"To begin with, the total budget is going P5.3 trillion, we are talking only about P135 billion but even that is not part of the budget – these are funds that are not you know used either in Land Bank and DBP [Development Bank of the Philippines] and also remittance of the Central Bank or BSP [Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas] to the national government ‘no," Balisacan said at a Palace press briefing.

"No, it will not happen by design because the fund that we are putting in there are quite, you know, idle funds not funds that being utilized. And what the fund is trying to do is to put those into more productive, higher yielding instruments so that you can earn more from those funds," Balisacan said.the MIF, which will tap state assets for investment ventures to generate additional public funds.

Republic Act No. 11954 was signed despite apprehensions and concerns on the measure, with some lawmakers pointing out the MIF bill's glaring errors and discrepancies as well as its ambiguous provisions.
