(SPOT.ph) Communications Assistant Secretary Mocha Uson has been in the limelight the whole year, but it seems she has the capacity to surprise the Filipino nation even further. Senator Mocha Uson in 2018, anyone?
Partido Demokratiko Pilipino-Lakas ng Bayan (PDP-Laban) Secretary General and House Speaker Pantaleon Alvarez made the announcement on Friday, November 17, according to a CNN Philippines report. He said Uson as well as Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque are on the party's list of candidates for the Senate.
As mentioned as well in the report, Uson has been under fire on numerous occasions for sharing fake news, outdated stories and inaccurate photos on her Facebook page. It comes as no surprise that there have been strong reactions from people upon learning the news.
Our collective agenda should be to stop people like Mocha Uson from becoming senator

Who agrees?
PDP-Laban, if they have any decency left, will not let Mocha Uson run for Senator knowing that it takes more than a substantial social media following to deserve a seat. This is an insult to democracy and a mockery of the intelligence of the Filipino voters. #NoToMocha2019

Well, that's one thing to agree on.

Aalis ka na ng bansa?
No.
The more reasons why you have to exercise that right to vote and convince others to register to vote. I repeat, we deserve the best people to legislate and enact laws to our benefit and for our future.
Your vote matters!

So from 1 to Mocha Uson gaano ka ka-confident?
Maybe around 5?
With Justin Trudeau grabbing a meal at Jollibee, Bong Go's selfies becoming a meme, and an MRT car getting decoupled, this week proves that just about anything is possible—just like Mocha running for senator.
