According to Intellectual Property Office (IPO) director general Adrian Cristobal Jr., the government is working with all concerned agencies to assure that efforts to curb piracy and protect intellectual property rights (IPR) are on high gear. "There is absolutely no reason to be put back in the Priority Watchlist next year or in the years to come."
