Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV has rejected calls for a blanket ban on video games following the deadly shooting at a high school in Tacloban City, saying there is no proven link between video games and school violence. Aquino, who chairs the Senate Committees on Basic Education and Science and Technology, said many studies have found no direct connection between playing video games and incidents of school shootings. Instead of banning video games, Aquino urged lawmakers to prioritize the proposed School Safety Act. Aquino also said game developers should do more to monitor their platforms, especially those with younger users. Senator Bam Aquino has recently filed in the Senate a new bill that protects freelancers from non-payments, as well as rights to secure easier transactions with government agencies. Aquino believes that with the increasing number of people wanting mobility and finding freedom with a fundamental source of income, it is necessary for the government to give them the protection they deserve. Because of the investigation that Senator Bam Aquino had conducted late last year regarding the sluggish and unreliable Internet in the Philippines, the National Telecommunications Commission has promised to come up with a memorandum circular that unfortunately still hasn't been delivered until now and the senator wants to know why.
