    Photo plagiarist said financial woes made him steal pic
    September 24, 2013 9:14pm


    The 22-year-old amateur photographer who has come under fire for submitting somebody else's work as his own to a photo contest said he was forced to commit plagiarism because of financial troubles.

    In a report that aired on GMA's "24 Oras" Tuesday, Mark Joseph Solis, a graduate student at the University of the Philippines in Diliman, said he wanted to win the photo contest organized by the Chilean Embassy because he wanted to help support his family and pay household bills.

    "Hirap din [kasi kami] sa buhay. Minsan gusto mo rin ng gamit kahit papaano, minsan kapos sa pang-tuition. In fact, hindi pa ako nakakabayad ng tuition ko sa UP. [Gusto ko ring] makapagbigay ako sa pamilya ko," he said.

    "Sorry po sa nagawa ko, kay Mr. Smith, sa Chilean embassy, sa UP dahil nadadamay sila dito [at] sa iba pa na nasaktan ko. Humihingi ho ako ng dispensa," he said.

    In the same report, Solis admitted that he submitted another photo that was not his own for a contest sponsored by the Office of the Presidential Adviser on the Peace Process (OPAPP) in 2011.

    In a statement posted Tuesday on the agency's website, Atty. Jomer Aquino of the OPAPP Legal and Security Unit said that OPAPP is already conducting its own investigation to determine whether Solis also plagiarized the photo he submitted to win the contest.

    "Let it be known that Mr. Solis also won in the 'Say Peace Photo Contest' sponsored by OPAPP in 2011. OPAPP is now conducting its own investigation in order to find out whether Mr. Solis has committed same infraction in the said contest. If proven guilty, OPAPP will not hesitate to exercise legal options to rectify the wrong done by Solis," Aquino said.

    Solis said he is willing to return the prize money he won from the OPAPP contest.

    Throw him in the slammer, returning the prizes is not enough. He shamed his school and us Filipinos.

    Someone posted this on FB in reply to that. It's public so i guess it's fine to post it here:

    Maricris R. Valte:
    is watching Mark Solis' interview on GMA News TV, where he claims that money problems forced him to resort to misrepresenting himself. I want to puke! I've seen his house in Las Pinas and the venue of the GMA-7 interview doesn't look anything close to his house. He has more expensive gadgets than I have! I challenge the fact-finding committee of UP to investigate his and his family's lifestyle. At magkano ba naman ang tuition fee sa UP? Mas mahal pa yung Docksides niya kesa sa 3 units, at mas mahal pa ang i-pad niya kesa sa 9 units sa NCPAG! Besides, akala ko ba teaching assistant daw siya ni Alex Brillantes? That entitles him to free tuition, may stipend pa siya!

    Utang na loob, sobra-sobra nang pang-iinsulto sa katalinuhan ng ibang tao ang ginagawa niya. Kabataan at mahihirap, ininsulto pa niya! Pati nanay niya, nakisama pa! What kind of values do his parents -- his elders -- teach him?

    "Recognising his speech," "things will get better at the end of the day," and "the Filipino nation is a nation of heroes" are things that I picked up from his speech and my thoughts for him:

    A. We recognise that you stole someone's copyright. The crime is not really plagiarising but plain-as-day copyright infringement. RA 8293 of which UP supposedly excels in. If I represented your school, you would be expelled and all honours and recognition given you be taken back.
    B. I hope you get better in your thinking that you can get away with a white collar crime.
    C. You just embarrassed your country and a nation of heroes for having a criminal in their midst.
