Abstract
This study focused on the factors affecting the decreasing interest of Filipino people under Generation Z in playing traditional games. The descriptive method was used to determine the different factors affecting the Filipino people in playing Filipino games. The researchers collect data through data mining that can be used to find information about the study. The researchers choose to conduct a web-based analysis, where data were collected through browsing reliable and valid sources in the world web. Collected data results will be analyzed to find out the factors affecting Filipinos in playing Philippine traditional games that have 56.66% who still played Philippine traditional games while 43.33% prefers to browse and play online. The factors that affect the Filipino citizen to have less interest in playing Philippine traditiona1 games are the cultural onslaught of western countries which has brought about change in the lifestyle and attitudes of people in tribal societies where traditional games are in mostly in vogue and the Western sports (e.g. basketball or volleyball). Also, the changes come as people turn away from traditional TV viewing and streaming TV, a trend that has only grown during the Covid-19 pandemic. Philippine traditional games decrease as television and other mass media are widely accessible, passive activities, such as watching TV, listening to music, and internet surfing, video games, and online chatting are among the most popular leisure activities among adolescents. Also, the reason why Philippine traditional games are declining because the young generation has turned to virtual games and other modern games (e.g. cricket, hockey and football) for sporting, entertainment, and use of leisure. However, it was also due to rapid technological development. People conserve and maintain the Philippine traditional games through spending time with other members of the community and continuous engagement. It is important to preserve the information and knowledge about traditional games for the generations to come and is essential to raise awareness about traditional games and keep them alive in the present day for Filipinos to enjoy. Filipinos must began building advocacy that will help to educate the next generation, the Filipino children. The advantages of technologies that may affect playing Philippine traditional games are the following, it enhances computer skills and keep the child up to date, it helps in teaching children how to play as team using technology, it improves language, it improves Math skills, and boosts decision-making, it develops mental health, it improves cognitive development. On the other hand, the disadvantages of technologies that may affect playing Philippine traditional games are shorter sleep duration, lack of socialization, the ‘Bob’ effect syndrome, high-tech health syndrome, computer eye syndrome and carpal syndrome.
