Former communications assistant secretary Mocha Uson Mocha gave her opinions on the video scandal of veteran singer Jim Paredes which went viral over the past week.
Through her Facebook page, Uson posted a video about a week ago to leave a message to Paredes, who she referred to as a “hypocrite”.
Uson said that the sexual aspect of Paredes’ explicit video is not the main issue. She explained that the video clearly shows Paredes’ hypocrisy after criticizing President Rodrigo Duterte of being a “pervert”.
“Sir Jim, alam mo, hindi naman isyu dito ‘yung sex video mo. I mean, ‘yang scandal mo e. Ang isyu dito ay ikaw ay hipokrito. Sinasabi mo na si Pangulong Duterte ay manyak at bastos. Kung dumuro ka ng tao, akala mo malinis ang daliri mo, akala mo wala kang kapintasan, akala mo perpekto ka,” Uson said.
“Kaya ‘yan ang dahilan kung bakit pinupuna ‘yang video mo. Hindi dahil sa interesado kami dyan, kundi dahil sa naipakita kung gaano ka ka-hipokrito. ‘Yun lang, okay?” she added.
To recall, Paredes initially claimed that the video was “fake”. However, he eventually posted a blog entry wherein he owned up to the controversial video but said it was not meant for public consumption.
It remains unclear where the said video came from. It is also unknown if it was Paredes who recorded himself or if someone got a hold of the file. Some netizens are also questioning if the release of the video is a spyware concern.
Even Paredes himself said that he does not know how the video found its way to the internet since it was meant to be private.
The Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) and the Philippine National Police (PNP) have earlier said that they are also ready to investigate the viral video scandal of Paredes once he filed a formal complaint with the authorities.
