Mocha Uson Promises a Respectful Campaign After Jingle Issue
MOCHA USON – The vlogger and aspiring Manila councilor has officially responded to the Commission on Elections (Comelec) after being called out for her campaign jingle titled “Cookie ni Mocha.”
In a Facebook post on April 9, 2025, Uson shared her reply to Comelec and its group, Task Force SAFE (Safeguarding Against Fear & Exclusion in Elections). She said she is thankful for their comments and understands the need to keep all campaign messages respectful and suitable for all ages.
Uson said she has already instructed her team to stop using the jingle. She added that they are now reviewing all their campaign materials to ensure they follow the rules and are appropriate for the public, especially during the election period. This move came after the Comelec sent her a letter on April 8, stating that her jingle may have contained parts that sounded s*xually suggestive.
She also assured the public that she was committed to running a clean and respectful campaign. Uson said she wants to help start meaningful conversations about government and community issues. She hopes her campaign will not only provide useful information but also encourage more people to participate in the voting process.
Meanwhile, Mocha Uson, former assistant secretary of the Presidential Communications Operations Office (PCOO), shared the real story behind her campaign chant “Cookie ni Mocha.” She explained that the chant was meant to energize and connect with the crowd, but it actually came from a meaningful experience.
Uson said the campaign slogan began as a small business she started a decade ago with Nanay Lourdes, a talented baker. When Lourdes was later diagnosed with Stage 4 breast cancer, Uson decided to donate all the profits from “Cookie ni Mocha” to help cover her medical expenses. What began as a way to help a friend eventually turned into a healthcare advocacy supporting mothers facing serious health challenges.
Today, Uson hopes to revive the “Cookie ni Mocha” initiative as part of her goal to improve healthcare services for mothers and elderly people in her community.
