Hi! I would like to inquire on the following: 1) Is the act of engaging local authors for creation, publishing and sale of content in hard copy format like books, manuscripts, journals and digital format like e-books, online services and digital libraries covered under the term mass media and will be subject to 100% Filipino requirement? 2) What if the entity will only be engaged in printing and not actual publication of the documents? Will it fall under the coverage of mass media?

Your Request You asked for Is the business of publishing covered under the term mass media?. Response to Request Your FOI request is approved. I enclose a copy of some of the information you requested. (1) We need more context with this question. But under the PH Constitution, Section 11. (1) "The ownership and management of mass media shall be limited to citizens of the Philippines, or to corporations, cooperatives or associations, wholly-owned and managed by such citizens". (2) We need a bit more context here, but the technical answer is that printing by itself is a function of media enterprises, as well as allied services. Thank you.
