SENATE Minority Leader Aquilino “Koko” Pimentel III raised on Tuesday, May 30, 2023, the need for an “iron-clad” provision in the Maharlika Investment Fund bill that will ensure that pension funds will not be touched or compromised.
"While they removed the forced contribution from GSIS and SSS, the current version of MIF under consideration by the Senate would allow these social insurance institutions to invest in Maharlika voluntarily as long as their boards agree," Pimentel said.

The House of Representatives’ version of the measure was passed on December 15, 17 days after it was filed.
