In a not-so-surprising turn of events, Mocha Uson is back on the trending pages. No, it’s not about her UST Alumni Association award because she already returned it. (Thank God.) It’s the fact that she said that the Mayon volcano is located in Naga and not Albay.
In a Facebook Live clip on Wednesday, Mocha was questioning why people were so upset about her recent award instead of focusing on other important matters. These include the Dengvaxia controversy, Sen. Franklin Drilon allegedly accepting money from Janet Lim Napoles, and the Mayon eruption.
To be fair, Mocha must’ve been so passionate during the interview, which is why she blurted out the wrong city. She also apologized immediately after realizing her error. (She may be known to post fake news but at least she knows her Philippine geography.) But, you can’t deny that the reactions and memes were funny AF.
Netizens started making news announcements that the Mayon has relocated from Albay. Who knew a volcano could be sentient like the one in Lava?
One speculated that the volcano was originally born in Naga.
Another suggested that the reason Mocha mentioned Naga is because she was so focused on VP Leni Robredo. (In case you didn’t know, the Robredos are from Naga.)
Hope it doesn’t move away from Naga just yet because Enchong Dee seemed excited to see the new tourist spot in his province.
In all seriousness, the Mayon volcano is in Albay, okay? Don’t get confused! Also, offer help to the Bicolanos who are affected by the eruption.
