Marcos said he would seek out partners for his administration’s ambitious infrastructure plan, emphasizing its objectives “to reinforce robust and resilient supply chains [and] ensure… food security, …while furthering climate-friendly, clean and green energy to power the Philippine economy.”The president expressed optimism about his first participation in the WEF. He said he looked forward to meeting with government and business leaders, as well as civil society advocates and academic experts.
A DFA official had said earlier that the president was planning to do a “soft launch” of his proposed Maharlika wealth fund before political, business, and civil society leaders at the forum. “Are they sure that it will get through the Senate?” Pimentel asked. “It is too early, too premature.” “Instead of focusing our limited resources on the Maharlika Investment Fund bill, let’s debate on legislation that will improve the lives of our countrymen, control inflation, and create opportunities,” Pimentel said.
