Former singer-turned-government official Mocha Uson is taking advantage of the pregnancy rumor by helping women who have been socially wrong or lost by establishing an advocacy dubbed MOthers of CHAnge (MOCHA).
"I also realized - so what if I'm pregnant? Let's just say I'm pregnant. I am single and not married. Now if they say that because I got pregnant with a married man it's a mistake-yes that's absolutely wrong," said Uson on the Facebook account of her blog Jan. 24
Uson, who is the Deputy Executive Director of the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration, has denied she was pregnant. She frowned at rumors claiming that action star Robin Padilla got her pregnant. Uson has also apologized to Padilla and his wife actress-television host Mariel Rodriguez- Padilla.

Uson's full post:
"SO WHAT IF YOU'RE PREGNANT?
"Recently, the issue of me being pregnant has emerged. I have seen different reactions to this issue. There are those who judge.
"There have also been those who have extended their support and I am grateful for their concern. But I'm making a statement on this issue - I'm not pregnant.
"I also realized - so what if I'm pregnant? Let's just say I'm pregnant. I am single and not married.
"Now if they say that because I got pregnant with a married man it's a mistake-yes that's absolutely wrong. But those who are wrong in society shouldn't be condemned instead they should be helped to rise.
"So I thought I would add this to my advocacy to help women who have been socially wrong or lost. I want to help single moms, either because of the mistake of loving the wrong guy or they separated from their spouse, whether it's their fault or their wives.
"Let's call this MOCHA - MOthers for CHANge. We are not perfect. Everything makes mistakes and makes excuses.
"But the Bible says, Our God is a God of second chances.... ′′ God gives each of us chance after chance ′′ (Job 33:29)."
