The subject of the photos is a sculpture by Eduardo Castrillo unveiled in the 1970s. Castrillo died in 2016 and copyright for sculptures in the Philippines lasts for 50 years after its sculptor's death. So until 2067, publication of photos of this monument would need the consent of the author's heirs since they are considered derivatives. There is also no FoP in the Philippines.

Thanks for your messages and good afternoon from hereat Bulacan, Philippines; before I took pictures of the landmarks in Santa Cruz, Manila, I proceeded to the nearby Barangay hall of the area concerned and inquired about the tourist spots; I was told that all the works thereat are owned by the City of Manila Government and some of the National Government, hence exempted from the coverage of prohibitions on Copyright law; I was granted express permission, and everybody takes selfies thereat; hence, I respectfully submit to the sound discretion of editors on the matter and very sincerely Judgefloro (talk) 04:58, 4 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted: per nomination. We need permission from the sculptor or their heirs, not from the government, city or national. --Green Giant (talk) 18:49, 24 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
