Monday’s issue of the Samoa News incorrectly named the owners of Pacific Independent Distributors (PID) as Frank and Helen Gaisoa, in a Community Brief that identified PID, under the umbrella of the Tautua Mo Oe (TMO) family of businesses as the major sponsor for the Miss American Samoa beauty pageant.

Frank Gaisoa Sr. is the owner of TMO and it is his son Fritz and daughter-in-law Helen who own and operate PID.

Samoa News apologizes for the inadvertent mistake.
