MANILA, Philippines — Celebrities have mixed feelings on the recent resignation of controversial blogger and sexy star Mocha Uson from her post as Assistant Secretary of the Presidential Communications Operations Office (PCOO).
Mocha said her resignation is a sacrifice because she claimed that some lawmakers are delaying the deliberation of the PCOO budget because of her.
Nonetheless, Mocha vowed that her resignation was not the end and even hinted that she will run in the senate or congress.
“Dadalhin ko ang laban sa Senado at Kongreso. Hindi ito katapusan ng laban. Umpisa pa lamang po ito,” she said.
Actress Aiko Melendez, through her Facebook account, said that Mocha would have gained her respect if she resigned for the right reasons.
“But running for a public post and seeking revenge by being elected is a stupid statement. You run because You want to help the less fortunate ones. You run because you want to be a servant to the public! And you don’t run for revenge. Don’t use the people for any of your agenda. Again I don’t hate Mocha i just don’t like what she is doing,” the actress said.
“One class act would be is to resign, be humble and admit all the humiliation You caused our Government. Apologize to the PWD for mocking them. Then if that happens maybe i can reconsider and have you in my list for senator,” she added.
In another post, Aiko said having millions of followers on Facebook does not give someone a license for public office.
“Having 5m followers in Facebook doesn’t give you a license to run for public office. Otherwise ang dami na naten sa FB ang elected officials now. Di naman bumoboto ang lahat sa Facebook. So don’t make that as a basis to run for any position. #Resign #Respect,” she said.
Meanwhile, actress Agot Isidro shared a news report from The Philippine Star that said: "Assistant Secretary Mocha Uson: I will make the sacrifice. I've made the decision to resign"
Dearie, we made the ultimate sacrifice while you were in office.

In a question and answer portion on his Facebook account, Ogie Diaz answered a question if he will vote for Mocha once she decided to run.
