The Mocha Uson Appointment Controversy

She was entertainment dancer in primetime television show.

The campaigned to the presidential bid of Rodrigo Duterte and won.

She blogged every good news of Duterte administration and defend him to the detractors.

As a good gesture of her contribution, she was appointed as member of the board of Movie and Television  Review and Classification Board or MTRCB.

As it’s not yet enough, she was appointed by her president himself as assistant secretary to Presidential Communication Operations Office or PCCO.

She is Margaux ‘Mocha’ Uson.

And now, she is one of the most controversial cabinet members of Duterte administration. Many questioned her qualifications to be appointment in that position. May ranted her in social networking sites like facebook and twitter. Many wrote disappointment to President Duterte and posted that in blog and in broadsheet. They said she is not qualified.

But she only needs one qualification for that position—that is the trust and confidence of the President of the Philippines. That matter and so the President defended her. The president said its payback to the hardship and contribution of Mocha who helped him to win the race. When he has nothing, there was this individual who trusted him and helped him in the campaign—and so he win.

And so its time to payback. The good position in Malacanang—being one of the mouth piece of the President.

So now, the ally of the president which he appointed also defended Mocha.

But they cannot blame the bashers and rants and disappointments. Of course, she was as sexy as ever and every time she defends the president with so many issues surrounding him, the people will always question her credibility and ability. There are more qualified people who help the president that should be appointed aside from her.

But of course, this is still politics. We are govern with politician who cannot hold a position without the support of the people who believe in his leadership and promises.###
