Fundamental issues haunting Maharlika Investment Fund

Putting up the Maharlika Investment Fund cannot save us from the more urgent economic and social problems we face this year.

Diverting funds from state-owned banks like Land Bank of the Philippines and Development Bank of the Philippines will not only reduce their investible funds and weaken their financial health, but it will also compromise the National Government’s revenue base. These government financial institutions are required to capitalize the Fund by a total of ₱75 billion, with an additional provision that “each founding GFI may increase its investment above their required equity contribution.

Self-flagellation is the second fundamental flaw in the Maharlika concept. The Maharlika bill waives for NG some additional sources of revenues in favor of the investment fund. One such source is the dividend of both government-owned and controlled corporations and yes, GFIs such as Land Bank and DBP.

Yah! It's nice to hear your 'guniguni' Mr. Gunigundo that fund was put up to help save our economy and other social problems, do not compare apples and mangoes they are far different things, how can you connect natural phenomena to MIF?
