Hotels & lodging music in Philippines
Hotels need FILSCAP classes for works across lobby/rooms/outlets — plus recording CMOs. Not MY star+per-room MACP-only maths; not Indo Kepmen lumpsums.
Three things to remember
- Number / status: Use FILSCAP hotel / lodging rows on the January 2026 IPOPHL rate cards. Map outlets (F&B, ballroom, spa) — they may be separate classes.
- Who to pay: FILSCAP · PRM / SRRS. Keep the invoice / licence in the premises’ name and address.
- Not this: A final invoice from Thon · legal advice · collecting for CMOs. Verify before you wire.

Events inside hotels
Weddings and ticketed shows often need event/concert FILSCAP rows — not the silent lobby band.
