The long wait is over. After weeks — more than a month actually — of anxious anticipation, it has finally come!!! The golden paper… the all-important mark… the big C… it’s the COPYRIGHT of my original character, SALAKAY!!! Wohoo!!!
I was, and still am, drowned with euphoria when I saw it. Couldn’t contain myself and I just boastfully showed this off to the peeps in the house with a joker-like smile. I was like BAAM!!! and then BOOM!!! It got hold on me instantly… I was possessed!!!
Seriously, I was extremely happy when I got this. It says, “Certificate of Copyright Registration and Deposit… Owner: GERARD R. FERNANDEZ… Title of work: SALAKAY“. Finally, I now own all the rights of Salakay. Do you have any idea how sweet that sounds to me? I mean… I am OFFICIALLY the owner of Salakay! Yeah, baby!!! At that very moment, I stared at it like a hundred times… UNBELIEVABLE!!!
This is it… the first step of what is ahead of rhardozed *toot* I almost let go of this… motivation was a bit stationary and I was near to giving up. But prayers do get answered, guys!
Note: check out the history:
Date filed: June 04, 2008
Date processed: June 23, 2008
Returned to sender: July 22, 2008
*It was worth the wait…
So now, I am so excited to state this line:
SALAKAY © Copyright by Gerard R. Fernandez. All Rights Reserved.

Posted by Zriz at July 30, 2008, 6:34 pmde, how hard was it to get a copyright? did u consult a lawyer? naa man gud ko intellectual property law this sem but patents pa mi. hehe
Posted by karla at August 7, 2008, 9:25 amhi karl, nice of you to drop by. anyway, ok lang man. fill out lang sa copyright form. madownload man sauna ilang ilang form and instructions (classification etc.) sa website sa national library pero karon, down ila website. dayon, I had it notarized sa lawyer. since naa man sa manila ang office, ako lang gimail with the materials. plus P200 for the registration fee. ingana lang hehehe.
Posted by rhardo at August 7, 2008, 9:35 amwow, mao ba? dali ra diay kaayo nu? hehe anyway, congrats on your copyrighted art. panagad ra japon bsag sikat na ka ha?
