Chapter VI of Copyright Law (RA 8293)
SEC. 178. Rules on Copyright Ownership Copyright ownership shall be governed by the following rules:
178.1. Subject to the provisions of this section, in the case of original literary and artistic works, copyright shall belong to the author of the work;
178.2. In the case of works of joint authorship, the co-authors shall be the original owners of the copyright and in the absence of agreement, their rights shall be governed by the rules on co-ownership. If, however, a work of joint authorship consists of parts that can be used separately and the author of each part can be identified, the author of each part shall be the original owner of the copyright in the part that he has created;
178.3. In the case of work created by an author during and in the course of his employment, the copyright shall belong to:
(a) The employee, if the creation of the object of copyright is not a part of his regular duties even if the employee uses the time, facilities and materials of the employer.
(b) The employer, if the work is the result of the performance of his regularly-assigned duties, unless there is an agreement, express or implied, to the contrary.
178.4. In the case of a work-commissioned by a person other than an employer of the author and who pays for it and the work is made in pursuance of the commission, the person who so commissioned the work shall have ownership of work, but the copyright thereto shall remain with the creator, unless there is a written stipulation to the contrary;
178.5. In the case of audiovisual work, the copyright shall belong to the producer, the author of the scenario, the composer of the music, the film director, and the author of the work so adapted. However, subject to contrary or other stipulations among the creators, the producers shall exercise the copyright to an extent required for the exhibition of the work in any manner, except for the right to collect performing license fees for the performance of musical compositions, with or without words, which are incorporated into the work; and
178.6. In respect of letters, the copyright shall belong to the writer subject to the provisions of Article 723 of the Civil Code. (Sec. 6, P.D. No. 49a)

Hello everyone! Thank you all for your continued support  You don’t know how much I appreciate your taking time to view my photos and even leaving comments once in a while. My deepest gratitude… You guys inspire me to become better at what I do. Like what I said on my previous blog, I’ve just started updating my sites and uploading more of my photos. Considering that I specialize in events photography, you CANNOT IMAGINE how many photos I have. It takes hours just going through each event and discarding the occasional ‘bad’ shots, more so, deciding which photos to actually upload. That's why I ask that you understand if my posts are rather delayed. I AM starting to build my own team though so things are bound to go more smoothly for me with regard to this.
Other than that, a more important reason for my delayed posting is PROFESSIONALISM. My clients hire me to take photos FOR THEM. Basically, they need and use my services not just so they could have recollections of their concerts, launches or parties. They need those photos for various PR marketing matters like press releases, websites, newsletters and the like. I even sign contracts which have sections pertaining to the confidentiality of their events, asking that no information or photographs taken from them should be disclosed. Now, granted that they’ve already made use of my work, meaning they’ve already made it available to public eyes, then that would be THE ONLY TIME I could make personal use of it and upload my photographs online. So please understand that it’s primarily a matter of RESPECT.
Nevertheless, I know how good photographs bring us back to the events, causing us to instantly relive the moment. So just trust that once my clients are done with their projects, with their permission, I would more than gladly post my photos and make them available to you guys.
Alright? Okay!!! Thanks again for your support
