MANILA, Philippines — Interior and Local Government Secretary Jonvic Remulla claimed that the perpetrator of the fatal Ateneo de Zamboanga University (ADZU) Junior High School shooting may have been influenced by the game Roblox.

“But, it is with great degree of confidence that he was influenced by the game of Roblox again because of the manner in which he did it. Roblox in itself is not a dangerous game. It is the chat group that is inside it. Doon nagkakaroon ng radicalization (That’s where radicalization comes in),” he added.
