Ethical Considerations The project, a short documentary titled Going Digital, shares the narratives of students from De La Salle University-Manila during the remote learning setup. As the short documentary had a total of six participants, the implications of a peek into their personal lives, from their contributions of photos, videos, opinions, and their vicinity, the proponents made it a point that their consent was asked and secured before disclosing any information. In line with this, to show the gratitude of the proponents, they have given these participants a small Christmas gift amounting to Php 500, respectively, however, this has no bearing on the output or opinion shared by the participants as, by all means, it does not equate that off to a bribe.
The short documentary also used non-copyrighted stock footage in the form of photos, videos, and music, and a short news clip from the Youtube news channel of GMA Public Affairs, which are free for public use as they are available in the public domain. Moreover, the proponents credited the used materials to the short documentary. The proponents have consulted with their mentor and lawyers regarding the usage of this footage, and they were approved.
Provisions for intellectual property rights can be found in Republic Act No. 8293 (RA 8293), known as the “Intellectual Property Code of the Philippines,” in the 1987 Philippine Constitution.
To the best of my knowledge, the ethical issues listed above, if any, have been addressed in the project.
