Tim remarked that it was never his intention to offend anyone. "I would never do anything na makaka-endanger kahit sinuman. And siyempre… pag lahat kayo negative, you feel safe with each other. Siguro nagkulang ako na paalalahanin na magsuot ng mask dahil may lumabas na mga letrato at ng mga videos na walang mask. Again, I would never endanger anyone.
