And probably this is the most disheartening among them all. This time its BYAHILO vs a Local Government website.
If the goverment itself is violating the intellectual property rights of a person how can it (government) protect and uphold the rights of every citizen?
This is not the first time that Panay News, a local newspaper based in Iloilo City has used my images without my permission.
Last year, they used one of my photos in their online version. It was also last year when their Ilonggo language paper HUBLAS used two of my photographs which even included the byahilo.com watermarks.
But this year is a different story. They didn’t just 2, but four of my photographs that were taken between Dinagyang 2006 to 2008.
This year’s Dinagyang Festival theme is so appropriate to the occasion. Every year, the country’s Best Tourism Spectacle is just getting bigger and better each year.

Here are just some of the photos I took during the Dinagyang Festival 2009 here in Iloilo City. More photos to come…
