Trillanes after 'friendly' photo with Mocha: Tuloy tuloy lang ang mga kaso

PCOO Asst. Sec. Mocha Uson poses with Sen. Antonio Trillanes IV after the Senate hearing on fake news.

Senator Antonio Trillanes IV on Wednesday said the multiple criminal complaints he filed against Presidential Communications Operations Office Assistant Secretary Esther Margaux “Mocha” Uson will remain despite obliging to take a photo with her after a Senate hearing on fake news.

"While I appreciate the friendly gesture of Ms. Mocha Uson to have a photo taken with me, it doesn't change the fact that, as a senior public official, she committed criminal offenses that warranted  the filing of multiple cases," Trillanes said in a statement.

"Sa madaling salita, tuloy tuloy lang ang mga kaso," the senator added.

He has filed before the Ombudsman three counts of libel under the Anti-Cybercrime Law and  using falsified documents under the Revised Penal Code in connection with allegedly spearheading the spread of fake news over his supposed offshore bank accounts.

For performing at a Pasay City casino with her all-female singing and dancing group, Mocha Girls, the presidential assistant secretary was also accused of grave misconduct, violation of the Code of Ethics and Ethical Standards for Public Officials and Employees and the Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practices Act. — BAP, GMA News
