With the recent endorsement of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. for the passage of the proposed Maharlika Investment Fund Act, a senior lawmaker on Monday appealed to the public to give the proposal a chance.
Speaker Martin G. Romualdez issued the statement after the mobile-based poll was conducted by data research firm Tangere last December 8 to 10, before the House approved the MIF bill on third and final reading last Thursday. The survey had 2,400 respondents: 12 percent from Metro Manila, 23 percent from North and Central Luzon, 22 percent from South Luzon, 20 percent from Visayas, and 23 percent from Mindanao. It had a margin of error of 2.191 percent.
President Marcos last week endorsed HB 6608 as an urgent bill, enabling the House to pass it on second reading and then on third reading before Congress went on its annual Christmas break from December 17 to January 22, 2023. “We are in full support, Your Honor. In fact, the recent statement read by Secretary Ben Diokno was a joint statement among us in the Cabinet and economic team. So that’s an expression of our full commitment,” said Balisacan, who first served as Neda chief and socioeconomic planning secretary during the administration of the late President Benigno Simeon Aquino III.
