Napaghahalataang wala po kayong alam sa public service. Si Pangulong Duterte nga po, sinasabi niya na ang Malacañang ay kaniya lamang opisina, hindi po niya ito tahanan. Ito ay pag-aari ng taumbayan,” Uson said.</p><blockquote cite="https://www.tiktok.com/@mochausonofficial/video/7088597133858819354" class="tiktok-embed" data-video-id="7088597133858819354" style="max-width:605px;min-width:325px"><section><a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@mochausonofficial" target="_blank" title="@mochausonofficial">@mochausonofficial</a><p>Ang Malacañang ay opisina hindi tahanan</p><a href="https://www.tiktok.com/music/original-sound-mochauson-7088597155648244507" target="_blank" title="♬ original sound  - mochauson">♬ original sound - mochauson</a></section></blockquote><div><script async="" src="https://www.tiktok.com/embed.js" type="text/javascript"></script></div><p>Uson, a staunch supporter of President Rodrigo Duterte, is backing the presidential bid of Mayor Isko Moreno Domagoso. Duterte’s daughter, Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte, is Marcos’ running mate. Despite criticisms targeted at Marcos, Uson has notably spared the younger Duterte.</p><ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/news/03/18/22/mocha-uson-endorses-isko-for-president-in-halalan-2022">&#x27;Like a young Duterte’: Mocha Uson endorses Isko for president in Halalan 2022</a></li></ul><p>In her statement addressing Gonzaga, Uson alluded to the dictatorship of Marcos Sr., which lasted decades until he was ousted in the 1986 People Power Revolution.</p><p>“Para sabihin mo na babalik na sa kaniyang tahanan sa Malacañang si Marcos, ay parang sinabi mo na rin po na diktador ang kanilang pamilya na ginawa na talagang tahanan ang Malacañang noon. Umalis lang saglit, at ngayon ay babalik muli para angkinin ito,” she said.</p><p>“Paalala lang po: Ang Malacañang ay pag-aari ng bawat Pilipino. Ito ay opisina lamang ng public servant ng ating bayan. Sana po, ma’am, matuto kayo sa mga sinasabi ng Pangulong Duterte.”</p>
