“It’s discouraging to be a good citizen when the elected officials that implement the law fail to follow the constitution. #AkoLangTo (facepalm icon),” he tweeted.

Mocha has been in and out of government. She was first appointed by Pres. Rodrigo Duterte as one of the board members of MTRCB. After her stint at the MTRCB board, she was transferred to the PCOO as assistant secretary. In the May 2019 elections, Mocha ran as a partylist representative but lost.
Here are the sentiments of other netizens regarding Mocha’s re-appointment.
minsan di na nakakatuwa un mga joke ng gobyernong ito.
