Aquino compares his love life to cola

MANILA, Philippines—The bachelor president of the Philippines is lamenting that his love life is like Coke—it’s gone from regular to zero.

Fifty-one-year-old President Benigno Aquino III poked fun at himself while addressing members of the Philippine community in Beijing during his state visit to China. Like a standup comedian, he opened up by broaching one of the most mundane questions people often ask him.

Aquino said Wednesday: “Someone asked me, how is your love life? So I said, it’s like Coca-Cola. … Before, it was regular, then it became light, now it’s zero.”

The audience then burst into laughter.

Since taking office last year, Aquino has broken up with several women, often blaming journalists’ prying eyes for ruining his romances.

    seriously, do we really need to know this? i mean it’s like rubbing salt in an open wound. if you don’t want to discuss your love life (when you have a love life) you don’t make jokes about it. it fuels the fire and it is just plain irritating. i thought he wanted the press to stay out of his personal life? these kinds of quips are what the press wants. what is he doing? kulang na ba sa pansin ang presidente ngayon?

    if he is trying to be humorous he should have stuck with another subject. don’t ask me what subject that is supposed to be, i’m not the one writing his speeches. you just have to bury issues because whenever you bring it up in the end, it just makes you look plain stupid.

    In fairness, p’wedeng isali sa cast ng Bubble Gang si PNoy.

    Kumpleto na ang meryenda. New DOT secretary Mon Jimenez compares the saleability of tourism to Jollibee chickenjoy and PNoy compares himself to Coke. Branding is rolling down in the palace!

    Who would compare the Supreme Court to Victoria Court (remember that ‘shhh’ logo) for being silent on the Arroyo cases?
