(UPDATE) The presidential sister is at it again.
Actress Kris Aquino has played matchmaker again for her brother, bachelor President Benigno "Noynoy" Aquino III, this time with a new prospect: Thailand's Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra.

In her tweet, Kris praised the Thai leader's beauty and noted that she's a good match for her brother.
"She's tall & slim & attractive! 44 yrs old, bagay for PNoy!" Kris said.

"Outside of our robust economic engagement, the Prime Minister and I agreed to further expand our functional cooperation in key areas such as education, combating drug trafficking, and disaster risk reduction and management," said Aquino.

Aquino also thanked Thailand for helping PH during the Sendong tragedy.
