MALACANANG has not received information on whether Communications Assistant Secretary Mocha Uson has resigned from her post following a string of controversies, most recent of which was a viral video on federalism.

“Wala po akong impormasyon na nakakalap tungkol diyan,” Communications Secretary Martin Andanar told reporters late Monday.

Earlier on the same day, Presidential Spokesman Harry Roque said that he has not received information on the matter, adding that the Presidential Communications Operations Office (PCOO) was different from the Office of the Presidential Spokesperson.





In a hearing on the P1.41-billion budget of the PCOO at the House of Representatives last week, Philippine Information Agency (PIA) Director General Harold Clavite asked Uson to resign after she failed to attend the meeting.

As of posting time, Uson has not issued any statement on her blog and official PCOO homepage to clarify the issue.

Uson is in New York as a member of the Philippine delegation to the 73rd United Nations General Assembly. MARK LESTER CRUZET
