Because of possible conflict of interests, should Assistant Secretary Mocha Uson’s controversial blog be “shut down” or should she just stay in private sector so she could freely speak her mind? Senator Grace Poe raised these questions at the resumption of the Senate committee on public information and mass media’s hearing on fake news on Tuesday. Perhaps even using government time to be able to fulfill her work in her blog,” Poe said. “Have you ever considered that perhaps this a conflict of interest and it should be shut down, Sir?” she asked, directing her question to PCOO Secretary Martin Andanar. Besides, Andanar said, Uson would not be exempted from any law that in fact she was already charged with libel.
