Koko cautions vs hastened enactment of Executive-certified bills
‘Enactment of the Maharlika Fund law overtook at least 20 priority legislative measures proposed by the National Economic and Development Authority to be passed this year’
SENATE minority leader Aquilino ‘Koko’ Pimentel contends that supporters of the Maharlika Investment Fund have failed to show ‘clear’ purpose for the creation of the fund as well as explain convincingly what protective measures there are against potential losses. Expressing his view before the Rotary Club of Manila during the Club's weekly membership meeting at the Manila Polo Club last 28 September 2023, Pimentel said, ‘the Maharlika Fund which lacks underlying assets is unjustified. As a result, I think it will result in more debts for the country.’ | Photograph by Analy Labor for the Daily Tribune @tribunephl_ana
