Palace discouraging Mocha Uson from performing in casinos

MALACANANG is discouraging Presidential Communications Assistant Secretary Margaux "Mocha" Uson from performing in casinos as appearances in gambling halls are prohibited under the law.

"The law is clear and (Presidential) Secretary (Martin) Andanar has discussed with Asec. Uson why we must discourage her form performing in casinos. The way we understand, she may have to fulfill a certain contract. However she is certainly free to continue to perform in other venues not restricted for government officials and personnel," Palace spokesman Ernesto Abella told reporters in a press conference on Friday.
