The lawyer and educator added further that "Yung position na yan, maraming nagsasabi na ayaw kong magbayad ng sweldo niya. Sa totoo lang yung position na yan is specifically for the President kasi talagang spokesperson siya ng President sa social media. Talagang hindi siya magse-serve sa atin na ordinary citizen. The Communications Office serves at the pleasure of the President, para sa agenda ng President," La Viña added.
The tough-talking President of the Philippines, Pres. Duterte appointed Mocha Uson to the position as Asst. Secretary on May 8, 2017, prompting her to quit as a board member of the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB).
