Philippines to Require License to Post Content
I’m attending a hearing tomorrow on a proposal by the Philippines’ National Telecommunications Commission that will require licenses for online content developers. Yes, you read that right. The Philippine government wants to require licenses for people to create and post content online. Under the proposal’s extremely broad definition of a content developer, you would need […]Click here to continue reading "Philippines to Require License to Post Content"...Philippines to Require License to Post Content

if the government is advertising for people to post online resumes in looking for jobs,then what we are doing is an exemption to that.
No it isn’t. Resumes are content.

there is the term “commercial”
B REGISTRATION
1. Contents, Information, Applications and/or Electronic Games Providers, Contents Developers, Information Sources, Applications Developers, and Electronic Games Developers are required to have commercial presence in the country and shall secure Certificate of Registration (COR) from the Commission.
2. There shall be no nationality requirement for contents, information, applications and/or electronic games providers, contents, applications and/or electronic games developers and information sources.
3. The application for registration shall be filed and acted upon by the Commission not later than seven (7) working days from date of application.
4. The application shall include the following documents:
a. Valid registration from the Securities and Exchange Commission or from the Department of Trade and Industry and Articles of Incorporation;
b. Facilities lease agreement with duly enfranchised and certificated public telecommunications entity; and
5. The Certificate of Registration shall be valid for a maximum period of five (5) years. Applicants for registration may opt to apply for shorter period not shorter than one (1) year. Certificates of Registration shall be renewable.
Here’s how the proposal defines content providers:
Contents Developers – are persons or entities creating contents.
That means anyone who creates content, commercial or otherwise.
this is what the people who propose the law really meant
The law should say exactly what it means. Laws cannot be worded to welcome abuse.
And the law should do EXACTLY as it says, have NO EXCEPTIONS (politicians included, corrupt or clean, young and old, and us people that they should be serving). Once there are exceptions, corruption spreads, thus abuse happens.
Well,that exemption was because of the constitution.
The constitution states what should laws not touch(exemption) and the basic laws of the country.

The wording of the proposal does not match Cabarios’ answer. Here’s how the proposal defines content developers:
Contents Developers – are persons or entities creating contents.
That means anyone who creates content, paid or otherwise.
Hello Sir Mike, Thank you for living a comment on my blog. Its a nice feeling when you meet new people online. Nice to meet you sir.
According to Mr Cabario’s email, if we post information for free, then we are not required to have this “license thingy”. But looking at your point, indeed I agree by definition of Contents Developers provided by NTC we are included whether we post for free or not.
I think, the NTC people should revise or clear up their definition of content developers. Probably these people, who created the rules for this proposal are not familiar to these things. I could be wrong but its possible.
I’m sure, with the help of GOD and the cooperation of people involve, we can settle this wherein everybody will be happy.
GOD BLESS. 🙂

P.S.: May I ask sir, how were you able to come across my blog and found out that I wrote something about the license proposal issue? Its really amazing…I’ll add your link to my blog. Again, nice to meet you sir and GOD BLESS.
You’re welcome.
Absolutely.
Another commenter posted a link. 🙂
why not e-mail them to rephrase it.
i know the reason why they are wording this like this is because they have a similar policy on cd/dvd recorders which is only for the ones cashing for it but the law states it in a more ambiguous manner.
