The Philippines' middle-aged President Benigno Aquino said on Sunday he was still hoping to find a wife, saying it would make him a better leader.

Mr Aquino, who turned 52 this month and recently confirmed he was dating a South Korean woman, said he had been looking for a wife for years but he had never found anyone.

'I have been planning this for a long time, since college even. But I just have been unlucky,' he told reporters.

'Given the burdens of this office, if there was someone you could confide in, someone you could talk to, someone who would tell you, 'you are still doing okay', then of course, that would a key to your inspiration,' he said.
