Nation on the Move Special Report Interview of GDAP President, Ms. Ria Lu about the investigations on school shootings.

Parents, educators, and mentors need to engage with young people, listen to their concerns, and intervene with empathy before warning signs escalate into crisis.

Rather than blaming technology or media in isolation, addressing youth violence requires looking at the whole childโ€”fostering strong connections across the home, school, and digital environments through proactive listening and dialogue.

The Game Developers Association of the Philippines (GDAP) and HealthyGaming have formally entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to collaborate on initiatives that promote healthier, safer, and more responsible digital environments.

The partnership recognizes the important role of education, digital well-being, responsible gaming practices, and informed engagement in addressing the challenges associated with gaming and digital spaces.

Rather than relying on blanket restrictions or game bans, GDAP and HealthyGaming seek to develop practical, evidence-informed programs that empower players, parents, educators, and communities with the knowledge and tools needed to foster healthy relationships with technology and games.

Representing GDAP, Ms. Ria Lu, President, signed the MOU with Christoffer Johansson, Founder and CEO of HealthyGaming.

Through this collaboration, GDAP and HealthyGaming reaffirm their shared commitment to advancing responsible gaming and digital well-being while supporting a sustainable and inclusive gaming ecosystem.

Building healthier digital spaces through education, collaboration, and responsible innovation.
