MANILA, Philippines — Referencing the tragic shooting at San Jose National High School in Tacloban City, Sen. Loren Legarda urges the public to look beyond simple explanations and treat the tragedy as a warning about deeper and interconnected challenges facing Filipino youth today.
“Social media and online games may be part of the story, but they are not the whole story. They must be examined seriously because they can shape behavior, normalize violence, or expose children to harmful communities. But they cannot be the only explanation,” Legarda said in a recent statement
