President Aquino's youngest sister, actress-host Kris Aquino, was quick to say no when asked if she is considering running for the top post in the future.

"Mahiya naman ako sa bayan!" she said.

The topic was brought up by co-host Boy Abunda during the live episode of "Aquino & Abunda Tonight" on Thursday, after a segment on Sen. Miriam Defensor-Santiago's comment that the country needs a woman president.

Kris also expressed confidence that President Aquino is "sensitive to the needs of women," in response to Santiago's statement that a woman president would best advance feminism in the Philippines.
