Just read a report that 2 DPWH Bulacan officials, one a district engineer, the other a staff, blew around P300M (or over $5 million) each in casino gambling, even using aliases. This came out in the Senate Blue Ribbon probe on ghost flood projects.
One of them, Engr. Henry Alcantara, admitted playing 2–3 times a month, while his aide Brice Hernandez bet even bigger. Aside from that, they’re also accused of forging signatures and pocketing funds.
Question is, how can gov officials gamble that big when their salary won’t even cover a fraction of it? Corruption? Loans? What do you think?

https://elibrary.judiciary.gov.ph/thebookshelf/showdocs/8/71381 government officials are also prohibited to participate or to gamble in a casino.
But here they are wasting the funds of people. This is totally awful situation and imagine they are just engineers, how much more on other departments including those politicians behind them. For sure they stole lots of money to people.
Its clear that this people is involve in corruption so hopefully that we could see this people rot in jail.
