Kontra Daya makes the call after controversial pro-Duterte blogger Mocha Uson is appointed to OWWA just a few months after her party lost in the 2019 elections

Many had also questioned why the controversial blogger – who had resigned as Palace communications assistant secretary – was appointed to another post less than a year after she was nominated by AA-Kasosyo in the May 2019 polls, where the party failed to get enough votes to gain a seat in Congress.

This was affirmed in Comelec minute resolution 19-0677, where the Comelec en banc resolved that the one-year prohibition was not applicable to nominees of a losing party-list organization"as the nominees are not the candidates but ratherer the party-list itself." "While it may be argued that the party-list system provides for election of party-list groups , it is better for those in power to exercise prudence in giving out appointments to its favored individuals clearly rejected by the voters." Kontra Daya said.
