The decision.
Mocha acknowledged the report that President Rodrigo fired her as PCOO Asec. She branded this as fake news and this “pushed” her to decide to run for Senator in 2019.
“Paano na lang yung ordinaryong tao na nilalapastangan? Kaya dahil po diyan sa paninirang nangyari sa atin, naniniwala ako na paninira yan sa pulitika eh, dahil akala nila ako ay tatakbo… Kaya siguro challenge na sa akin yan na bibigyan ko ng boses ang ordinaryong Pilipino. Kaya tatakbo na ako, oo tatakbo na ako… Hindi ko pa po alam (kung anong position) basta sure na yun.”
Does PRRD know?
Mocha pointed out that she has yet to consult the President about her plans.
“Hindi ko pa po talaga alam, basta sure na tatakbo po tayo kasi nakakapikon na eh. Kailangan kong ipaglaban ang ordinaryong mga tao.”
An announcement.
In her own Facebook account, Mocha denied being fired. She insinuated that this is a move to ruin her name. Then, she went on to announce her 2019 Senatorial run.
“Hindi po totoo na ako ay sinibak. Kaya kong patunayan yan. Ito ay obvious na paninira ng kalaban sa pulitika dahil ang akala nila ay tatakbo ako sa 2019. Dahil diyan AKO AY TATAKBO NA dahil mapalad pa nga ako na nakakasagot ako sa blog ko pero paano ang mga ordinaryong Pilipino na walang paraan sumagot sa mga fake news ng ilang media. Bibigyan ko kayo ng boses. Salamat”
During her resignation announcement, Mocha vowed to level up attacks against Duterte critics.
