Photog mistaken for slapping reporter

WRONG PERSON. According to an EAR source, a photojournalist who went to cover a recent fire was ganged upon by residents who thought he was the reporter who slapped a woman for not wearing a face mask during a drug raid in another barangay.

The crowd appeared on the verge of roughing him up, but before they could do so the photojournalist was able to remove his helmet and confirm he was not the controversial reporter.
