Local literature Smartphones are an integral part of people’s life. In this article, we will use the “smartphone” and “mobile” interchangeably. What we have in mind whenever we say mobile is a phone with access to the Internet. They are mobile phones highly advanced in of technology, computing capabilities, and connectivity, with functions similar to those of computers. In fact, people prefer their smartphones to computers while surfing online (Ofcom, 2015). In 2016, the number of smartphone s was estimated at reach 2.08 billion (Statista, 2015). The digital divide between less advanced economies and developed economies was 31 points in 2015 for smartphone ownership. In Poland, 41% of respondents declared owning a smartphone; 75% of them were young people aged 18–34. According to Pew Research Center (2015), 15% of Americans aged 18–29 are dependent on a smartphone for Internet access. Beside calling, texting, and basic Internet browsing, smartphones are used for online banking, seeking information about jobs, obtaining class materials or educational contents, obtaining driving directions in public transport, and many other purposes. When asked, smartphone owners described their devices as “helpful” rather than “annoying,” “connecting” rather than “distracting,” and representing “freedom” rather than functioning as a “leash.” According to a study done on students, using smartphones during classes hampers the ability to concentrate and makes academic performanceworse(Samaha&Hawi,2016). With the increasing number of smartphones, not only the benefits of using them but also the side effects should be discussed. A new phenomenon is emerging, called phubbing. The word “phubbing” is derived from two words: “phone” and “snubbing.” It means looking at one’s mobile during real conversation with another person (Karadağ et al., 2015). Phubbing is also defined as an act of snubbing the interlocutor in a social setting by looking at one’s phone instead of paying attention (see http://stopphubbing.com/). Karadağ and colleagues (2015) indicated that phubbing is associated with mobile addiction and with deprivation in situations of being far from one’s phone; they also indicated that the mobile phone is used as a tool helping in situations of loneliness, anxiety, and worry. They distinguished two factors of phubbing: communication disturbance and phone obsession

(Karadağ et al., 2015). A previous study showed that gender can be a of the relationships between phubbing and mobile phone, short message service (SMS), social media, and Internet addictions; in the female group, phubbing was found to be related to mobile, SMS, and social media addictions, whereas in the male group it was associated with Internet and game addictions (Karadağ et al., 2015). This can be linked with differences in preferences concerning media use. Phubbing also has an impact on interpersonal relationships and personal well-being (Roberts & David, 2016). It seems to be very strongly connected with the way of using other tools; Karadağ and colleagues (2015) suggested that it has certain dimensions such as mobile phone addiction, Internet addiction, or social media addiction. They suggest that people first become addicted to SMS and social media, which then leads to mobile addiction, which in turn results in phubbing. Problematic phone use is seen as a behavioral addiction. Phubbing is an umbrella term covering three dimensions, one of them being mobile phone addiction. Choliz (2010) found that mobile phone addiction and phubbing have similar main symptoms of dependence, such as lack of impulse control, using a mobile to avoid unpleasant moods, having problems because of using a mobile, intensive online activity, sending a large number of text messages, and devoting a large amount of time to using the mobile every day. Facebook is one of the most popular social networking sites (for a review, see Błachnio, Przepiórka, & Rudnicka, 2013). The used in the literature to refer to Facebook dependency are “Facebook intrusion” (Elphinston & Noller, 2011) or “Facebook addiction” (Andreassen & Pallesen, 2014), which can be defined as excessive involvement in Facebook, disrupting day-to-day activities and interpersonal relationships (Elphinston & Noller, 2011). The authors mention three phases of this phenomenon, namely, (1) withdrawal, (2) relapse and reinstatement, and (3) euphoria. People who are strongly involved in Facebook feel distress when they cannot use it. What is more, they have unsuccessfully attempted to reduce Facebook use. They also feel a connection with other people

who

Facebook

(Elphinston

&

Noller,

2011).

A large body of studies have been devoted to the relationship between behavioral

dependency and personal traits. Because of the small number of studies on phubbing, our project was eclectic and intuitive. Our assumptions were based on behavior dependency studies in general. Self-esteem, loneliness, and satisfaction with life were selected as antecedents

for

phubbing.

The previous study indicated that Internet addiction was related to a low level of selfesteem (Błachnio, Przepiórka, Senol-Durak, Durak, & Sherstyuk, 2016) and that self-esteem was a negative predictor of Facebook intensity (Błachnio, Przepiorka, & Rudnicka, 2016) and

social

media

(Hawi

&

Samaha,

2016).

Some authors have assumed that loneliness is an important determinant of social media use (Ye & Lin, 2015; Song et al., 2014). Some studies suggest that loneliness can predict Internet addiction (Özdemir, Kuzucu, & Ak, 2014). Loneliness has been found to be a positive predictor of Facebook addiction, standard Facebook use, and Facebook entertainment (Błachnio, Przepiorka, Boruch, & Bałakier, 2016). As indicated by previous results, problematic mobile phone use is associated with loneliness and depression (Güzeller

&

Coşguner,

2012).

Satisfaction with life is defined as the global assessment of one’s life. A previous study indicated that Facebook addiction was negatively associated with satisfaction with life (Błachnio, Przepiorka, & Pantic, 2016), and another one showed that phubbing was associated with personal well-being (Roberts & David, 2016

Local literature With the advancement of modern technology and in particular mobile technology it is no wonder that cell phones and their popularity are on the rise. It is perhaps because of their ease of use and their ability to facilitate other applications. It is because of this that many experts in psychology have begun to study the effects of cell phones on our society. A concerning question is: Are cell phones addictive? A study by Adriana Bianchi and Dr. James G. Phillips, Ph.D., (2005), using predictors from addiction literature, the study sought to predict problematic mobile phone usage. It keyed in on factors they believed to cause mobile phone disorders. 195 subjects of both genders and an average age of 36 (ranging from 18-85 years old) were interviewed. The results lead to the creation of the Mobile Phone Problem Use Scale. This scale was compared to the Addiction Potential Scale. Fundamentals that were used to compare the scales and create the Mobile Phone Problem Use Scale were the amount of time one uses their cell phone and the type of usage. The behavioral predictors that influenced the amount of cell phone usage were: being extraverted, possessing low self-esteem, and being young. These characteristics were fundamental in determining problematic cell phone use. The study showed that these behavioral predictors did not influence the amount of cell phone usage: gender, and neuroticism. The scale developed was designed to help with implementing any interventions for potential addictive behavior. Age was a key factor in predicting problematic cell phone use. That is why other psychologists have begun to perform studies focusing on adolescents. Hyun Young Koo and Hyun Sook Park (2010) study of adolescents, in which 548 students were asked to fill out a questionnaire regarding their cell phone use. The results of the questionnaires were that just under 89% believed they were average cell phone s, while 8.4% believed they were heavy s and only 2.9% percent believed they were addicted to their cell phone. This study found that gender, texting, monthly charges, impulsiveness, recreational reasons and cultural reasons were all influential to cell phone addiction. There are some contradicting findings from Koo and Park’s (2010) study when compared to Bianchi and Dr. Phillips, Ph.D., (2005) study. The biggest contradiction was that Bianchi and Dr. Phillips,

Ph.D., (2005) study indicated that gender was not a predictor for problematic cell phone use, while Koo and Park’s (2010) study did. Should we then believe that cell phone use can be addictive, especially concerning adolescents? Well there are others that disagree with the idea of cell phones as being addictive. X. Sanchez-Carbonell, M. Beranuy, M. Castellana, A. Chamarro and U. Oberst (2008) say that cell phones can be used in a maladaptive way however this should be considered abuse and not addiction. Their study results continue to say that the Internet does pose addiction potential but that cell phones do not because their use does not promote rapid emotional changes. Again we see a different point of view to Bianchi and Dr. Phillips, Ph.D., (2005), study results in the sense that while cell phones were considered to be used in an abusive manner it was not considered addictive. Again, the question at hand is, are cell phones addictive? Clearly more research has to be done to answer this question. Additional things that should be considered from the existing research criteria, such as age and gender are: If cell phones are not addictive, do they cause abusive disorders? Can it and or does it morphs from addiction to an abusive disorder with age? If adolescents and young adults are more susceptible to cell phone addiction, what are the long term repercussions? What interventions should be istered against this possible addiction? What preventative measures should be taken against it? Hopefully in the not to distant future these pending questions will be answered.

Offers free quick access to the latest weather bulletin and storm warning issued by the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services istration (PAGASA). It shows the current satellite image and path of t yphoon including its forecast track. he proponent choose this android article because it correlates Android systemwhich in invading into the android phones are the features for monitoring the calamities,storm

According to Adam Articona( january 11, 2012 states that Pinoyhenyo isp robably one of the popular and most awaited segments in Eat Bulaga next to Juan for All, All for Juan the good news is it is made available to android app and can be playedthru your android phone. Aside from the fact that the game is challenging perhaps thebest reason is that it is Bosing Vic Sotto and Joey De Leon who are hosting the saidsegment .it can be played by two person all they need is a pen and paper which therandom henyo word will be written. The paper with the henyo word will then be placedto the forehead of the asker / guesser which should be identified by the latter within 2minutes by asking different categories like food, places, animals, human and the likesuntil he can able to guess the exact henyo word.The proponent decide to choose this article because of the concept of theandroid apps is to create an analysis and interaction towards the player of the game, insuch that the game player. The strategic plan of the data inputs for the interaction of thegame leaves decision to the s on what is the right track and output to be able tonavigate it.

Local Studies According to The Icival (September 7, 2011) the development is a modern day interpretation of the traditional Filipino fiesta parlor game called "AgawangBiik". In the traditional game, a pig is placed in a mud filled ring and participants will try and catch the pig. Whoever catches the pig will win a prize. In this modern interpretation, the controls the pig as it tries to escape from hordes of game participants. This game was created as a thesis project by students of Informatics Computer Institute Valenzuela (Philippines) taking up Advanced Diploma in Gaming and Animation Technology. The proponent allows relate the system to the current development, the application must give ideas to the programmer to what aspects the system must be simulated, and the application that the system must be applied. The use of piggy rush must have evaluated by the proponent to be able for the programmer to evaluate the idea of moving the interaction of the to the android apps. According to Dexit (September 7th, 2011) the Piggy run is one of the best Piggygames. Help the Piggy in its adventure to run away from the farmer. Help Piggy Rush toend of the levels to reach its baby Piggies. Piggy Run is more fun if you compete withyour friends and find out who can help the Pig run free first. Piggy Run is the only PigRun game with awesome levels and great looking animations for celebration at end ofeach level.Pig run is more fun if you learn how to make the pig fly and run.

Piggy Run and have hours of fun.Play this Piggy Adventure game any time. Multiple Piggy levels including City, Ghettoand many awesome looking levels. Help Piggy rush to each of these levels and notbecome a Piggy Pie at dinner table.The awesome features that the Piggy rush as adopted by the proponent, is theconcept of a level by level stages of the game, the goal system of the game, as well asthe aspects of monitoring the movement and skills of the pets. This also includes the strategy game movement of the player to interact with the system s. According to Dragopet (August 9,2013)

The Pet we will become a guardian of amystic dragon. Before we begin playing with our virtual 3D pet, we will receive an egg to take proper care of it. When it will hatch you will step into an epic adventure of living, having fun and taking care of an unique animal living in your phone. The first thing you’ll have to is that your little magic creature lives all the time in your device like intamagotchi! It is not simply being saved when you exit the game. It is always alive and may notify you at any time it needs your help. The Proponent decided to choose features because it attains the goals of the dragon, and make the level up game which might be related to the proposed android app game. The game is an objective game that allows the system monitoring concepts of the speed, the powers and effectively monitoring the speed of the dragon.

The Proponent used the Little Pet Shop as the medium of instruction in creating the system as the guide in order to possibly do the system. The system is evaluating to be able to address requirement of the proposed system in dealing with the movement of the data, the movement of the characters /sprite (Potchi). This serve as a guide in the development of the characters in the game, the scores obtain by the gamer, goals are fully adapted by the proponents.

Local Literature MANILA, Philippines (Xinhua) - Filipinos are using their mobile phones not only to communicate but also as mobile computers as well, according to a recent market

study
