Importer Ishagaturo (talk · contribs) is wrong in their claim. The exterior of the church is not 1960s, but is from 2000s. Only the interior of the building is PD (1960s), but the exterior is not and is still under architect's copyright. JWilz12345 (Talk|Contributions) 04:02, 15 December 2024 (UTC)

•  Comment Does the exterior or façade have the copyright of the cathedral restarted? Apparently, the renovation was done in 2008. Leandro Locsin died in 1994, so he only involved in the construction of the new cathedral, but not in its renovation. Ishagaturo (talk) 08:30, 15 December 2024 (UTC)

  @Ishagaturo Locsin's work was the old cathedral. Let's ignore the previous incarnations of Ozamiz Cathedral before the 1950s: let's consider the 1960 architecture as the older cathedral. The only thing that remains from Locsin's authorship is the interior of the building. The 2008 renovation drastically altered the exteriors. The façade is no longer the 1960 work of Locsin, but the 2008 renovation work of unknown/unnamed author. Substantial renovation, so new architectural copyright starting from 2008. Since we don't know who the renovating designer is, we will assume this is an anonymous work that will only fall out of copyright on January 1, 2059, 50+1 years after completion. Should the designer's name surfaces, then PD calculation is delayed to 50 more years after that designer's death (so possibly the new generation of Wikimedians will restore this image). Early undeletion is only possible if Republic Act 8293 is drastically reformed to introduce commercial-type Freedom of Panorama. But, as we all know, our Congress is too busy on matters that are better handled by courts, and House Bills 799, 2672, and 3838 as well as Senate Bill 2326 are waiting for their silent "deaths" upon the change of Congress (bills not acted upon die at the end of each Congress and will have to be refiled in the next Congress; that is, "back to zero").
