When Communications Assistant Secretary Mocha Uson hit Senator Bam Aquino for allegedly grabbing the credits for the passage of the free college education bill into law, an alternative Twitter page hit Uson in return.

AltAsecMargauxUson (@AsecMargauxUson) slammed Uson for accusing Aquino of credit grabbing after he made an official statement about the free tuition law recently signed by President Rodrigo Duterte.
In his statement, Aquino said, “I wish to thank the President for signing the free college tuition into law. Congratulations to my fellow lawmakers and everyone who supported this policy… Pagkatapos ng ilang dekada, batas na ang inaasam-asam ng napakaraming pamilyang Pilipino na libreng kolehiyo. Estudyante, magulang at pamilyang Pilipino ang tunay na bida ng batas na ito.”
But Uson took issue with Aquino’ statement.

“Mr AQUINO wag mo agawin yang credit na yan kay PRRD. Kung ikaw man ang nag sponsor nyan marami kayo diyan hindi ikaw. At matagal ding pinupush yan iba pa ang Pangulo. Pero dahil hindi ginawang priority ng ibang Pangulo yan kaya hindi na ipapasa yan. Kasama na dyan yang kamag anak mong si PNOY. Sa madaling salita kahit anong pag push ng mga mambabatas yan noon ngayon lang sa administrasyon ni PRRD yan naisakatuparan kasi nga ginawa niyang priority yan. Sa madaling salita nag allot talaga sya ng budget dyan. Kaya pls lang wag mong sakyan at angkinin yan. Mahiya hiya ka naman kung ayaw mo matawag na credit grabber ka,” Uson wrote.
But AltAsecMargauxUson thought that Aquino was not taking credit for the law at all.
“In a strange brain fart, @MochaUson accused Sen. Bam Aquino of taking credit for the free tuition law for SUCs. Did she read first sentence?” the page wrote.

The Alt Twitter page also pointed out the second sentence in Aquino’s statement, which congratulated those who supported the free tuition policy.

Uson was also criticized by netizens over a tweet implying that the credit for the free tuition law should go to Duterte, not Aquino, as she asked: “Co author daw si Bam at si PRRD nag sign lang naman so credit goes to Bam. Ay tongak! San ba manggagaling ang budget?!?”
Uson already deleted the tweet and instead tweeted, “Naglalabasan mga troll ni Bam bam!”
