I WANT to make it of record that - subject to certain conditions - I am declaring my Philippine travel photographs to be part of the public domain. This means that any picture I uploaded in my social networking sites, i.e. multiply and facebook, showing tourist spots (and related sites) in the Philippines can be copied and distributed by anyone even without acknowledging me. It is my hope that by doing this, I would be doing my part to encourage my fellow Filipinos to explore our very beautiful country, and for them to do so while young.
(...And besides, I'm fully at peace with the fact that I'll never be making money from my photographs so I might as well give some away for free.)

Here are the conditions:
1. Photos showing myself or anybody I know are not included in this declaration. (As this condition might have a lot of gray areas, you can send me a private message to inquire whether a particular picture is covered by this declaration.)
2. You are not allowed to claim the photographs as your creation, nor are you allowed to use it as a template for digital manipulation of any sort and pass it off as your work.
3. I reserve the right to withdraw this declaration at any future time. Such withdrawal however will not be retroactive and would only apply to any subsequent photograph posted.
