Usec. Mon Cualoping to Arlene Muhlach: “Don’t accuse me of being a manggagamit”

Undersecretary & Director-General of the Presidential Communications Office-Philippine Information Agency Mon Cualoping replied to a post made by actress Arlene Muhlach about being a user just to become popular.

Arlene was reacting to an earlier post made by Usec. Cauloping saying actress Angel Locsin has ‘no brain cells.’

““Grabe, there are so many of your acquaintances that you can lambast that truly affects our lives as Filipinos and here you go looking for someone who can UP your popularity by ruining what is pure and comes from the heart???!!! Nahanap mo pa talaga sya at ang comment nya??! wag naman ganun!! Wag manggamit para makilala.” reads on a partial post of Arlene.

Usec. Cauloping replied by posting the following:

“Dear Ms. Arlene Muhlach,

To be honest, I am quite confused with your comment in one of my posts. I am your fan hence I know you aren’t a troll.

I tried to decipher what you wrote. Please allow me to respond.

I am sorry, Ma’am. But since day 1 in 2016, I have been consistent in defending the Government.

I do not need to be popular because that’s not my job. In fact, it’s all of you giving me undue attention.

By the way, Angel Locsin’s comment was all over the news. With social media cards plastered in almost all media networks. I saw it from there. Why? Because I don’t follow any of her social media accounts.

Therefore, it’s a public comment. Thus, my right to comment on it too. And I do not question that her intentions were pure and from the heart.

The issue is plain and simple: No need to demonize the police force and business folks in order to highlight the heroism of our frontliners. Including you as a comedian. I love watching your films because you are funny. So if you take Locsin’s words, you should be out of job in this pandemic. How irresponsible. How reckless.

This is my point.

Yet, she, being a popular actor with millions of followers, can rile up people to distrust the Government with her reckless and ridiculous remarks. All in the time of great difficulty in our national life.

I think by now you understand my point already.

And please. Don’t accuse me of being a manggagamit. I am not a showbiz personality. I am who I am. My friends and colleagues know I shun attention and would rather work to make things happen.

I serve the Republic. And it is my duty to protect the Republic from wokes who continue to destroy our country.

Thank you.

Mon Cualoping

A fellow Filipino taxpayer”
