MANILA, Philippines – Do your kids still play outside?

In a survey conducted by Nerve, a data insights company, children nowadays spend more time indoors than they do outdoors. They spend about 1-2 hours playing outside but most of the time they’re holed up inside the house with their mobile phones or tablets. Unlike kids who grew up before the digital age, they prefer streaming online videos than playing piko or tumbang preso.
