Cong. Isidro Ungab: EXPOSED!

Congressman Isidro Ungab is a notable Filipino politician. He currently represents the Third District of Davao City in the House of Representatives of the Philippines. Recently, he has been in the news for bringing the issue of alleged blanks in the expenditure items of the 2025 national budget to the Supreme Court. He claims that the Bicameral Committee report had several blank spaces for amounts, which he believes could affect the legality of the budget.

Copyright Act of 1976 is a significant piece of legislation that governs copyright law. One of the key components of this act is Section 107, which outlines the "fair use" doctrine.

Section 107 states that the fair use of a copyrighted work, such as for purposes of criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, or research, is not considered an infringement of copyright. To determine whether a particular use qualifies as fair use, courts consider factors such as:

1. The purpose and character of the use (e.g., whether it's for commercial or nonprofit educational purposes)
2. The nature of the copyrighted work
3. The amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole
4. The effect of the use on the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work

This provision allows for some flexibility in using copyrighted material without permission, especially for purposes that benefit society, like education and commentary.
