LOOK: Kris Aquino with Mexican president Nieto, daughter at state dinner
As the preferred company for Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto in his state visit in the Philippines, actress-host Kris Aquino was at the leader's side at the state dinner held in his honor.
Kris, the youngest sister of President Benigno Aquino III, posted a photo with the two state leaders taken during the dinner.
She said it was her brother who instructed their photographer "where to position himself."
"I asked President Peña Nieto for a picture and PNoy told him, 'Instagram,'" Kris said in her post.

In her previous posts featuring the President, Kris has often included this remark from her brother, who always noted that photos with him would make it on the popular photo-sharing site.
Kris also posted a selfie with one of Nieto's daughters, Paulina, who accompanied the Mexican president in the trip.

Since President Aquino is a bachelor, his sisters -- Ballsy Aquino, Pinky Abellada, Viel Dee, and Kris -- take over the tasks normally undertaken by the first lady in welcoming visiting world leaders and their families. - Rose-An Jessica Dioquino/ALG, GMA News
