FILSCAP made a strong presence at the 2nd Philippine International Copyright Summit (PICS) hosted by the Intellectual Property Office of the Philippines (IPOPHL).
Tito Cayamanda led a dynamic songwriting masterclass, even guiding the crowd to create a new song on the spot. Panelists Trina Belamide and Top Suzara offered valuable insights into the business of songwriting, addressing many audience questions.
Atty. Marivic Benedicto and Kedy Sanchez were also in attendance, showcasing FILSCAP's commitment to this important event for copyright and songwriting in the Philippines.
The event, held at Novotel Araneta on October 22, 2024, also saw the signing of a Memorandum of Agreement between COMELEC and IPOPHL, advocating for the fair use of copyrighted materials in the upcoming election.
FILSCAP is the government-accredited non-profit collective management organization for music creators and copyright owners which primarily licenses the public playing, broadcast and streaming in the Philippines of copyrighted local and foreign songs. Part of its mandate is to promote local music creation, development and appreciation.
