00:00Do you have the rights of the royalty of your songs?
00:04Do you have the fee, the payment or something?
00:11And where does it come from?
00:13Which production or record label?
00:16Yeah, ViCore for example is one.
00:19And then Universal Records is another.
00:23You know, Dyna Records, Alpha.
00:27Unfortunately, since record sales are almost zero now, nobody buys records, nobody buys CDs anymore.
00:36They download and so it's hard to quantify because I have not been receiving my checks from those recording companies.
00:50Are you frustrated that we have these songs that are not protected?
00:56It's all over the net.
00:58And on Spotify.
00:59And there are some revives of songs.
01:03There are some remixes, including the Mamang Sorbetero.
01:06That's right now.
01:08So I feel frustrated, but more so, I feel frustrated for the young singer-songwriters in this country.
01:16What is the future that they can look forward to?
01:19You know what I mean?
01:21Where can they get their income?
01:24You see?
01:26Kaya na po pa na-stop yung payment, yung checks ninyo na tatatanggap.
01:31That's curious po lang po.
01:35What?
01:36Anong time na nag-stop?
01:38About 2.30 in the afternoon of a year.
01:43Joke lang.
01:44Sorry, I like to joke.
01:45I like to make the moments lighter.
01:47I don't exactly remember, but I have not been receiving royalties anymore from the recording companies.
01:59So, I feel bad for the young songwriters in our country.
02:07Because how can they support their families?
02:10They have to look for other jobs.
02:13How frustrating, no?
02:14Bye.
