MANILA, Philippines\u2014 The Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) appointed blogger Mocha Uson as a board member, confirmed by Executive Secretary Salvador Medialdea on Thursday, January 5.<\/p>\n

In an exclusive interview on GMA News Online with MTRCB chairperson Toto Villareal, he said that they already have Mocha\u2019s appointment letter signed by President Duterte.<\/p>\n

“The MTRCB received recently a copy of Ms. Uson’s appointment letter signed by the President; but she has yet to assume office in the agency,” Villareal said.<\/p>\n

When Presidential Communications Secretary Martin Andanar asked about Mocha\u2019s qualifications being a board member, he said, “Why not? What makes her not qualified?”<\/p>\n

“Mocha is an artist. She is one the biggest artists that we have in the country. She’s been in the show business world for more than a decade. She’s one of the biggest bloggers that we have in the Philippines, very influential,” he said.<\/p>\n

“If she has been appointed already, I don’t see any reason why she shouldn’t be appointed,”<\/p>\n

Presidential Spokesman Ernesto said that Mocha Uson\u2019s term as MTRCB board member is until September 2017.<\/p>\n

Uson is a lead singer, dancer and a known supporter of Philippine President Duterte. She also became a trend in social media by her controversial blogs online.<\/p>\n

Recently, Mocha Uson was assigned as Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF) Ambassador.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
