MANILA, Philippines - Queen of All Media Kris Aquino on Monday said her brother, President Benigno "Noynoy" Aquino III, is datingstockbroker Len Lopez of Deutsche Bank.

"Kasi kagabi (Sunday night) pinakilala niya na sa amin ang dini-date niya, sa kanyang mga kapatid na babae. I was so impressed. And ito I'm sure hindi magagalit si Noy, ang payat, my God! Talagang kasing payat ni Kim Chiu and very elegant," Kris said during her interview with Ted Failon on radio dzMM show, “Tambalang Failon at Webb.”

The premiere of Kris’s horror film, "Dalaw,” was held Sunday night at the Trinoma mall. The President and his 3 other female siblings graced the star-studded event.

When asked if she was referring to Len Lopez, the President’s youngest sister replied: "Yes this is Len, yes Ted."

Kris made the confirmation despite promising that she would keep her distance from his personal life. But the actress-television host believes that the President wouldn’t get mad even if she spilled the beans.

"I said nice things, di ba? So he'll be happy. And I love him so much. I want Noy to be happy. Kasi kahapon habang nanonood kami ng ‘Dalaw’ nararamdaman ko ang bigat na dinadala niya kasi doon ang time na pumapasok ang text na nangyayari sa Cagayan Valley," Kris said, referring to a fire in Cagayan province that killed at least 15 people.

"Siguro hindi naman [magagalit si Noy] kasi she's not a public person. She works in a private industry. And I think in the spirit of Christmas, baka naman hanggang January ay i-regalo na kay Presidente na huwag na siyang guluhin," she added.

Kris said Lopez did not attend the premiere night of her movie to avoid intrigues.

Asked if the President is happy with his personal life despite all the problems of the country, Kris replied: "Ang bait sa akin kaya ang feeling ko, oo.”

Lopez, a member of the affluent Lopez clan, is said to be the best friend of Luli Arroyo-Bernas, daughter of former president Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.

The Philippine Star first published a photo of Lopez and Noynoy attending a party together early this month, sparking speculations that the 50-year-old bachelor President has already found a new ladylove after his relationship with celebrity stylist Liz Uy did not blossom into a romantic one.

Uy, who is a close friend of Kris, also attended the premiere of "Dalaw."

The President also went steady with Valenzuela City councilor Shalani Soledad, his girlfriend of 2 years. They broke up months after Noynoy won the presidency.
