Broadcast journalist Raffy Tulfo believes the Philippine government should conduct a study, and even ban, the addictive gaming hit known as Mobile Legends: Bang Bang.
Earlier this month, Tulfo featured a couple on his public affairs show Wanted sa Radyo, with the wife accusing her husband of domestic abuse. The cause of the broken relationship? The wife was apparently so addicted to Mobile Legends that the husband thought he needed to knock some sense into her.
After the couple aired their sides of the story, Tulfo weighed in on the mobile game. He acknowledged that the game could bring joy and even fortune to a lucky few. But then he also heard accounts of depression, suicides, and ill-effects on the gamers’ physical health and relationships brought by Mobile Legends addiction.
You can watch the video on Tulfo’s YouTube channel. It ends with Tulfo saying that the government needs to study the effects of Mobile Legends on its players.
I completely agree with Raffy Tulfo on this! Mobile Legends can be highly addictive, and it’s important for the government to assess its impact on the youth. If it’s detrimental to their well-being, banning or regulating it could be a necessary step. It’s time we prioritize mental health over gaming trends.
I completely agree with Raffy Tulfo’s perspective! Mobile Legends has become such a massive part of youth culture, but it’s important to understand its impact on mental health and productivity. If it affects studies and behavior negatively, maybe a closer examination and regulation is necessary. Would love to see more discussions around this!
