Breathtaking Batanes, for the second time around

BYAHILO is turning four this November 2! And what a better way to start this new chapter of travel blogging than to visit the country?s northernmost province for the second time around.

This Cris Rios is a Thief!

Last October 28, I discovered that one of my photo was used by the officiate website of the Masskara Festival. It could have been OK. I should have been proud that my work got featured there. What bothers me is that my photo was used without my permission.

So I immediately contacted the administrator of the website informing them that my photo was used without my permission. I them demanded an apology from them.

Havaianas Sandals made me a kid again!

Just recently, Havaianas held a family day at the Bonifacio High Street featuring street games that we have used to play.

Bacolod Masskara Festival Official Site stole my Photo!

Just today, I discovered that the Bacolod City Masskara Festival Official Website has used my image without my permission. And I am really pissed.

Imagine I had a hard time in obtaining a Media ID for myself and my 2 other guests just to shoot at the plaza. I also have to shell out thousands of pesos for my airfare just to shoot this event.

But what did the Masskara Festival Organizers did (or at least their website administrators)? Just copied my image without my permission and placed it on their website. Simple as it is. No credits, no backlinks.

So what do you call that? Stealing. Period. It IS stealing.
