“Wala pa naman sa balita na napirmahan na ng Pangulo ito kaya may oras pa tayong manawagan sa Pangulo, kay President Bongbong Marcos, na i-veto na lang niya ito,” Senate Minority Leader Aquilino “Koko” Pimentel III said in The Mangahas Interviews.
Days after the Palace received the proposed Maharlika Investment Fund bill, Senate Minority Leader Aquilino “Koko” Pimentel III has renewed his call for President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. to veto the measure creating the country’s first sovereign wealth fund.
“Kaming mga against, isa sa aming punto laban diyan ay minadali. So kung i-veto ‘yan, hindi pirmahan, at ibalik that means merong tayong panahon. Hindi lang sana legislators ang nagdi-discuss dalhin na natin sa taumbayan,” Pimentel said. Pimentel, in The Mangahas Interviews, floated the possibility that the MIF has a tendency for crony capitalism.
