Watchmen Daily Journal writer Dominique Gabriel G. Bañaga apologizes to Engiemar Tupas regarding an article published over the weekend, “DTI warning establishments against hoarding, overpricing facemasks.” The article was written based on information provided by a media colleague and Tupas was cited in the article without a formal interview being taken. No permission was given to release the article on Tupas’ behalf.

The writer regrets the incident and, rest assured, there was no malicious intent in releasing the information.
