Nueva Ecija, 3rd District Representative Rosanna “Ria” Vergara also recently filed a bill that seeks to integrate Internet and Social Media Education in the curriculum of primary and secondary schools. 3114, all primary and secondary schools, public and private, shall be required to integrate Internet and Social Media Education in their curriculum, specifically on the proper use of the internet and social media, the benefits of prudent use, and the harmful effects of unregulated access and use. "This measure aims to instruct and educate school-age children to the responsible and prudent use of the internet and social media platforms so that they may truly benefit from its advantages and avoid the dangers and risks arising from the uninformed and unregulated use thereof," added Vergara.
