MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles) – The biggest news coming out of the Office of the President in a long time was that NoyNoy Aquino had a date with Pia Wurtzbach just before the 2015 Miss Philippines Beauty Pageant finals held a few weeks ago.

President Aquino, a bachelor, has been frequently dodged with media questions about his love life, which, in effect amounts to zero, nada, zilch.

Wurtzbach, who ended up winning the Miss Philippines Universe crown, said in a post-pageant TV interview with Aquino’s sister, Kris, that she and the president are in communication. “He’s fun to talk to.”

(In that same interview, Kris promised Wurtzbach that she will be a good sister-in-law)

But did the couple really go on a date that night?

Not so, according to a close friend of Aquino.

Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) director-general Joel Villanueva, said Aquino and Wurtzbach were in a group date before the Binibining Pilipinas pageant night.

“I would say it’s a group date because it was an event eh so, magkakasama kami, (we were all together), ” Villanueva told reporters on the sidelines of a TESDA event.

So, let’s put a stop to the rumor mill.  It was a threesome!
