FILCOLS Executive Director Alvin Buenaventura served as the moderator on the last day of the two-day conference that featured plenary sessions and workshops on how publishers can survive and eventually thrive in the digital age. Local publishers and key industry players were present.
On the first day, Sandoval shared the limelight with Neni Sta. Romana Cruz, the new NBDB Chair. She also delivered the opening remarks.
Bill McCoy, executive director of the International Digital Publishing forum, talked about Digital Publishing Standards with an overview of SML, ePub, NextPub, Mobipocket and other digital publishing formats through videoconference.
Vibe Technologies through Chris Datol shared the basic steps for publishers on building compliant e-books for cross-platform publishing.
Nelson John, a consultant for Technical Solutions Group in Adobe Southeast Asia specializing in the Creative Product Suites. Through videoconferencing as well, he talked about generating direct sales with a B2C platform.
A plenary session was held where case studies of digital publishing projects worldwide were presented as well as the new tablet education initiatives in Philippines and the corresponding roll out of digital content by Philippine educational publishers. Speakers were Neil Andrew Nocon, a board member of the second district of Laguna, Jose Maria "Toots" Policarpio, the executive director of Diwa Learning Systems and the Vice-President of Philippine Educational Publishers Association or PEPA, and Engineer Rodolfo "Jun" Lozada, Jr., the technology consultant for the De La Salle University.

NBDB Executive Director Andrea Pasion-Flores delivered the closing remarks by challenging everyone to maintain the quality of their content to help in the development of the Philippines as the publishing hub of Asia.

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.

IP Made E-Z held in FEU with Super Pop Star Writer Eros Atalia
IP Made E-Z was held at the University Conference Center, G/F Institute of Arts and Sciences Building, Far Eastern University, Manila last 17 August 2011 from 9:00 am to 12:00 noon.
More than one hundred individuals graced the event. Some were FEU faculty members and some were students coming from Literature, Math, Hotel and Restaurant Management, Political Science, Education, Medical Technology, Communication and Psychology courses. Writers from the FEU Advocates and a representative from the FEU Publishing Office were also present.
The event started with the National Anthem and a prayer.
Then Professor Martin Lopez, the Executive Director, Office of the President's Committee on Culture, formally welcomed everyone to the event.
Alvin Buenaventura, the executive director of FILCOLS, talked about the basics of intellectual property and copyright. He also explained the connection of IP to the Philippine economics, education and academic publishing.
He tackled everything in conversational Filipino to make intellectual property concepts and issues less agonizing and intimidating for the Filipino students. He inserted some anecdotes and jokes to generate more interest from the audience which in turn had fun listening to even the most difficult concepts in Intellectual Property.
Then the host introduced Eros Atalia, writer from the Visprint Publishing (and numerous publishing houses). He wrote the best-selling novel Ligo na U, Lapit na Me where the people’s favourite Cinemalaya 2011 movie with the same title was based. Atalia presented writing from the point of view of the creator. He also talked about the seriousness of writing about humor. he emphasized that it’s more difficult to make people laugh than the other way around. He also invited everyone to buy his next book “Kung Bakit Hindi pa Tayo Sasakupin ng mga Alien sa 2012” from Visprint.
After Atalia’s laughter-filled presentation came the question and answer portion for both of the speakers.
There were not enough time to tackle all of the questions from the audience. Buenaventura invited everyone to send queries to FILCOLS through filcols@gmail.com.
Prof. Joeven Castro, Associate Professor from the Communications Department and Head of the Research Cluster acknowledged the individuals and the offices that made the event possible: FEU Advocates, Communications Department and the Office of the President's Committee on Culture of FEU, FILCOLS, Visprint Publishing and IPOPHL.
FILCOLS’ IP made E-Z, formerly named IP in the Age of Jejemon, is organized in coordination with Visprint Publishing through Nida Ramirez-Gatuz and Intellectual Property Office of the Philippines through its Director General Atty. Ricardo Blancaflor and Atty. Louie Andrew Calvario.
IP Made E-Z aims to raise the students’ awareness on IP and copyright and to help them gain more knowledge about what they can do for the country through respect for IP. The first lectures were held in University of Santo Tomas, Ateneo de Naga University, Global City Innovative College in Taguig and De La Salle Lipa.
FILCOLS receives support from the Norwegian Copyright Development Association (NORCODE) and Kopinor. NORCODE is an international copyright development group funded by five copyright societies namely KOPINOR, GRAMO, TONO, BONO and NORWACO. KOPINOR is the reproduction rights (RRO) of Norway while FILCOLS is the RRO of the Philippines.
FILCOLS encourage the heads of the universities and colleges to hold similar events in their respective campuses. The activity will help develop more responsible members of the academe, students, professors, scholars and writers.
FILCOLS is open to invitations and proposals in and outside of Metro Manila. Send queries to filcols@gmail.com.

Diskusyon sa IP, Ipinagtibay
mula sa online na bersiyon ng FEU Advocate
"Gusto nating ipaalam sa lahat ng gumagamit ng copyrighted materials na ang copyright ay isang human right. Kung naintindihan natin na human right ito, ipaglalaban at rerespetuhin natin ito," sabi ni Alvin Buenaventura, FILCOLS Executive Director.
Ipinaliwanag ni Buenaventura ang iba't-ibang uri ng IP katulad ng patent, trademark at ang karapatang-sipi. Binanggit din niya ang mga karapatang nakapaloob sa IP at kung paano nito mapapabuti ang may-akda, ang mambabasa at ang bansa.
Ayon sa kanya, ang IP ay ang mga produkto ng kaisipan ng tao at katulad ng iba pang pag-aari, ito ay may karapatang dapat bigyan ng karampatang pagrespeto alinsunod sa Universal Declaration of Human Rights article 27 at 23.
Nakasaad sa Universal Declaration of Human Rights article 27 (2) na "Ang lahat ay may karapatan upang protektahan ang moral at materyal na interes buhat sa mga maka-agham, malikhaing gawa kung saan siya ang may-akda nito"; samantalang nakalathala naman sa artikulo 23 "Ang lahat na naghanapbuhay ay dapat makatanggap ng tamang kabayaran para masiguro na mapupunan nito ang pangangailangan niya at ang kaniyang pamilya."
"Ang goal ng event na ito ay upang matulungan ang Unibersidad ng [kaalaman sa] crafting the university copyright policy, makapagsulat ang mga estudyante nito ng mga akda at make a respect for copyright a part of their life," ani Buenaventura.
Samantala, tinalakay naman ni Eros Atalia, manunulat ng Cinemalaya 2011 entry na Ligo Na U, Lapit Na Me, ang malikhaing pagsusulat kabilang na ang mga maikling kuwento, tula, nobela at iba pa kung paano makakalikha nito.
"Art is a selective recreation of reality according to an artist's metaphysical value of judgement," wika ni Atalia.
Ayon sa kanya, iba't-iba ang pagkakaintindi natin sa realidad kaya maaari tayong makabuo ng isang malikhaing gawa mula sa mga ito. Kaugnay nito, hinimok niya na gumawa ng mga akda ang mga mag-aaral at propesor at dapat magkaroon ito ng karapatang-sipi.
Ang FILCOLS ay may 200 na miyembro para sa may-akda at manlilimbag. Ito ay nagbibigay ng seminar sa buong Pilipinas upang makaimpluwensiya sa mga tao para sa mga ginawang batas ukol sa karapatang-sipi at lumagda rin ito ng kasunduan sa 10 bansa na rerespeto sa mga karapatang-sipi ng Pilipinas.

All Because of Literature
All Because of Literature
written by Beverly W. Siy
The 2nd Manila International Literary Festival entitled The Great
Philippine Book Café was a huge success. It was held at the Ayala
Museum, Makati last November 16 to 18, 2011. Writers, publishers,
reading enthusiasts, artists and interested individuals flocked to
Ayala Museum every single day of the Fest.
Keynote speech entitled Where in the world is the Filipino Writer? was
delivered by no less than the great critic and researcher Resil R.
Mojares of Cebu. Two Pulitzer Prize winners Edward P. Jones (The Known
World, 2004) and Junot Diaz (The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao,
2008) flew in from the US just for this event. They talked about
writing from the margins. Both of them are from minority backgrounds
in the US and yet their works were able to penetrate the mainstream of American
publishing. In the next few days, Jones and Diaz met and talked with
the Filipino audience (mostly writers as well). Book signing after
their talks were also held.
On the first day, the following topics were discussed by experts from
different parts of the country and from abroad: novel writing, hunting
manuscripts and selling them to the publishers, world book market,
world readership, putting literature within context, literary theories
and more.
On the second day, writing away from home, cross-cultural experiences,
literature that offends, assessment of the Philippine book industry,
writing for young adults, reaching women readers, writing crime,
horror and suspense, Philippine children’s literature for the world,
writing memoir, features for folktales, myths, legends in fiction,
many forms of the novel, being a bestseller and writing non-fiction
were tackled.
On the third and last day: writing about war/conflict, writing in the
regional language, mentoring the writer, the many poetic forms,
transforming literature into movies, bringing literature to life by
different media and the traditional bonding/family moment, strategies
to make kids love reading, promotion for the books and
the authors, humor writing, the basics of fiction and non-fiction
writing were discussed.
The atmosphere was strikingly similar to that of the fiestas.
Indeed, it was a very productive and creative (and of course,
colourful) way to show the world that Filipino writers and the
Philippine publishing industry have excellent products and they need
help to get their works out there in the global arena.
The event was organized by National Book Development Board headed by the
indefatigable Atty. Andrea Pasion-Flores with support from Filipinas
Heritage Library, Philippine Airlines, National Book Store, Penguin,
Central Books, Vibal Foundation, Book Development Association of the
Philippines, Ayala Museum, Manila Bulletin and the Embassy of the US
Manila.
Filipinas Copyright Licensing Society or FILCOLS joined the
celebration of the Philippine Book Development Month (through the
aforementioned event). FILCOLS Executive Officer for Membership and
Documentation Beverly W. Siy came as a speaker and as a participant as
well. Her sessions included: When Literature Offends, Writing the Woman
Reader and What's so Funny (humor writing).
This is how a sweet November transforms into the busiest month of the year. And all because of literature.

NOBYEMBRE 2011- 15th Philippine Book Development Month
NOBYEMBRE 2011- 15th Philippine Book Development Month
9 Nobyembre 2011
Buhay na Titik
ni Alvin Buenaventura ng FILCOLS
Ang Philippine Book Development Month ay ipinagdiriwang tuwing Nobyembre.
Ang selebrasyon ay pinangungunahan ng National Book Development Board. Isang ahensiya ng gobyerno ang NBDB na inatasan ng batas na palaguin ang industriya ng paglilimbag ng libro sa bansa.
Ang mga paaralan sa iba’t ibang panig ng bansa ay may kanya-kanyang pakulo sa pagdaraos ng buwan ng pagpapalago ng Pinoy books. May mga poster making contest, storytelling session, at read along ng mga sikat at papasikat pa lang na mga akdang Pinoy.
Ang highlight ng selebrasyon para sa 15th Philippine Book Development Month ay ang Manila International Literary Festival.
Bukod sa sikat na Pinoy authors tulad nina Butch Dalisay at Jun Balde, nag-imbita rin ang NBDB ng mga foreigner tulad nina Junot Diaz at Edward P. Jones.
Si Dalisay ang nagsulat ng “Soledad’s Sister” na short-listed sa Man Asian Literary Awards. Napakarami na niyang naisulat na akda bukod sa Soledad’s Sister.
Ito namang si Balde, tatlo sa kanyang sampung aklat ay tumanggap ng National Book Award.
Si Diaz ang sumulat ng nobelang “The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao.” Nagwagi siya ng Pulitzer Prize para sa akdang ito.
Samantala, si Jones naman ang nagsulat ng “The Known World” na nanalo rin ng Pulitzer Prize.
Ang Pulitzer Prize ay itinaguyod sa Amerika ng publisher na si Joseph Pulitzer para sa magagaling na akda sa larangan ng journalism, literature, at music. Maliban sa sertipiko ay may premyo ring sampung libong dolyares ang akdang mapipili.
Bakit kailangang pagtagpuin sa Manila International Literary Festival ang mga Pinoy at foreigners? Kasi sa pamamagitan ng mga ganitong event, lalong lumalago ang publishing industry.
Natututo ang mga Pinoy sa mga bisita. At nakikilala naman ng mga dayuhan ang mga Pinoy author at ang mga gawa nila. Ito ang nagiging daan para sa mga joint publishing venture o di kaya ay distribution ng Pinoy works sa kanilang mga bansa.
Tatlong araw ang festival at siyempre pa, kasama sa mga pag-uusapan ang mga paksang tulad ng pagsusulat sa Regional Language, ang Philippine Children’s Literature for the World, at iba pa.
Para sa karagdagang detalye, bisitahin ang www.manilaliteraryfestival.com at ang www.nbdb.gov.ph. Halina’t samahan kami sa pagdiriwang ng Philippine Book Development Month!
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: Galit Ako sa Copyright! Kahit Hindi Ko Ito Naiintindihan.
ni Alvin J. Buenaventura ng FILCOLS
Narinig ko ang mismong linyang ito mula sa bibig ng isang sikat na propesor: Galit ako sa copyright!
Idinagdag ko na lang ‘yong ikalawang linya sa pamagat ng column natin ngayong araw.
Bakit ko naman dinagdagan pa itong sinabi niya? Kasi naman, kung naiintindihan niya ang copyright ay dapat magpasalamat pa siya rito.
Ano ba ang copyright?
Ito ang proteksiyon na ibinibigay ng batas sa mga author ng literary, scientific, at artistic works. Ano ang mga halimbawa nito? Ang mga nobela, tula, at short story ay literary works. Ang mga librong isinulat para sa mga engineer, doctor, o nurse ay nasa hanay ng scientific works. Kasama naman sa artistic works ang paintings, illustrations, photographs, sculptures, visual arts, at designs.
Dalawa pang rights ang binibigyan ng proteksiyon sa ilalim ng copyright. Tama. Dalawang rights sa ilalim ng copyright.
Una, ang moral right. Ibig sabihin, hindi mo puwedeng kunin ang isang libro at burahin ang pangalan ng author at ilagay ang sarili mong pangalan. Violation ito ng moral right ng author.
Bakit? Dahil ang author lang ang may karapatang ilagay ang pangalan niya sa kanyang akda o gawa. Siya lang ang may kapangyarihang ilagay ang kahit anong pangalan o pen name na gusto niya sa kanyang akda o gawa.
Ikalawa, ang material right. Ibig sabihin, karapatan ng author na mag-benefit materially sa kanyang gawa. Kaya ang libro ay pinaparami ang kopya sa pamamagitan ng printing press para mas marami ang bumili nito. Kumikita dito ang author. At dahil binigyan niya ng kapangyarihan ang publisher (sa pamamagitan ng kontrata) ay kumikita rin ang publisher dito.
Bakit nila kailangang kumita? Hindi ba obvious na tao rin silang kailangan kumain, magbayad ng pamasahe, magbayad ng upa, magbayad ng tubig, magbayad ng kuryente, at magtaguyod ng pamilya?
Kabuhayan ito ng author. Kailangan nilang mabuhay mula rito. E, bakit dito pa? E, anong gusto mo? Mangholdap sila?
Ngayon, naiintindihan mo na ba ang copyright? Moral right at material right lang ‘yon. Dalawang M. Kapangalan ng isang masarap at matamis na tsokolate.
Balik tayo kay propesor.
Nagtanong ako sa kanya. E, Sir, ibig sabihin okey lang sa inyo na ang i-submit ng estudyante ninyo bilang fulfillment sa requirement ay ang inyong award-winning essay? Buburahin niya ang pangalan ninyo at ilalagay niya ang pangalan niya.
Sagot ni Sir: subukan niyang gawin iyon at hindi lang failing grade ang ibibigay ko sa kanya, ipapa-kick-out ko pa siya.
At bago ako umalis ay inalok ako ni Sir ng kanyang bagong libro. Mura lang naman daw. Below P200. Siyempre pa, bumili ako.
May karapatan nga ba itong propesor na ito na magalit sa copyright?

The 2nd Manila International Literary Festival set for this November
MANILA, Philippines - Two Pulitzer Prize winners Junot Diaz, author of the acclaimed The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao, and Edward P. Jones, author of the prizewinning novel The Known World will attend the 2nd Manila International Literary Festival from Nov. 16 to 18 at the Ayala Museum in Makati City.
This year’s theme is “The Great Philippine Book Café,” with a bow to one of the country’s own great writers, STAR columnist Alfred “Krip” Yuson, who wrote the award-winning The Great Philippine Jungle Energy Café.
Diaz and Jones will be joined by other renowned international and local authors, publishers, literary agents, and book lovers to celebrate books, literature, and the writing craft.
Diaz and Jones, are US writers of minority descent (Diaz’s family is from the Dominican Republic, while Jones is African-American). Together with Filipino writer and scholar Resil Mojares, they will be the festival’s plenary speakers. They will speak about writing from the margins. They will also be featured in conversations and book signings during the festival.
Diaz’s The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao follows the life of a geeky, overweight Dominican boy living in an impoverished American district and the curse that has plagued his family for generations. It won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 2008. Jones’s The Known World is a historical novel that chronicles the ownership of black slaves by free black people as well as by whites. It won the Pulitzer in 2004.
Aside from panels on different topics about reading and literature, The Great Philippine Book Café will also feature performances, book launches, and a book fair. The Festival hopes to serve the literary and publishing communities as a venue to make invaluable contacts and discuss issues important to them.
The Manila International Festival, organized in celebration of Philippine Book Development Month, is spearheaded by the National Book Development Board. For details, call 926-8253 or visit http://www.manilaliteraryfestival.com.
To register, call the Filipinas Heritage Library at (02) 8921801. Registration is at Php 2,000 per head, including the kit and meals.
