Portrait taken from The Commercial & Industrial Manual of the Philippines 1940-1941, p. 421 Original file: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1sJ5txqoET7uZVECohYXttUW7TF_VkGX5/view?usp=sharing This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published in the United States between 1927 and 1977, inclusive, without a copyright notice. For further explanation, see Commons:Hirtle chart as well as a detailed definition of "publication" for public art. Note that it may still be copyrighted in jurisdictions that do not apply the rule of the shorter term for US works (depending on the date of the author's death), such as Canada (50 p.m.a.), Mainland China (50 p.m.a., not Hong Kong or Macao), Germany (70 p.m.a.), Mexico (100 p.m.a.), Switzerland (70 p.m.a.), and other countries with individual treaties.

Signature taken from his United States passport application: https://www.ancestrylibrary.com/discoveryui-content/view/2310256:1174 Original file: https://ibb.co/FBPhsG4 or https://imgbox.com/6u0MqtLK or https://pixhost.to/show/9/335564701_victor-sevilla-s-signature.jpg This signature is believed to be ineligible for copyright and therefore in the public domain because it falls below the required level of originality for copyright protection both in the United States and in the source country (if different). In this case, the source country (e.g. the country of nationality of the signatory) is believed to be Philippines.
