MANILA, Philippines - Mary Morillo's son Angelo stopped schooling recently. And because he is just home all day, Angelo has been spending more and more time in front of the computer.
Morillo said her son would play online games well into the wee hours of the morning.
"Noong high school siya, nagca-cutting classes siya eh. Kahit na may tutor 'yan, tumatakas sa tutor niya," said Morillo.
