COSBOTS offers post-COVID-19 relief to members

According to a press release from COSBOTS, each member will receive P1,000 before the end of the year. COSBOTS says the decision was taken to align with government’s interventions to try and stimulate the creative industry with a total of P3 million to be disbursed.

"The current climate, under which creatives operate, is an environment which has seriously been affected by restrictions from April 2020 to mitigate the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, artists are slowly recovering from the disruption where they could not undertake their regular creative sector income-generating activities. From a royalty collection perspective, many businesses in the retail and tourism sectors got closed which meant a drop in revenue collection for COSBOTS," read the release.
