Singer, dancer, and blogger Mocha Uson has been appointed as a board member of the Movie and Television Review And Classification Board (MTRCB).
Executive Secretary Salvador Medialdea confirmed Uson’s appointment on Thursday.
MTRCB chairperson Toto Villareal also told GMA News Online that Uson's appointment papers are now with their agency.
"The MTRCB received recently a copy of Ms. Uson's appointment letter signed by the President; but she has yet to assume office in the agency," he said.
While Presidential Communications Secretary Martin Andanar earlier refused to confirm Uson's appointment, he told reporters, "Why not? What makes her not qualified?"
"Mocha is an artist. She is one the biggest artists that we have in the country. She's been in the show business world for more than a decade. She's one of the biggest bloggers that we have in the Philippines, very influential," he said.
"If she has been appointed already, I don't see any reason why she shouldn't be appointed," Andanar added.
Uson is a known supporter of President Rodrigo Duterte.
Uson was named an ambassadress of the 2016 Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF) to help promote the featured movies on social media.
