Mo Twister slams Mocha Uson for using wrong photo

DJ Mo Twister has slammed Mocha Uson, assistant secretary for social media of the Presidential Communications Operations Office (PCOO), for sharing a fake photo of Philippine Army soldiers on Facebook.

"So this is Mocha Uson in a nutshell. She posted this photo yesterday saying let's pray for our army," said Mo Twister on Instagram.

"One issue lang. The photo isn't our army. You see that little blue flag on each of the soldiers chest? That's the flag of Honduras;"

"These are their soldiers from 2015. Mocha, the Assistant Secretary of the Presidential Communications Operation Office does this REGULARLY;"

"Her and her followers will likely defend this by saying, 'okay, she used a picture to convey the message of prayer so don't find negative in that,' "

"The problem is you're insulting these soldiers, our soldiers, and everyone's intelligence with your fake shit. Mocha, you are journalism kuto;"

"You are also an insult to every hardworking student or aspiring journalist. You took away a job from someone more deserving dahil yung ilong mo puno ng bahid ng tae ni #DU30 @mochauson you read up on Section 4 of RA 6713, dumbass," said Mo Twister now based in the US.

Mo Twister,39, has a podcast show entitled "Good Times With Mo: The Podcast Season 5."

* Uson reacts

On May 30, Uson defended her FB post saying that it was just symbolism when she shared the image of policemen from Honduras.

“I did not say na Philippine Army yan. I did not say that picture was taken from Marawi. It’s a symbol of army praying,” Uson said.

“Ba’t ko ipopost na sa Pilipinas yan e may flag nga ng ibang bansa. Common sense na it is a symbolism," she added.

On May 28, Uson uploaded a photo of kneeling soldiers as they prayed. Its caption read: “Let’s pray for our army. Panalangin din po natin ang mga apamilyang naiwan at nababahala sa kalagayan ng kanilang asawa at tatay.” - ROBERT REQUINTINA
