We have received a news that Clash of Clans are in deep waters in Philippines as some people, especially concerned parents are hoping to ban what they called as "the work of demon game" in PH. However, we are currently in doubt about this issue and that is why we have done some reasearch.
Sunday, November 16, 2014, a national TV show in Philippines named Kapuso Mo Jessica Soho (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6znlDXews3Q) has aired a segment of how popular Clash of Clans is in the country. The segment showed some of the Filipinos being addicted to the game and how some of them made it as a source of earning extra money. But the most controversial part of the segment was the part wherein a mom is pissed off on her kid playing the game even at the wee hours of the night and stated that she will sign the petition of banning the game in PH.
In addition to this, trendingnow.altervista.org had reported that a signature campaign is being conducted to ban CoC in and they have said the the campaign has gathered 50,000 signatures at that very moment. And right after that article, they have released another one saying that the campaign is 500,000 signature (check it out http://trendingnow.altervista.org/signature-campaign-ban-coc-ph-gathered-500000-signatures/) away from succeeding. Aside from that they have posted some images and opinions from their sources saying something against the game, and some defending the game.
Aside from that, they also said that there is a facebook community now which has 150k+ members who are against the game but it's a closed group and when we search it in FB, it is nowhere to be found. Another thing is that when we search the names of the persons who are in their article, we can't find them in the social media. Aside from that, we also searched in google about CoC being banned in PH but, we only see the website along with other websites (including ours) who are reporting that CoC will be ban but, like us, we don't have official proof about this. So, we begun to think- is the news on banning CoC in PH really true?
Even if a tv show has aired a segment of a signature campaign against CoC, we think that there will be some follow ups on this news and probably it will be reported on the news here in PH. But, it seems that this is taken for granted and it's not that important at all or, it just can be a hoax.
We really don't have any official proof yet until thay signature campaign will be proven true. When it does, we will surely tell you guys. But for now, let's just enjoy the game and hope that it will not come out.
Happy clashing Web Junkies!
