The House Committee of Trade and Industry on Tuesday approved the proposed comprehensive reform of the Intellectual Property Code, and a bill allowing the Intellectual Property Office of the Philippines to block web sites showing infringed content.

Albay Rep. Joey Sarte Salceda said House Bill 799 and House Bill 7028 seek to support Filipino digital creatives.

“You cannot own what you cannot defend. That’s why these powers are just as important as actions to promote content creation,” he added. “And more media and creatives are moving towards the digital space. Vivamax, IWantTV, among others create and stream Filipino content. They will lose out, along with the jobs they create, if we don’t block pirated content,” he said.

“Such losses were most felt during the 2020 Metro Manila Firm Festival, which had to migrate to streaming due to Covid-19 restrictions,” he said.
