Mocha Uson chooses to resign from being the Communications Assistant Secretary. It's been 1 year and 5 months since President Rodrigo Duterte gave her that said position.

In the budget hearing of PCOO, Uson announces her resignation. She said that she will sacrifice her position so that the PCOO will be improved. She also told the people who criticize her to not be mistaken thinking that they have already won. She said that she resigns to have a fair fight.

Mocha Uson became widely known because of her controversial social media post she’s been criticized for a lot of times. The news of her resigning became a trending topic; there are people that are sad about it but there are more people that are glad that Mocha Uson will resign from the government. Some of the Filipinos question her credibility as a Communications Assistant Secretary because she has no background about that position, so people doubt her if she can do her duties well. One of her controversies is when she and Kris Aquino exchanged their hatred against each other on social media because of her comments against the late parents of Kris Aquino.

For now, the position for the Communications Assistant Secretary is vacant. The question is, who will replace Mocha Uson?
