The Filipino Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers, Inc. (FILSCAP)

The Filipino Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers, Inc. (FILSCAP) is a non-stock, non-profit organization established in 1965. It is dedicated to enforcing the public performance and reproduction rights of composers, lyricists, music publishers, and copyright owners of musical works.
