Universal ang Copyright
Ayon sa Universal Declaration of Human Rights (Article 27:2)
Lahat ay may karapatan na mabigyang-proteksiyon ang kapakanang moral at materyal bunga ng alinmang produksiyong pang-agham, pampanitikan, o pansining na siya ang may-akda.
Ang human rights ay universal. Ibig sabihin, lahat ng tao sa lahat ng sulok ng mundo ay pantay-pantay, may angking dignidad, may laya, at may mga karapatan.
Dahil universal ito, lahat ng gobyerno ay may tungkulin na ipatupad ito sa kanilang mga bansa at i-promote ang pag-aaral at pagrespeto sa mga ito.
Paano ang copyright? Wala naman ang salitang ito sa UDHR.
Totoong wala ang salitang copyright sa UDHR dahil ito ay isang legal term o salitang nilikha para madaling maintindihan ang batas. Pero nakapaloob sa Artikulo 27.2 ang laman ng copyright.
Ano ang copyright? Ito ay ang karapatan ng mga may-akda na mabigyang-proyeksiyon ang kanilang mga kapakanang moral at materyal.
Saan nagmumula ang mga kapakanang moral at materyal? Ito ang bunga ng mga produksiyong (gawa o akda) pang-agham, pampanitikan, o pansining.
Kapakanang moral? E, ano naman ang implication nito? Ibig sabihin ang may-akda, ay may moral na kapakanan sa isinulat niyang nobela. Siya lang ang may karapatang magsabi kung pangalan nga niya ang ilalagay bilang tagapaglikha ng akda. Puwede rin siyang gumamit ng pen name, kung gugustuhin niya. Walang puwedeng magdesisyon tungkol dito kundi ang may-akda.
Kapakanang materyal? E, ano naman ito? Ibig sabihin, ang may-akda lang ang may karapatan sa kikitain mula sa kanyang nobela. Dahil siya ang may karapatan, nasa kanya rin ang kapangyarihan na ilipat ito sa publisher para i-publish ang nobela niya. At ang kasunduan ng may-akda at publisher ay nagiging formal sa pagpirma nila sa isang kontrata. Sa kontrata nakasaad kung papaano ang hatian ng royalty, mga future version o anyo ng nobela at marami pang iba.
Ganito rin ang siste para sa mga nagsulat ng librong pang-agham, o sa taong nagpinta ng landscape, o sa taong nag-sculpture sa marmol.
At dahil kasali sa UDHR ang kapakanang moral at materyal ng may-akda o copyright, ito ay universal din tulad ng human rights.
Ibig sabihin, lahat ng may-akda sa lahat ng sulok na mundo ay pantay-pantay, may angking dignidad, may laya at may mga karapatan. Hindi puwedeng ang mga Pinoy author lang ang bibigyang-proteksiyon ng gobyerno sa Pilipinas. Dapat lahat ng mga author.
Ganito rin ang siste sa ibang bansa tulad ng Singapore, Japan, o United Kingdom. Hindi puwedeng ang mga Singaporean, Japanese o British author lang ang bibigyang-proteksiyon ng kanilang gobyerno. Dapat lahat ng authors.
Hindi saklaw ng border o national boundaries ang human rights at copyright. Kasi nga universal ang human rights. Kasi nga universal din ang copyright.
Inaanyayahan ang mga awtor, publisher, o tagapagmana ng copyright na sumali sa FILCOLS. Ito’y para mabigyang proteksiyon ang kanilang mga akda. Kailangan lamang ay mayroon kayong published works kung kayo ay awtor/publisher o nasa inyo ang kapangyarihang magmanage kung heirs kayo ng awtor. Wala pong membership fee. Kung may tanong hinggil sa tinalakay na paksa, mag-email lamang sa filcols@gmail.com.

Flipside Publishing Call for Submission
Submission Guidelines
Flipside Novel Submission Guidelines
You can email your submissions to publisher@flipsidecontent.com. However, before you submit, read the guidelines below.
How to Submit
Email us at the above address.
In your subject line, indicate if it is for Flipside Flames, Flipside Flavors, or FSSF.
Please follow our General Requirements.
We prefer submissions from Asian authors but submissions are open to anyone.
In the body of your email, include your name, contact information, and a brief author bio.
See below for specific requirements unique to the imprint (Romance, Erotica, or Speculative Fiction) you are submitting to.
We do not accept simultaneous submissions.
General Requirements
Submissions must be in English.
Submissions should be in Manuscript Format.
We accept RTF and DOC files. Do not submit in any other file format.
In your submission, please include your query letter, a one-page synopsis of your novel, and the first three chapters of your book. Do not send us the entire manuscript.
The book need not be complete when you make your initial submission but should be complete before we finalize acceptance.
All material must be the author’s own original work and s/he must own the electronic publishing rights.
We accept reprints.
Flipside FLAMES (Romance)
We’re looking for single-title romance novels with a substantial storyline that focuses on the fantasy of true love. The story must feature and develop a central romantic relationship between two complex characters. These characters do not have to end up together by the close of the story, but the novel has to end on an optimistic and emotionally satisfying note. Sex is okay but we prefer that it be hinted at rather than described. No graphic or vulgar description, please—we prefer sexual spark from emotional close-ups and subtle but meaningful gestures rather than from detailed accounts of penetration. The conquest here is not for the climax but for the heart.
Works should have a length of 25,000 – 30,000 words. We are looking for Contemporary Romance (CR), Historical Romance (HR), and Paranormal Romance (PNR) novels. For a clearer definition of these subgenres, you can check the definitions presented in the Romance Writers of America website.
Flipside FLAVORS (Erotica)
We’re looking for single-title erotic novels with well-drawn characters and a substantial storyline that focuses on sexual desire and dynamics. We recognize the wild complexity of the erotic imagination and welcome the relation of various kinks, but they must turn us on, not gross us out. We want sex—lots of it, in fact—but not sex for sex’s sake. We seek sensuality—vivid description and psychosexual insight are appreciated; mechanical accounts listing positions, the number of repetitions, sequence, and the various euphemisms for the word “cock,” not so much.
Works should have a length of 25,000 – 30,000 words. We are open to erotica that caters to men, women, and/or LGBT.
FSSF (Flipside SpecFic)
We’re looking for novels that contain strong elements or sensibilities of science fiction, fantasy, horror, magic realism, alternate history, folklore, superheroes, slipstream, or related nonrealist genres and subgenres. We welcome both traditional narratives and works that play with form. While we appreciate literary and philosophical depth, formal inventiveness, and social critique, we do not want to be bored, boggled beyond cognition, or preached to.
Works should have a length of 40,000 – 60,000 words.
Compensation and Rights
We offer a PhP10,000 (roughly US$240.00) advance against royalties for works we accept.
We claim exclusive, first, world electronic publishing rights for seven years, subject to renewal.
Further details about compensation and rights will be included in the contract.

Buhay na Titik: Unibersal ang Human Rights
ni Alvin Buenaventura ng FILCOLS
Kilala mo ba si Dred Scott?
Si Dred Scott ay isang African slave. Nakipaglaban siya sa korte sa America para mabuhay nang malaya kasama ang kanyang pamilya.
Matapos ang mahaba at mainit na labanan at mga debate, dinesisyunan ito ng US Supreme Court: hindi siya pwedeng maging American citizen. Dahil hindi citizen ay wala siyang karapatan at ito ay applicable sa kahit na sinong ang ninuno ay African.
Nangyari ito sa US noong panahon ni Abraham Lincoln. Iba-iba pa noon ang batas tungkol sa slavery. May mga state kung saan legal ang slavery pero sa iba namang states, illegal ito. Ibig sabihin walang unibersal o pangkalahatang batas sa slavery.
Ang kaso ni Scott ang isa sa naging mitsa ng madugong digmaan sa Amerika. Nagpang-abot at naglaban ang mga pro-slavery at anti-slavery.
Pagkatapos ng US Civil War ay nagkaroon ng pagbabago sa Konstitusyon ng Amerika. Kasama rito ang pagbuwag sa slavery, pagbibigay ng citizenship sa mga dating slave, at pagbibigay ng automatic citizenship sa mga ipinanganak sa US kahit pa mga slave ang kanilang magulang.
Ganito rin ang kwento ng Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR). Matapos ang mahaba at mainit na giyera ay nagkaroon ng pagbabago sa pananaw ng lahat. Nagkaroon ng isang unibersal o panlahat na boses pagdating sa usapin ng human rights.
Dahil tanggap ng lahat ang pagiging unibersal ng laman ng deklarasyon ay nagkabisa ito bilang isang international law. Ito ang batas na sasaklaw sa lahat ng tao sa lahat ng bansa.
Lahat ng gobyerno , payag na mabigyang-proteksiyon at i-promote ang mga karapatan at kalayaan ng kanilang mga mamamayan.
Ibig sabihin, may karapatan at laya ang tao kahit maitim, maputi, o madilaw ang balat niya. May karapatan at laya ang tao kahit ano o sino pa ang sinasamba niya, o kahit wala siyang sinasamba. May karapatan at laya ang tao kahit ano ang kulay ng kanyang politika.
Bakit mahalagang magkaroon ng universal feature ang UDHR?
Dahil nga tinanggap ito ng maraming bansa, nagiging basehan ito ng mga national at international law.
At dahil may international law, ang mga disputes dito ay dinadala sa international court. Sa international court naman dinidinig ang mga matinding violation sa human rights tulad ng genocide o ethnic cleansing.
Noong 1997, ibinilang si Dred Scott at asawang si Harriet sa St. Louis Walk of Fame. Ang stars at plake ay nakadisplay sa sidewalk ng Delmar Boulevard sa Missouri. Ito ang pagbibigay-pugay sa mga tao mula sa St. Louis, Missouri na malaki o unibersal ang naging ambag sa kultura ng US.
Inaanyayahan ang mga awtor, publisher, o tagapagmana ng copyright na sumali sa FILCOLS. Ito’y para mabigyang proteksiyon ang kanilang mga akda. Kailangan lamang ay mayroon kayong published works kung kayo ay awtor/publisher o nasa inyo ang kapangyarihang magmanage kung heirs kayo ng awtor. Wala pong membership fee. Kung may tanong hinggil sa tinalakay na paksa, mag-email lamang sa filcols@gmail.com.

Call for Submission: Kritika at Kultura
To the rare extent to which Philippine literature in Spanish is recognized to exist, the tradition is almost entirely identified with the life and oeuvre of José Rizal, the late-19th century author of the novels Noli me tangere and El filibusterismo and the poem “Mi último adiós.” The appearance of Filipino fiction and poetry in Spanish precedes Rizal, however, and creative publications in other genres as well thrived in diverse and continuous ways for many decades thereafter.
In the past century, a scattering of published surveys and graduate theses has sought to describe the key authors and texts of Philippine literature in Spanish, but virtually no sustained analytical scholarship on particular literary works, outside those by Rizal, has been produced. The object of this Forum Kritika is to encourage the creation of such a critical corpus and thereby initiate long-lasting investigations into the tradition, perhaps the most unknown in the Spanish-speaking world and among all Asian literatures in Western languages.
Kritika Kultura will publish four to six papers on Philippine literature in Spanish in the August 2012 or February 2013 issue. All topics on specific texts of the tradition are welcome, but in order to diversify the existing range of scholarship, authors are urged to submit essays that do not focus exclusively on Rizal. Theoretical and/or comparative approaches to texts are particularly welcome, as are essays on any literature, defined broadly, produced in Chabacano in any of its variants (Zamboangueño, Caviteño, Ermitaño, etc.).
All submissions will be subject to peer review. Essays should be 5,000-7,000 words long and submitted as a Word document to Adam Lifshey, guest editor of this Forum Kritika, at AML58@georgetown.edu by February 1, 2012. An abstract of 250-400 words should accompany each submission. Regarding style and format, all essays should follow the guidelines of the most recent MLA handbook.
Kritika Kultura is a refereed electronic journal of the Ateneo de Manila University and is available at http://kritikakultura.ateneo.net.

Call for Submission: Aswang-aswangan!
Before electricity, before sonar, before Hollywood, they were the stuff of our fantasies, our nightmares, our folktales. We whispered about them in hushed tones. We stepped politely through forests for fear of arousing their wrath. We cautiously said “bari-bari apo” when walking in the dark.
Have they been eclipsed by modernity? Or have they gone to another place? A place where people still believe in incantos? Perhaps, they are still here. For when fear strikes our hearts, what is it we fear? When our skin trembles at sound/sight/smell/taste, what is it we tremble at? When we are moved by enchantment to still places, to stands of trees, to big rocks, to look at stars, then we know that this earth is old, peopled by beings whose memories are older than ours. Perhaps, older than the stars. Elemental.
What the legends say, may or may not be true; but the legends continue.
This season, we ask you to listen to the old tales and spin new ones. Where are the aswangs? Shape-shifters that they are, what shape have they taken now? When will bakunawa finally swallow the sun and eclipse the world in darkness forever and ever? If people keep cutting down trees, where will the kapres then reside? Have you ever felt cursed, as if your very shadow was dogged? Then did the albularyo dropping candle wax on water tell you who placed a kulam on you? Or did you ever try a love spell for yourself?
Spin it out and spin it out. We’ve got time to tell. We’ll listen to your stories on the full harvest moon of February, a time when, people say, the shapeshifters come out. But we don’t want want no tales of Twilight or New Moon, we want stories that come from us. Our myths that stand for our race. Our legends that speak of our nobility as a people. Say it in English or Filipino. Say it through a painting or a song. But say it. So the world can hear, and know that what binds us as a people, is these old tales running through our blood, making us what we are, what we fear, what we become.
Genre Guidelines:
1) The theme is loosely based on Philippine mythological creatures. From there, you may spin your own web any way you like.
2) Literary submissions are accepted in English and Filipino. Each person may submit up to 5 poems, short stories, essays, or any version of narrative they wish.
3) Art submissions are accepted in JPEG and PDF format. Colored and black and white works are accepted.
4) Music submissions are accepted in MP3 or Wav format. Musicians must submit the lyrics along with the MP3.
5) Send all submissions to balitezine@yahoo.com.
6) Deadline for submissions is on January 15, 2011. Edited by Castelo, dela Cruz, Kwan, Napueta, and Sarno for Espasyo Siningdikato, Inc.
Date and Time:

Book Industry Christmas Party held last Dec. 13
The Book Industry Christmas Party was held last Dec. 13, 2011 at the Clubhouse, Valle Verde IV, Pasig City from 7:00 p.m. till 11:00 p.m.
More than a hundred guests made up of writers and publishers attended the merry event. During the first part of the program, the election for new members of the Board of Trustees of the Book Development Association of the Philippines (BDAP) took place. Then dinner was served as Symfonia band played great music.
FILCOLS Executive Director Alvin Buenaventura gave the welcome remarks. He called Ms. Ani Almario-David to introduce the Guest Speaker.
The Guest Speaker was none other than Ms. Neni Sta. Romana-Cruz, the newly-appointed Chairperson of the National Book Development Board (NBDB). She delivered her message to the stakeholders of the book industry. According to her, she cannot contain her excitement to work for the betterment of the book industry and that she is ready for all the challenges ahead.
After her message, some games were played out. Writers and publishers readily formed their own teams to compete in some wacky parlor games. All of the participants received their prizes from Vim Nadera, Angeline Montilla, and Alvin Buenaventura tandem. Nadera is associate professor at the University of the Philippines Diliman while Angeline Montilla works as a model.
Buenaventura called Lirio P. Sandoval, the BDAP's outgoing president. He gave a testimonial for Dr. Dennis T. Gonzalez, the former Chairperson of NBDB.
In behalf of the BDAP, Mr. Sandoval also awarded a plaque of appreciation to Dr. Gonzalez for good governance, for all the things that he has done for the industry, and for the partnerships that were very beneficial to Filipino publishers, writers, and readers.
Dr. Gonzalez was very pleased with the surprise testimonial for him. He responded with a message that narrated his journey with the NBDB and the whole book industry. He shared that the past administration had attempts to demolish the NBDB. That was ten years ago, before he took over. He also shared that initially, he just wanted to apply the lessons he learned in the academe in a government agency. And NBDB was just the right agency for him. And the result was overwhelmingly helpful and beneficial to everyone.
After Dr. Gonzalez's response, the parlor games resumed. Raffle prizes were also given away.
Before the night ended, Esther Pacheco, one of the advisers of BDAP, announced the election results.
The members of the Board of Trustees are the following:
Lirio P. Sandoval
Cristina Pantoja-Hidalgo
Segundo Matias, Jr.
Jose Maria Policarpio
The complete list will be provided very soon.

Buhay na Titik: Birthday ng Human Rights
ni Alvin Buenaventura ng FILCOLS
Tuwing 10 Disyembre ay ipinagdiriwang sa buong mundo ang Human Rights Day. Ito ay inoorganisa sa pangunguna ng Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights, isang ahensiya sa ilalim ng United Nations.
Ang Disyembre 10 ay ang petsa ng pagpapatibay ng UN sa dokumentong Universal Declaration of Human Rights o Pandaigdigang Pagpapahayag ng mga Karapatang Pantao.
Ang naturang pagpapahayag ang naging basehan ng mga batas at policy ng maraming bansa tungkol sa human rights.
Mula sa UN declaration, lahat daw ng tao ay ipinanganak na malaya at may angking dignidad. At ang pagrespeto sa human rights ang daan sa isang mapayapa, makatarungan, at maunlad na mundo.
Dagdag pa, ang kalayaan at dignidad ay hindi puwedeng yurakan ng kahit na sino lalo na ng gobyerno. Ang kalayaan at dignidad ay hindi base sa relihiyon, kulay ng balat, antas ng edukasyon, posisyon sa lipunan, pagiging mayaman o mahirap, kasarian, at iba pa.
Katangi-tangi ang taong 2011 sa kuwento ng human rights dahil ito ang taon ng Arab Spring. Milyon-milyong mga tao ang nagtipon, nagpahayag, at nagpabagsak sa mga diktaturyang nagpahirap sa kanila sa mahabang taon.
Ang mga diktador ng Tunisia, Egypt, Lebanon, at iba pang karatig-bansa ay nagsibagsakan na parang mga pitsa ng domino. Si Ghadafy ng Lebanon ay agad na hinatulan ng taumbayan at binaril. Si Mubarak ng Egypt ay kasalukuyang nakakulong at nililitis.
Maraming natutuwa dahil namulat ang mga tao sa kanilang angking karapatan bilang tao. Ang respeto sa human rights ang siyang naging batayan ng mga botante sa unang eleksiyon na ginanap sa Egypt. Halos 30 years din silang walang layang pumili ng lider at gobyerno.
Ang authors, artists, at iba pang manlilikha ay madalas na kinukulong dahil mapanganib ang kanilang mga gawa sa mata ng mga diktador.
Kaya nakasaad din sa Universal Declaration of Human Rights ang mga karapatan ng mga alagad ng sining. Ito ang sinasabi ng Artikulo 27.2 “Ang bawat tao’y may karapatan sa pangangalaga ng mga kapakanang moral at materyal bunga ng alinmang produksiyong pang-agham, pampanitikan, o pansining na siya ang may-akda.”
Inaanyayahan ang mga awtor, publisher, o tagapagmana ng copyright na sumali sa FILCOLS. Ito’y para mabigyang proteksiyon ang kanilang mga akda. Kailangan lamang ay mayroon kayong published works kung kayo ay awtor/publisher o nasa inyo ang kapangyarihang magmanage kung heirs kayo ng awtor. Wala pong membership fee. Kung may tanong hinggil sa tinalakay na paksa, mag-email lamang sa filcols@gmail.com.

Buhay na Titik: Ang Diktador at ang Karapatan ng mga Author
ni Alvin Buenaventura ng FILCOLS
Kahit kailan, hindi pa ako nakakakilala ng taong gustong mapasailalim sa isang diktador. Ayaw natin sa diktador na president, diktador na propesor, diktador na boss, diktador na empleyado (oo, meron no'n), o diktador na asawa.
Si Ferdinand Marcos ay ang diktador na pinabagsak natin at patuloy na kinamumuhian ng marami. Meron pa ngang naglagay ng bomba at nagpasabog sa higanteng bust niya sa La Union.
Ano kaya ang gagawin mo kapag nalaman mo na isa sa impluwensiya ni Marcos ay dala pa rin ng marami sa kanilang isip at gawa?
Noong 1977 ay inilabas ni Marcos ang Presidential Decree 1203. Ito ay ang compulsory licensing o reprinting ng mga librong madalas ginagamit sa mga schools.
Bilang diktador iniutos ni Marcos ang sapilitang pagpaparami ng kopya ng mga librong educational, scientific, at cultural. Ang mga reprint ay ibinibenta sa murang halaga. Walang nagawa ang mga author na may-ari ng copyright.
Pa-pogi points niya ito sa mga estudyante at aktibistang propesor. Syempre ang na-violate naman ay ang karapatan ng mga author.
Ginawa ito ni Marcos bilang “temporary or emergency measure” dahil mataas masyado ang presyo ng libro. At ayon sa PD 1203, mahal ang libro kapag lampas sa 35 pesos ang presyo nito.
Dahil sa utos ni Marcos, kaliwa’t kanan ang naging violation sa human rights ng mga author. Karapatan ng mga author ang copyright ayon sa Article 27.2 ng Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
Maraming publisher at photocopy shops ang yumaman sa pawis ng mga author. Naging gasgas na alibi kapag nagpa-photocopy ng mga libro ang “mahal kasi kaya pa-xerox na lang ako.”
Ito ang bukambibig ng marami, mapa-propesor at mapa-estudyante.
Noong 1995 ay naging batas ang Republic Act 8293 o ang Intellectual Property Code of the Philippines. Ayon sa RA 8293 ang PD 1203 ni Marcos ay wala nang bisa.
Kaya dapat ay respetuhin na ng lahat ang human rights ng mga author. Pero nangyayari ba ito?
Marami pa ring propesor at estudyante ang patuloy na yumuyurak sa karapatan ng mga author. Sinasabi nilang galit sila sa diktador, galit sila kay Marcos. Pero ang impluwensiya ni Marcos ay patuloy na dumadaloy sa kanilang isip at gawa.
Inaanyayahan ang mga awtor, publisher, o tagapagmana ng copyright na sumali sa FILCOLS. Ito’y para mabigyang proteksiyon ang kanilang mga akda. Kailangan lamang ay mayroon kayong published works kung kayo ay awtor/publisher o nasa inyo ang kapangyarihang magmanage kung heirs kayo ng awtor. Wala pong membership fee.

Noong 1995 ay naging batas ang Republic Act 8293 o ang Intellectual Property Code of the Philippines. Ayon sa RA 8293 ang PD 1203 ni Marcos ay wala nang bisa.
Kaya dapat ay respetuhin na ng lahat ang human rights ng mga author. Pero nangyayari ba ito?
Marami pa ring propesor at estudyante ang patuloy na yumuyurak sa karapatan ng mga author. Sinasabi nilang galit sila sa diktador, galit sila kay Marcos. Pero ang impluwensiya ni Marcos ay patuloy na dumadaloy sa kanilang isip at gawa.
Inaanyayahan ang mga awtor, publisher, o tagapagmana ng copyright na sumali sa FILCOLS. Ito’y para mabigyang proteksiyon ang kanilang mga akda. Kailangan lamang ay mayroon kayong published works kung kayo ay awtor/publisher o nasa inyo ang kapangyarihang magmanage kung heirs kayo ng awtor. Wala pong membership fee. Kung may tanong hinggil sa tinalakay na paksa, mag-email lamang sa filcols@gmail.com.

Buhay na Titik: Ang Papel ng National Library
ni Alvin J. Buenaventura ng FILCOLS
Alam mo bang ang Bible ay isang library?
Oo. Isa itong maliit na library dahil binubuo ito ng iba’t ibang libro na isinulat ng iba’t ibang tao sa iba’t ibang lugar at panahon.
Mahalaga ang library dahil ito ang siyang nagiging treasure chest ng mga tradition, kultura, at kasaysayan.
Noong gawa pa sa putik ang mga libro, ito ay niluluto sa pugon para tumigas. Baked books kumbaga. Libo-libo ang baked books na nadiskubre sa Nineveh, isang lumang city sa Iraq.
Ang mga Greek ay meron ding library at isa sa pinakasikat ay ang Library of Alexandria. Ito ang nagsilbing sentro ng kultura at pagkatuto bago sumikat ang mga Romano.
Ang library naman ng mga Romano ay kadalasang nahahati sa dalawang uri. Ang isa ay para sa mga librong nakasulat sa Greek at ang isa ay para sa mga nakasulat sa Latin. Parang ngayon, may English at Filipino books section.
Siyempre ang mga Chinese, hindi magpapahuli. Meron silang mga libro na nakasulat sa silk. At pati ang lalagyan ay gawa sa silk. Wala tayong panama doon.
Noong bumagsak ang Roman Empire, at nagkagera-gera sa Europa, mahalaga ang mga library sa loob ng mga monasteryo at simbahang Katoliko dahil sila ang nagtatago ng mga sinaunang libro.
Marami sa mga bagong kaalaman natin ay mula sa mga librong inalagaan ng mga monk. Halimbawa ay ang buhay ni Julius Ceasar, mga kaalaman tungkol sa algebra, geometry, at philosophy.
Kaya lahat ng mga bansa mayaman o mahirap man ay gumagawa ng paraan para makapagtayo at makapagbukas ng sariling National Library.
Meron na tayong maliit na library noong 1887 na nasa Intramuros. Itinaguyod ito ng mga Espanyol. Pero nagkaroon lang tayo ng talagang National Library natin noong panahon na ng mga Kano, sa pamamagitan ng Act no. 96 ng Philippine Commission noong 1901.
Oo, 110 years old na ang ating National Library! 'Yong building sa T. M. Kalaw ay naitayo lang noong 1961. Medyo late na. Maraming lugar ang pinaglipat-lipatan bago tayo nagkaroon ng permanenteng building.
Kung ang Bible ang siyang naging mobile library ng mga Kristiyano at naging instrumento sa pagpapalaganap sa kuwento ni Jesus, ang ating National Library at mga satellite librariy nito ang instrumento sa pagpapalaganap sa kuwento ng mga Pinoy para sa mga kabataan at sa mga dayuhan.
Inaanyayahan ang mga awtor, publisher, o tagapagmana ng copyright na sumali sa FILCOLS. Ito’y para mabigyang proteksiyon ang kanilang mga akda. Kailangan lamang ay mayroon kayong published works kung kayo ay awtor/publisher o nasa inyo ang kapangyarihang magmanage kung heirs kayo ng awtor. Wala pong membership fee. Kung may tanong hinggil sa tinalakay na paksa, mag-email lamang sa filcols@gmail.com.
