Pro-Duterte blogger Banat By takes over Mocha Uson's Twitter
MANILA, Philippines — Pro-Duterte blogger Banat By, who doubles as a Facebook page administrator for Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA) Deputy Administrator Mocha Uson, has taken over her Twitter account, netizens observed recently.
The Twitter handle "@MochaUson" was replaced by "@BanatByOfficial" while some old tweets posted by Mocha have since been deleted.
In characteristic Internet fashion, however, receipts were taken to prove the stealthy takeover of Mocha’s account with over 178,000 followers as of writing.
Paano ko nalaman? Naka on ang notifs ko kay Mocha ????????????????

A newly-created account, meanwhile, has already taken over Mocha's old Twitter handle, preventing Banat By from simply reverting to the account’s old name.
