Political analyst and GMA Network host Richard Heydarian meanwhile twitted COMELEC’s resolution regarding the exemption of partylist nominees from the one-year ban on political appointments.

Journalist Inday Espina Varona also shared her frustration over the re-appointment of the controversial former PCOO Assistant Secretary.
This just shows the Duterte regime has absolute contempt for the nation’s laws. #LoserHindiPaTaposAngBanMo https://t.co/hfXBNeGtMY

Mocha has been in and out of government. She was first appointed by Pres. Rodrigo Duterte as one of the board members of MTRCB. After her stint at the MTRCB board, she was transferred to the PCOO as assistant secretary. In the May 2019 elections, Mocha ran as a partylist representative but lost.
Here are the sentiments of other netizens regarding Mocha’s re-appointment.
minsan di na nakakatuwa un mga joke ng gobyernong ito.
