino finds a suitable wife.
