Only President Rodrigo Duterte can remove or compel Mocha Uson to resign as assistant communications secretary. Uson’s direct supervisor, Presidential Communications Secretary Martin Andanar, said Uson had been appointed by the President and the power to remove her rested on him alone. ADVERTISEMENT“Only one person can make Uson quit and that is the President because he is the appointing authority,” Andanar said. Clavite said many employees and other officials in the Presidential Communications Operations Office and its line agencies shared his sentiment. “The country has seen what a Mocha Uson could do to governance,” Clavite said on the sidelines of a conference in Iligan City for Task Force Bangon Marawi on Friday.
