After dem hold meeting wit DICT and CICC plus people wey represent Roblox, authorities agree make dem delay the April 10 deadline — but dem warn say dem go carry on if Roblox no hit the compliance milestones wey dem agree on. Main proposals dey focus on identity and accountability. Regulators dey reason to join PhilSys (the Philippine Identification System) inside Roblox age verification to reduce how pikin dem dey bypass age gate. Officials still urge Roblox make e open physical office for Philippines so local oversight with law enforcement go better. Safety-by-design steps dey central for the plan. DICT talk say Roblox agree make in-game chat off by default, in-game payments off by default, and make children wey be 9 years and under no get chat access.
