Comelec flags Mocha Uson’s ‘cookie’ jingle
The Commission on Elections (Comelec) has warned Manila councilor candidate Mocha Uson about her "sexually suggestive" campaign materials, including a campaign jingle with the lyrics "Cookie ni Mocha."
Comelec Chairman George Garcia stated that campaign jingles with double meanings should be avoided as much as possible.
Uson has heeded the poll body's request and instructed her campaign team to immediately halt the use of the materials in question.
Garcia noted that Uson's jingle was released before the issuance of new supplemental guidelines banning vulgar language.
Some candidates' foul remarks prompted the Comelec to issue a supplemental anti-discrimination guideline, as vulgarity also increased during the campaign period.
