PCOO Asec Mocha Uson Receives Criticisms Over Controversial “Ipederalismo” Dance
The PCOO Assistant Secretary Mocha Uson is receiving criticisms over her controversial “Ipederalismo” dance with blogger Drew Olivar.
Communications Assistant Secretary Mocha Uson and her co-host Drew Olivar are now facing criticisms over a questionable dance endorsing ‘Federalism’.
Olivar performed a dance move while chanting “I-pepe, i-pepe, i-dede, i-dede… ipederalismo!” and gesturing to his crotch and chest during “Good News Game Show” of Mocha Uson.
In Filipino terminologies, “Pepe” means ‘vagina’ while “Dede” means breast.
Some social media users did not like the dance and questioned the capacity of Mocha Uson to raise awareness regarding federalism. There are also officials who are urging Pres. Duterte to fire the PCOO Asec.
The 36-year-old public servant clarified that the dance has nothing to do with the dance number on her Facebook page.
“Ang paggamit at pag-edit po sa ating video na inalis ang konteksto ay malinaw na parte lamang ng kampanya na ilihis ang atensyon ng taumbayan sa mga mahahalagang usapin.
Gaya ng aming sinabi noong Thursday, ang aming game show patungkol sa Pederalismo ay wala pong kinalaman sa draft ng ConCom. Hindi rin po iyon parte ng information drive na kung saan tayo po ay isa sa mga napili na maging kabahagi.
Ang game show po namin, kahit na katuwaan lamang, ay walang intensyon na maliitin ang Pederalismo. Bagkus, ang aming layunin ay hikayatin ang aming manonood na pagusapan pa lalo ang Pederalismo, dahil ito ay isa sa mga pangako ng ating Pangulo.
Samantala, kahit na ang ating mga detractors ay interesado lamang sa paninita sa mga supporters ng Pangulo; kailangan nating bigyang atensyon at wag nating hayaan na tayo ay malihis sa mga mahalagang usapin gaya ng pandaraya noong nakaraang eleksyon, charter change at war on drugs,” Uson wrote on her post.
