How do I secure copyright in the Philippines for a book I wrote?


IPO
Albina asks:

I have just finished a book and I’m planning on self-publishing and reproducing it. However, it seems I’ve overlooked the issue of copyright. How exactly does one secure copyright to things like books here in the Philippines? Do I go to the IPO, or some government office? How long should the process take and how much will it cost?

Thanks in advance.

    The registration fee for a copyright is P200.00 plus two documentary stamps worth P 10.00 each, to be affixed at the back of the application form and the certificate of copyright registration.

    You must send two copies of the manuscript and an application.

    The copies must NOT contain a copyright notice.

    and, if you are near the National Library you can also have an application form for a copyright.
