Ah, what a fine display of democracy and Pinoy humor!
It all started with a report that claimed Mocha Uson had been appointed “social media consultant” for the Bureau of Customs (BOC).
Many questioned the performer’s qualifications (or lack thereof). She was the lead vocalist of the popular adult-themed group, Mocha Girls.
The BOC immediately denied the report but damage had already been done…. and netizens were determined to have a good time.
#DutertePleaseAppointMe started trending on Twitter.
It allowed netizens to jokingly pitch ideas on who should be joining President Rodrigo Duterte’s Cabinet.
Dora the Explorer, one netizen said, would be good for the Department of Tourism
Gary Valenciano, a performer with the monicker Mr. Pure Energy, would be an ideal Department of Energy secretary.
This guy said he’s perfect as budget secretary because he could stretch PHP300 (about USD7) for 5 days.
Former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, who once tried surfing, would be good for the Philippine Sports Commission, said this guy.
Actress Nanette Inventor would invent wonderful things for the Department of Science and Technology.
Even actor Baron Geisler, known for his temper, wasn’t spared from all the jokes.
Mocha Uson has been a staunch supporter of Duterte long before the Davao mayor declared his candidacy.
She has 3.9 million followers on her Facebook account, where she once posted an exclusive interview with the President himself.
Google her and you will find her popular Facebook page along with photos, which may or may not reveal too much skin.
This woman clearly has many roles… but being BOC’s social media consultant isn’t going to be one.
