Ipinagtanggol ni Senador Leila de Lima si Mocha Uson sa bagong puwesto nito bilang assistant secretary ng Presidential Communications Operations Office (PCOO).

Ayon kay De Lima, nakaka-relate siya kay Uson na tulad niya ay isang simpleng mamamayan na nabigyan ng pagkakataon na magsilbi sa pamahalaan

“I congratulate Ms. Uson on her new appointment. I was also once a simple private citizen, who was suddenly given the chance to devote myself – my time, my education, my professional skills, my passion – to the service of our countrymen. So in a way, I know how excited, honored and, perhaps, apprehensive Ms. Uson is to prove herself worthy of the trust given to her,” ani De Lima. (Leonel M. Abasola)
