Why don’t you just say sorry, Mocha?

MANILA, Philippines – Have the decency to apologize, wrote one netizen, tagging @MochaUson on Twitter. Then again, maybe that’s wishful thinking?

Netizens raged online from Sunday night, August 5, to Monday, August 6, over a video of Presidential Communications Assistant Secretary Mocha Uson and blogger Drew Olivar that featured them explaining federalism in a dance-and-song number. 

Olivar danced with his hands on his chest and crotch area while chanting, “I-pepe, i-pepe, i-dede, i-dede… ipederalismo!” The words “pepe” and “dede” are colloquial terms for vagina and breasts, respectively.

Despite the backlash online and even from among fellow public officials, Uson insisted in a Facebook post August 5 that they meant no harm. (READ: Medialdea annoyed by Mocha Uson federalism video controversy)

Here’s the full video:

Here’s what netizens have to say:

I’ve been firmly against the slut-shaming @MochaUson. But it is really difficult to tell people not to box her in her past when she HERSELF consents to this pepedederalismo stint. WTF. This whole video is stupid. Even shallow explanations are read from a kodigo by clueless hosts. https://t.co/Lz0kzyc5Wa

You could at least have the decency to apologize for this stupid stunt @MochaUson. But then I forgot you never had any. So it’s only fair game that we call you you out for being a complete imbecile, Ass Sec. #FireMocha #FireStupid #PepeDedeRalismo #NoToFederalism #NoToChaCha pic.twitter.com/1UIHUzublA

Come to think of it, this Kain Pepedederalismo "lecture" video actually represents the values of the GRP. It is cheap, corrupt and disreputable. But give props to Mocha and her team. Sila lang ang nakaisip na ihalintulad ang federalism sa rainbow. What a laudable analysis! https://t.co/KrKAnnOfuT
