#MochaUsonIsOverParty: The Suspension of Mocha Uson's Twitter Account

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Coffee Ad: How do you like your mocha?

Me: SUSPENDED!

STOP THE LIES!

Twitter dragged the hell out of Mocha and her ill-informed legion earlier. Well-deserved!
Hey Twitter! Why would you suspend Mocha Uson's account? Where would I get my dose of fake news and Duterte fan-fiction?

But we may be too late for the party as she might just get it activated again soon...and by the time this article comes out, Twitter must have activated it again.

Mocha Uson can be viewed as a symptom of our country's dearth of critical thinking. She is poisonous. Queen of fake news. Leader of red minions.
See, as expected... water will always seek its own level... dito sa twitter, may brain meter. di siya umabot sa quota. She may have mastered and hijacked Facebook but Twitter is a different battleground that one misinformation cannot win easily.

Twitter has been cracking down on terrorists and hate speech lately. Good job, Twitter! Facebook should follow soon. On Facebook, Mocha says she’ll be using the @mochamanager account in the meantime. We can always report her again for targeted harassment, then click on the tweets where she harasses VP Leni. You can do that too.

Twitter is where educated and open-minded people converse. No place for Mocha there. It's disturbing how her followers take her side without even looking at the whole picture.

I've got a thing for Japanese dry snacks. My voice was on like every... house track. Tell me when you've heard enough..." On the other hand, "Kisses Back" spices up club music with real emotion and pop melodies.

His new releases reveal his music evolution to a more refined sound. Over the past year, Koma fully transformed himself as a solo artist.

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Coinciding with the international celebration of women’s day yesterday, March 8, 2017, women senators led by Akbayan Senator Risa Hontiveros opened a photo exhibit that featured the achievements made by Filipino women senators in the last one hundred years.

The photo exhibit highlighted the role of past and present women senators in nation-building and the Philippine Senate as a democratic institution promoting gender equality and women empowerment.

“The Senate is one of the most hallowed institutions in government. As it reaches its first century, we can proudly say that the role of women has been constant, steadfast and vital to the Senate’s success and relevance. That six Senators sit in office today is a testament to how far the institution has come. We have crafted some of the most important pieces of legislation in our country’s history – The Magna Carta of Women, the Reproductive Health (RH) Law and recently, the Expanded Maternity Leave Bill, which grants 120 days worth of paid maternity leave to working women,” Hontiveros said.

Aside from Hontiveros, the event was attended by Senator Nancy Binay.

Former Senators Eva Estrada Kalaw, Anna Dominique Coseteng, Luisa Ejercito-Estrada, Santanina Rasul also graced the event.

The photo exhibit was organized by the office of Senator Hontiveros in partnership with the Senate Gender and Development Focal Point, the Reference Bureau, the Public Relations and Information Bureau and the institutional Linkages Services of External Affairs and Relations.
