- PCOO Asec. Mocha Uson created a Twitter poll that backfired to her.
- VP Robredo topped Mocha Uson’s poll on who netizens think should be the next DSWD Secretary.
- Mocha Uson blamed critics of the administration over the failed Twitter poll.
After being stunned by her own poll, Presidential Communications Operations Office Assistant Secretary Margaux Mocha Uson finds fault on the critics of the administration for the results.
In her Facebook post, Uson put the blame on the “dilawans” regarding the outcome of her poll for the next DSWD Secretary. While saying she believed in democracy and that the result should be accepted , Mocha did not agree with the results and found a way to point fingers to critics of the administration.
Mocha said, the “dilawans” are very organized and that they will do anything to throw shades at this administration. She even claimed that the result was brought about by trolls and fake accounts.
“Ang resulta na ito ay nagpapatunay lamang ng ang mga dilawan ay organisado. Doon mo talaga malalaman na united ang mga dilawan upang labanan at idiscredit ang ating pamahalaan,” she said.
Mocha on Wednesday, August 17 conducted a Twitter poll asking her followers to vote who they want to be the next DSWD Secretary.
With the aim of possibly shaming the Vice President, knowing how her followers regarded the VP, she included VP Robredo in the choices along with DSWD Usec. Loraine Badoy and former Rep. Nikki Teodoro. But to Mocha’s surprise, the poll went out of her way and resulted in VP Robredo leading the race.
This did not sit well with Mocha and her followers. Thus, after the poll backfired at her, Uson immediately took to social media again to make excuses and put the blame to the other side.
Here’s Mocha Uson’s full statement regarding her Twitter poll result.
“WAKE UP DDS
Eto po ang partial result ng poll na atin pong ginawa sa Twitter kung sino ang gusto ninyong maging DWSD Secretary. Meron pong mga DDS na nag message sa akin na burahin ang poll dahil daw nanalo si LENI. Eto lamang po ang aking sagot dito. Una sa lahat tayo ay nasa bansang demokrasya at lagi po yan pinauulit ulit ni Tatay D. Hindi man natin gusto ang resulta ngunit kung ito ang lumabas tanggapin natin at hindi ibig sabihin na ito ay ating sang ayunan. Ang resulta na ito ay nagpapatunay lamang ng ang mga dilawan ay organisado. Noong unang mga oras ng paglabas ng Poll hindi po nangunguna si Leni. Ngunit makalipas ang ilang oras bigla-bigla itong tumaas at ni-retweet ng mga poser accounts. Hindi ko po sinasabi na ang entire poll ay binoto ng mga fake accounts ni Leni pero ito ay sabay sabay ni-retweet ng mga fake accounts at ito naman ay ni-replayan ng mga followers nito. Ganito po sila ka-organize sa Twitter. Doon mo talaga malalaman na united ang mga dilawan upang labanan at idiscredit ang ating pamahalaan. Habang tayong ilang DDS ay patuloy na nag-aaway sa mga maliliit na bagay. Abangan po ang ating article sa Philippine Star sa Tuesday at dito natin ihahayag ang damdamin patungkol sa tuloy tuloy na away ng mga DDS dito sa Social Media maging mga kababayan natin sa ibang bansa. Nakakadismaya pero kailangang malaman na at magising na ang mga DDS patungkol dito. Dahil kung hindi tayo ay matatalo sa laban para sa tunay na pagbabago na ating hinahangad.”
