About Us

Championing the value of music and intellectual property rights of music creators have been our core mission for more than 50 years. The Filipino Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (FILSCAP) is a non-stock non-profit association of composers, lyricists and music publishers established in 1965 to primarily help music users get the necessary permission to use copyrighted local and foreign songs, and help music creators get royalties for the use of their songs. It is a member of the Paris-based International Confederation of Societies of Authors and Composers (CISAC), the umbrella organization for 232 creator rights management organizations worldwide.

FILSCAP has been duly accredited by the Intellectual Property Office of the Philippines to operate as a Collective Management Organization (CMO) for music creators and copyright owners, and to primarily license the public playing, broadcast and streaming of the songs of its members, and the members of its affiliate foreign societies. Currently, FILSCAP’s repertoire covers over 20 million copyrighted local and foreign songs.

How We Help Creative Industries

  • Licensing: FILSCAP grants licenses for the public performance, broadcast, streaming, or use of songs by its members and foreign affiliates. This includes usage in establishments like restaurants, cafes, bars, television, radio, movies, etc.
  • Royalty Collection: FILSCAP meticulously collects royalties from the licenses they issue.
  • Royalty Distribution: These royalties are then distributed to the rightful composers, lyricists, and publishers both locally and internationally.
  • Advocacy: FILSCAP works to protect intellectual property rights (IPRs) for music creators and actively educates the public about the importance of copyright laws.
