A Malabon councilor has proposed before the city council seeking to prohibit students from entering internet cafes or other similar establishments during school hours.

Malabon first district councilor Ma. Anna Lizza G. Yambao said that she filed the proposed ordinance after noting that some students cut class just to surf the net or play on-line games to the detriment of their studies.

She also said that this proposal is in-line with the Constitution’s Article III Section 12 which explicitly states “that the state recognize the vital role of the youth in nation building and shall promote and protect their physical, moral and spiritual, intellectual and social well being.”

Should this proposal be approved by Malabon’s city council, Yambao said that students 18 years old and below shall be prohibited from entering any establishments offering internet or gaming services starting 6 a.m. to 9 p.m.

She said that net cafes or internet shops caught violating this provision will be fined P1,000 for the first time, P2,000 for the second, and P5,000 and cancellation of business permit for the third time offenders.

Likewise, students caught defying this local law for the first time shall be remanded to their school or parents for proper action while second time offenders shall be fined P200 and third timers shall be slapped a P500 fine aside from serving a two-day community service sentence where he or she will be under the care and jurisdiction of the city social welfare and development department (CSWDD).

Implementing this ordinance will be the Philippine National Police (PNP) unit in Malabon, city business permit licensing office (BPLO) and barangay police. - PNA

Hello Mike,

The Bill should be passed, and I would also think that parents rear their children in a manner worthy of their childrens obedience. Responsibility parents.....

Mga ginikanan, paminaw kamo oy, ingna inyong mga anak nga unya na internet inig human sa iskuwela, unya karon unsaon naman ang ilang mga school assignments? you see, kung puro internet nalang, unsa nalay musulod sa utok anang mga bata-a? pro na na windows vista....hahahahaha.... hastang kaluoy baja sa mga bata karung panahuna......


cheers

Pass the Bill ingsamot na ning mga estudyante ka tapulan tungod aning magsegi computer.Okey ra unta ug magsurfing on educational stuff naunsa murag naa man nabuang anang mga violent game sa internet. I even wonder where this kids get the money for internet.

Naa naman ni sa Tagbilaran but sa high school og elementary ang gi bawal
mo sulod sa mga cafes within school hours then up to 10 PM on weekdays

based sa mga experience sauna, mostly puno ang cafe mga 9pm-2am, so meaning ok ra mag-overnight ug games ang estudyante basta dili lang oras sa klase. heheh  wa man hinuon ko nakita 14yrs old and below nga nagdula sad pwera sa anak sa tag-iya sa cafe.

Everytime I enter an internet cafe in Cogon it is full of kids. I was wondering if they are cutting classes. I ask some of them and they just glare at me. School officials must do something and I think regulating children´s or youth access to internet cafe is a must.

Not just kids. Even in professional fields, like in the hospital.

During the off time, I always see the nurses on the computer playing solitaire or surfing the net. Or whenever the attending physician is on call, the residents or medical students going online.

I, for one, am guilty of this. lol!

Where do you think im typing at. hahahaha!

Mabuhay ka Lorenzo!

Keep on doing the good work.

As what my mentor, Dr. Dusic tells me, "Make an opportunity out of every and any moment. Physician yourself to be a Physician."

Every moment is always an opportunity. That's my motto in life.

sa high school siguro pwede na. pero sa college nga usahay sa usa ka adlaw, 2 hours ra imu clase, pwede na ka mag-internet after sa imu class. i suggest entry to net cafes should not be based on age.. based na lang sa educational level. and for college students, i think they are mature enough to know/discern kung mag counter strike na lang ba or musud sa class.

when i was in college, if i felt like not attending classes, counter strike ako pamahaw, paniudto, ug panihapon.. gigabaan ko and, modesty aside, cum laude ra ko. lol.. (kay ganahan man ko mag magna cum laude) (pero ako na ang number 1 sa amu class ato ha) (lol)  pero kung wa ko mag counter, basin dili ko honor student in those days.. lol

Calle, smart gud ka kai taga Valencia gud! haha!

God Bless, my friend.

valencia guid... oi, sa colleges of nursing sa hnu ug ub, mga taga valencia daw hawd didto.. lol.. tungod siguro nas badjang.. refreshing..

Hahaha badjang indeed.

Ahong igsoon galing, she was born in Valencia, pero raised diri sa 'states. She still has the Valenciana demeanor. Uwawon. Uwawon pero pisting smart kaayo.

Aw sauna sa college pa ko, na addict jud ko internet. Imbis naay masobra sa allowance inig ka Friday, tua na sa internetan.

lol.. ako pud uwawon.. lol.. don't like the spotlight.. mao wa ko mag artista.. lol

mangi-uwawon jud ng mga taga valencia.. pero kung nay fiesta/tabo.. pirting daghana mag parade.. magpakusina pa..

reklamo na gud mga taga garcia "unsa ba ning mga taga valencia, kung pakan-un dili mabusog, kung paimnun, dili mahubog, kung tagaan ug suman, itorotot.." lol

di na mapugngan oy...di pod malipay ang mga tag-iya sa cafes kung i-banned ning mga studs paggamit kay sila ra ba tawn maoy sige og gamit ani. i-regulate lang tingali ang time nga allowed sila mosulod...posible pa tingali na.

sus malas lang ug naay research kay di pwede mogamit ug internet!

I think banning student in cafes will not help. To be honest internet is a technological breakthrough and Cafe's in most municipalities bridges the gap between local and worldwide information. Imagine sauna iskwela pa ko mautas nalang ko ug pangita og info sa amo school library and hubakon nalang tawn ko ug mga abog na books na karaan na kaayo. Karon pwede na nmo ma-access millions of library in the world with a few cliks lang. Internet has its benefits, I was watching my nephew a grade 6 updating his friendster site. Kuyawan ko kay mas nindot pa iyang site kontra sa akoang friendster..heheh, what im pointing out is that the development of his creativity is impressive which i believe is not taught in school nowadays. Internet is good medium of learning. Mao siguro mag-cutting mga students kay boringan sila sa ilang maestra mo-tudlo..(joke lang)

Instead of banning the users, the cafe owners should limit the amount of service that they provide. Usually pataka lang gud ang owners (dli tanan) ug tukod ug mga cafe's na wala no how to setup sa ilang workstation basta lang makakwarta.

Cafe owners should implement like:
1. No Lan games!!
2. Limit access to Chat!!
3. Implement parental control on there browsers and servers. Daghan na man ron mga software's na mo-prevent to access sa mga unwanted sites.

Municipalities should also do random checks if these cafe establishment are implementing the law.

With technological advance ron mostly the generation of this age are fast growing techcy savy. And parents should also guide their kids and be involve to technology as well.

IMHO lang po...heheheh...

Hello Nikon_D300 Welcome to TubagBohol. Enjoy your stay!

Salamat kaajo Angie Gulle

welcome NIKON_D300...

QuoteCafe owners should implement like:
1. No Lan games!!

mas dako og kita ang lan games kaysa magchat og browse
and also pwede man isumbong if naay cafe sa Tagbilaran
nga nagpasulod og elementary og high schools students
within class hours sigurado ma raid jud na

Bitaw, I believe murag 70% sa income sa cafe is gkan sa lan gaming. Well its up to the discretion sa cafe owners na lang gyud.

Hahha, nag-kawise pud mga HS students ron. Kay mag ilis ug uniform or balon daan ug sanina usa musolod sa Cafe. Mao na lusot japon.

Ondoy Nikon,

You have a great posting assessing the importance of Internet cafe.  May I also add that this is an excellent venue for girls to find their future husbands.  They are daring nowadays. I was seated with a young girl chatting with Australian guy in yahoo, telling him to come over to Bohol...."come here over to Bohol and rape me!, we will have fun." 
asa ka ra?

Mao lagi!

Dili na pwede ebannmed ang internet cafes sa mga student kay sila ang number one users.
This is the result of the changing time. Ang atong buhaton is " parental guidance".

Ang mga students karon dili na moadto sa library for reasearch. Didto dayon sa internet.

Ang parental guidance na lang ana, eh, don't give too much money to your kids. They would surely spend it for on-line gaming.

murag lisod jud ni....

That is so very true, when I was a Teacher's Assistant at Allegheny College for a Roman History course, I had to help students in properly citing sources--as well as in writing format. I was surprised to the level of sources they were using--more or less online resources via 'JSTOR'. As the Teacher's Assistant for the course, I had to ask the Professor to implement a policy in mandating the need to use at least 5 hard-book sources. 2 being primary and 3 being secondary.

Had that not been implemented, most of the students would have used online sources--mostly from JSTOR or other academic online sources.

how reliable is jstor enzo? had a hard time verifying the genuiness/truthfulness of internet sites.

JSTOR is reliable for the most part because its an accumulation of published articles, its hive for secondary sources and commentaries. I think its necessary to take advantage of online sources if hard sources are difficult to find.

I just don't like how students are becoming more and more dependent on searching online instead of taking advantage of the library.

Okey ra pood if one uses it as a reference, specially when writing a paper--but not totally based on online information. I mean, its fine if one uses online source to share views on an online forum (like Tubag Bohol), but this is unacceptable when relying on such for a major midterm paper, final paper etc.

One of objectives that we were given in class when instructing students included tips in oral presentation, proper citation of sources etc.

In the long run I think we helped the students to write formidable papers as well as implementing proper citation. As in academia, citation is key--the worst case scenario for students is being accused by the Student Judicial Board of Plageriasm for improper citation.

Beneficial kaayo jud to use book source because it acquaints one with the library-research setting. Beneficial ni kaayo if one is planning to pursue a his or her MA/MS/PhD.

Just my view lang.
