Petitioner ask Mocha to use influence responsibly

Don’t distort facts.

The petitioner who sought to take down the Facebook page of Mocha Uson has this to say to the entertainer-turned-blogger after he initiated an online petition via change.org.

“She has all the freedom to write her opinion and share it to the media. But to write things to distort facts or to condition the mind of the public? It is no longer, I believe, protected by the freedom of expression,” Paul Quilet told INQUIRER.net in an e-mail interview.

As of posting time, the petition has gathered 33,175 signatures.

In an ironic twist of events, Quilet’s Facebook account was reported to the social networking site on October 24. But he said it has already been reactivated.

“Yes, after a day of being suspended, it was restored automatically,” he said.

“There are online blogs claiming that Facebook opted to suspend my account because of the petition. I would like to clear that my account was suspended because someone reported me on Facebook, apparently a basher, citing that I have allegedly shared indecent photos. Both claims, unfortunately, are far from the truth,” he added.

In an interview with INQUIRER.net, Uson described the move to take down her Facebook page as “hypocrisy at its finest.”

“Shocked kasi sino ka para pa-shut down ’yung Facebook ko? Galit kayo sa dictatorship pero ’yung nag-petition and ’yung mga nag-sign ng petition na ’yun, you’re acting like dictators. Sabi nga, hypocrisy at its finest,” she said.
