1. Extension of the Corporate Term of FILSCAP for another 50 years,
2. Addition of a new corporate purpose which is to grant medical, calamity and funeral benefit to composers, authors and music publishers, and
3. Incorporation of the BIR-required amendments for tax exemption. 

The referendum was attended by 691 of our 914 members.  95 members were present in person and 596 members were present by proxy. Out of the 691 members who attended and voted during the referendum, 687 voted to approve to the 1^st amendment, 691 voted to approve the 2^nd amendment, and 687 voted to approve the 3^rd amendment.  

We would like to thank everyone who participated in the referendum and we hope that more members will participate in the future activities and assemblies of FILSCAP.

BMAT MP3 Submission

NOTICE TO MEMBERS: In our continuing efforts to improve our monitoring and distribution system, we recently employed the services of BMAT. The software, known as Vericast, uses “fingerprinting” technology to identify songs played on radio, internet radio, TV and other media based on “reference database” consisting of original sound recordings (OSRs) of the musical compositions whose public performance rights are assigned to FILSCAP. BMAT will help FILSCAP ensure the accuracy in monitoring music performed on television and radio stations initially in Metro Manila.
