By Argyll Cyrus Geducos President Duterte's top aide confirmed that the Chief Executive has already received the resignation of Presidential Communications Operations Office (PCOO) Assistant Secretary Mocha Uson Wednesday. President Rodrigo Duterte (left) and PCOO Asec. Mocha Uson (MANILA BULLETIN) Special Assistant to the President Christopher Go made the confirmation after Uson announced her resignation, which she referred to as a "sacrifice," during the Senate's deliberation on the PCOO's proposed budget for 2019. "Tanggap na po. Antayin na lang formal acceptance (The resignation was accepted, let's just wait for it to be formally accepted)," he said in a text message to Malacañang reporters. In an interview over Super Radyo DZBB, Go thanked Uson for her service to Duterte's government and to the people. "Nirerespeto po namin ang kanyang pagre-resign at nagpapasalamat rin kami kay Asec. Mocha sa kanyang naging serbisyo po sa gobyernong Duterte. Naging good ally po siya (We respect her decision to resign and we thank Asec. Mocha for her service to the government. She has been a good ally)," he added. Uson's resignation came after the hearing on PCOO's budget in the House of Representatives was deferred due to her absence. In a statement during the budget hearing in the Senate Wednesday morning, Uson said that she knows her absence was not the reason for the congressmen to put PCOO's budget on hold. Before leaving the budget hearing, Uson said that she would sacrifice by resigning so the PCOO can have its budget finally approved. Uson's resignation was long called for by her critics, especially when the video of fellow Duterte supporter Drew Olivar making a lewd dance about federalism went viral. Uson again made news when yet another video of Olivar, this time doing a comical version of the sign language, went viral. Earlier, even President Duterte admitted that Uson had some excesses, saying she had gone too far at times, but said that he gives importance to everyone's freedom of speech. Prepare for Mocha Meanwhile, Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque said that Uson's ciics should now watch out for one of Duterte's staunchest supporters. "I wish her the best. I will miss her and, but she did make it clear na ipagpapatuloy niya ang (that she will still pursue her) advocacy," he said in an interview in Malacañang. "Lagot po silang lahat kay Mocha Uson (They should now watch out for Mocha Uson)," he added Roque also said that Uson is a force to reckon with because of her social media influence. "You cannot deny that Asec Uson is a celebrity on the Internet---Facebook. She was a messenger to many of the President’s supporters," he said.
