“Pero ngayon, may isa palang provision doon sa ilalim na pwedeng mag-investment – voluntarily. So just play of words ang nangyayari diyan,” he said in a news briefing at the Senate.
Dela Rosa cautioned against leaving it up to the boards of SSS and GSIS, because they might decide to stake the “hard-earned money of retirees” in the proposed MIF.“Hindi lang naman ako ang may planong i-amend noon. Maraming ang nakakita niyan. Maraming senador ang nakakita so paano makakalusot iyon? Tatanggapin siguro [iyong amendment]. Very reasonable amendment naman siguro iyon,” he said.Asked if he would back the bill once this provision is scrapped, he said, “Yes, I will.
For dela Rosa, it is important to discuss the MIF bill in the Senate, regardless if it will pass or not, since it is a priority measure of the administration of President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr.
