Posting a picture of praying Honduran soldiers with a call to prayer for Filipino soldiers. In her defense, Uson contended that she never claimed that the photo was that of members of the Philippine Army, and argued that the photo was only used as a visual aid or "symbolism".
Using a news report published in October 2015—before Duterte's presidency—to praise the Philippine Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) under the Duterte administration.
Sharing a photo of a girl who had allegedly been r***d and murdered by Filipino drug addicts and asking why there was no outrage from the Commission on Human Rights, when the photo had actually been taken in Brazil in 2014. Uson later took down her post.
Attacking the administration and students of St. Scholastica's College for committing "child abuse by forcing young students to attend anti-Ferdinand Marcos burial rallies. However, attendance by the students at the rallies were purely voluntary and done with the permission of their parents.
Sharing an article about a decorated policeman who was slain by drug dealers and challenging Vice President Leni Robredo, senators Bam Aquino, Antonio Trillanes, and Risa Hontiveros about when they would visit the wake, which had already occurred one year prior to her post.
Citing the non-existent 263rd article of the Constitution of the Philippines in a commentary about a tax evasion case against the tobacco company Mighty Corp.
On October 23, 2017, after Marawi was declared "liberated" following the deaths of the leaders of the Maute group, Uson posted an image of clean city streets, claiming that Duterte's government had moved fast, when in fact the photo had been taken on the third day of the Marawi siege.
In November 2017, on the day after the ASEAN summit came to a close, Uson shared a post by RJ Nieto misquoting Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau as saying: "Theoretically, it is impossible to get [the garbage] back ... even if it originally came from Canada", purportedly in reference to trash shipped to the Philippines from Canada. In fact, Trudeau's actual quote was "Even though it originally came from Canada, we had legal barriers and restrictions that prevented us from being able to take it back. Those regulations and those impediments have now been addressed, so it is now theoretically possible to get it back".
In January 2018, Uson lashed out at critics over an award for government service that she had received from the University of Santo Tomas Alumni Association,[82] stating that the controversy was being used to cover up issues over Dengvaxia in the Philippines, former Senator Franklin Drilon's receiving of funds from Janet Lim-Napoles, and the continuing eruption of Mayon Volcano in Naga, Camarines Sur. However, Mayon Volcano is located in Albay Province in the Bicol Region. Netizens[83] and celebrities[84] reacted on social media[85] on Uson's gaffe, flooding the Internet with memes.[86] Uson later apologized for her "tiny mistake", but continued to accuse critics of silence over the issues of Dengvaxia and the death of UST law student Atio Castillo from fraternity hazing. The latter claim was also false as Castillo's death had drawn public outrage, rallies, and resurrected calls for stricter anti-hazing laws in the Philippines.
On January 15, 2020, Uson falsely claimed that Vice President Leni Robredo gave only 5 pieces of pandesal (small bread buns) and a bottle of water to refugees from the 2020 Taal Volcano eruption, spent more on media coverage than Taal relief goods, and engaged in photo ops before helping victims of the tragedy.[88] In actuality, Robredo and her staff were able to distribute 2,101 food packs containing 1.5 kilos of rice, assorted canned goods, and two packs of noodles to residents in evacuation centers in the towns of Sta. Teresita, San Jose, and Sto. Tomas, as well as 1,000 face masks to the evacuees through Robredo's Angat Buhay program.[89] Robredo commented, "Parang masyado namang petty na pag-awayan pa namin iyong laman. Pero iyong pinakapunto ko: bakit hinahayaan natin na iyong nagpapakalat ng fake news, sinusuwelduhan pa ng pamahalaan?" ("Isn't it really petty that we'd fight over the contents? But my main point is, why are we allowing a peddler of fake news to still receive a government salary?") Robredo added: "Pera natin ito. Hindi naman ito pera ng kung sinong government official. Pero para hayaan mo na pera natin iyong ginagamit para lasunin iyong isip ng ating mga kababayan, tingin ko malaking kasalanan iyon." ("That's our money. This is not the money of some government official. But to allow our money to poison the thoughts of our country-mates, I think it's a big sin.") According to Robredo, Uson's lies were an insult to the volunteers who helped repack the donations.
On April 2, 2020, Uson posted photos showing personal protective equipment that were supposedly bought by the government and distributed to health workers. It was revealed that one of the photos she used was from the SM Foundation. The photo was replaced one day later.
On August 5, 2021, the Manila City Public Information Office flagged a post on her blog that claimed that a photo of a large crowd that was waiting outside a shopping mall that was not observing social distancing in a time of COVID-19 was from the city. The photo was actually from Rizal Province
