The agent and supervisor in Manila made it quite clear that your method was in breach of the new rules and could lead to account closure.
Spoke to my friendly Duty Manager a few hours ago and they've not been communicated anything about that. She even called here sister hotel (not sure where) and also completely unheard of. This is in the EU, at least.
Looks like you may have experienced rogue agent and supervisor spreading FUD?
