President Rodrigo Duterte, known of his socialist ideals, is channeling his inner XI Jingping as he orders the ban of government officials in casinos.

News website Politiko reported that Duterte ordered Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) chief Andrea Domingo to strictly implement Presidential Decree (PD) No. 1067-B, which was issued by the late Philippine strongman Ferdinand Marcos in 1983.

Under PD No. 1067, those who are prohibited to play in casinos are government officials connected directly with the operation of the government or any of its agencies; members of the Armed Forces of the Philippines, including the Army, Navy, Air Force or Constabulary; and persons under 21 years of age or students of any school, college or university in the Philippines.

But aside from government officials, Duterte also wanted spouses and children of politicians and government officials be included in the casino ban.
