Statement of the Director General on the new Republic Act 11904 or the PH Creative Industries Development Act

August 8, 2022

IPOPHL is pleased to see the Philippine Creative Industries Development (PCID) Bill now finally a law. Since the initiative to develop this measure began, IPOPHL has been in full support of and cooperation with Congress and the Senate to see this legislative measure come to fruition.

The PCID law mandates the creation of a long-term plan for the promotion and development of creative industries. It aims to spur efforts to sustain excellence in Filipinos’ creative endeavors through the protection of their intellectual property (IP) rights, among many other ways of support.

To deliver on these mandates, the law created the 19-member PCID Council, which IPOPHL is part of as an ex-officio member.

The PCID Law will surely provide IPOPHL its much-needed boost in raising IP awareness across the creative economy and capacitating sectors to protect their IP, especially their copyright and related rights.

Admittedly, more has to be done to address the lack of knowledge and understanding of IP rights among creative industries.

To bridge this gap, IPOPHL has been reaching out to creative talents through intensified awareness and education campaigns and its ongoing Copyright Plus Project.

Our momentum is fast accelerating as evidenced by the surge in copyright registrations and recordation at IPOPHL, which is one way to prove ownership over a work. 

In January to June this year, copyright registrations and recordation jumped by 129% year-on year to 1,722. 

As a member of the PCID Council, IPOPHL will assist in the drafting of the implementing rules and regulations of the new law. We also hope to expand the reach of our ongoing initiatives and also come up with new, relevant programs and projects to fulfill the goals of the PCID Act.

Rest assured that IPOPHL will be an active part of the entire nation in helping unlock the creative economy’s potential in advancing our economy and bringing further pride to the Filipino culture and identity.
