Lord God,

We come to You in this time of great concern and uncertainty. As UwanPH approaches, we lift up to You the people of the Philippines, especially those in its path. We ask for Your divine protection and guidance for all in danger.

Please watch over every family, every child, every elderly person, and every individual who is vulnerable. Keep them safe in Your loving embrace and provide them with strength, courage, and peace amid the storm. Guide all first responders, rescue teams, and those working tirelessly to assist others, and bless their efforts.

Lord, we pray for those who may be unable to evacuate or who are in areas of extreme risk. Protect them from harm and give them the wisdom to make quick and safe decisions. We also pray for the swift recovery of those who may be impacted, that they may rebuild their homes and lives with Your help.

Grant all of us resilience in this challenging time, and remind us of the power of community, kindness, and faith. May Your will be done, and may Your peace reign over us, even as the storm rages.

We place our trust in You, knowing You are with us through all things. Amen 🙏

FYI

Your Rights as a Photographer

1. You own the copyright to every photo you take the moment you press the shutter.
• No need to register it (though registration helps if you want to sue).
• Copyright gives you the exclusive right to:
• Reproduce your photo (copy it, print it, post it online)
• Distribute it
• Display it publicly
• Make derivative works (edits, collages, etc.)

2. When Other People Can’t Use Your Photos

Other people can’t legally:
• Post your photo online without credit or permission
• Use it in their business, social media, or ads
• Sell it
• Claim it as their own work
• Edit or alter it without your okay

Even if your photo is online, it’s not automatically “free to use.” That’s a big myth.

3. When Other People Can Use Your Photos

They need:
• Your permission (e.g. written license or terms allowing use)
• Or they must prove it’s:
• Fair use (very limited and context-specific, e.g. commentary, criticism, news reporting, education)
• In the public domain
• Released under a Creative Commons license you set (e.g. CC BY)

What To Do If Someone Uses Your Photo Without Permission
1. Document it.
• Screenshot the post or website
• Note the date, platform, and user
2. Check how they’re using it.
• Commercial or personal?
• Credit given?
• Altered or used as-is?
3. Send a polite message.
• Often people remove the photo if asked nicely.
4. Issue a DMCA takedown notice.
• Platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube let you report copyright infringement.
5. Seek legal help if:
• The use is commercial
• It caused financial damage
• They refuse to remove it

In the Philippines
• Intellectual Property Code (RA 8293) protects your photographs automatically as copyrighted works.
• Copyright lasts your lifetime + 50 years after death.
• You can claim damages or file criminal charges for copyright infringement.

Tips to Protect Your Work

✅ Watermark your photos
✅ Post lower-res images online
✅ Include copyright info in file metadata (EXIF)
✅ Register your photos if possible (locally or via international copyright offices)

Bottom line:
• Your photos are your property.
• Others need your permission to use them.
• You have legal tools to protect your work.
