Editing Work for hire (section)

=== Philippines ===

The [[copyright law of the Philippines]] provides for allocation of copyright ownership between employees and employers:
{{Quote
|text=In the case of work created by an author during and in the course of his employment, the copyright shall belong to:
(a) The employee, if the creation of the object of copyright is not a part of his regular duties even if the employee uses the time, facilities and materials of the employer.
(b) The employer, if the work is the result of the performance of his regularly-assigned duties, unless there is an agreement, express or implied, to the contrary.
|source=8293/2015 Section 178.3
}}

However, when a work is "commissioned by a person other than an employer of the author", the law provides the client with ownership of the physical copy of the work, but the copyright to the work remains with the creator unless there is a written agreement to the contrary. (8293/2015 Section 178.4)
