sa fb bai kay naka post mana, then akung na realize ako man ang photos nga gigamit ug akung gitande sa akung shoot naaaaahhh copycat jud

friendship siguro na nimo sa FB ang nagpabuhat sa poster, bro nakauyon sa imo photo. Kaning imo model ani bro nakahibalo na sad nga model siya sa San Carlos City poster? Maayo gani bro imo nabantayan ni.

Tsk tsk. Even the watermark didn't deter the thief from doing this.

The rest already suggested that you write a letter to the organizers of the event but another thing you can do is take this photo and put it in your FB saying the image was stolen from you. Itapad imo original like you did here.

You can also probably e-mail FB support to report the offense (basaha sa if naa ba rules against this sa FB). I haven't experienced seeing my photos being used in commercial ads but I've seen some people take my photos of themselves and putting it in FB and not saying they got it from me implying sila nagkuha. Anyway, since they're not making money from them ako na lang pasagdan.

Good luck ani bai.
