<\/div>\n
Present at the event were leaders and representatives from the Philippine Association of Law Schools, the Association of Law Students of the Philippines, the Legal Education Board, the Intellectual Property Office of the Philippines, the National Book Development Board, the Coordinating Council of Private Educational Associations of the Philippines, the National Bureau of Investigation, Association of Administrators in Hospitality Hotel and Restaurant Management Educational Institution, the Philippine Librarians Association, the Philippine Council of Deans and Educators in Business, the Philippine Association of Collegiate Schools of Business, Philippine Association for Teachers and Educators, Professional Criminologists Association of the Philippines, Association of Christian Schools, Colleges and Universities and the Philippine Educational Measurement and Evaluation Association.<\/span><\/div>\n

Piracy is defined as the unauthorized reproduction and distribution of copyrighted content, including but not limited to books, movies, music, and the like. In the Philippines, anti-piracy legislation is strengthened by Republic Act 8293 or the Intellectual Property Code of the Philippines that protects and secures the exclusive rights of scientists, inventors, artists and other gifted citizens to their intellectual property and creations.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The press conference is a part of REX\u2019s anti-piracy campaign, which was launched last September 16, 2022, at the Manila International Book Fair. The primary objective of the campaign is to curb, if not eradicate, content piracy by educating, communicating, and instilling among our colleagues, families, and children a true appreciation of the value of one\u2019s own work. REX\u2019s efforts in this direction are also in recognition and support of the relentless hard work of intellectual property law enforcement agencies in the country.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cWe should continue to educate, communicate, and instill among our colleagues, families, and children a true appreciation of the value of one\u2019s own work. In this sense, we are all duty-bearers. But above that, we are Filipinos,\u201d said Atty. Dominador Buhain, chairman of Rex Education. \u201c Aside from our laws, what also binds us are our values, our sense of\u00a0pakikipagkapwa<\/i>, of\u00a0pagpapakatao<\/i>, our pride in our own work, and our respect for each other and of each other\u2019s work.\u201d<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Over the past year, the campaign has gained the attention of various organizations with similar sentiments. Stakeholders from the education sector, along with consumers and learners, have all come together to express their support for the movement. Above all, there is a call to protect creators and all their intellectual property in all its forms.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cThroughout our rich history, we recognize and respect one truth about what we do: We are able to accomplish so much because of our people. REX has immense pride for the talented and hardworking individuals who pour their creativity, knowledge, and skills in the development of our learning materials, and these are not limited to books,\u201d said Atty. Dominador Buhain, chairman of Rex Education.<\/span><\/div>\n
