Deep into the deadest wee hours at dawn of May 31, 2023, while an eternally deceived Filipino nation was trying to sleep, 19 traditional politicians of the Senate voted to approve the controversial Maharlika Investment Fund bill.
A video claimed that Sen. Risa Hontiveros called President Bongbong Marcos lutang (spaced out). This is misleading. The senator used the term to describe the hasty passage of the Maharlika Fund bill, and was not referring to the president.
Feeling left out, some sectoral activists vented in protest in front of the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas in Quezon City on Wednesday afternoon, May 31. Their placards say it all.
In Davos, President Marcos will speak about the Maharlika Investment Fund. Imagine a thief who once deposited his family’s loot in Swiss bank accounts and who now wants the world to know that he is suddenly a beggar for investors’ money.
Sana lang hindi magpakatuta ang mga senador; protektahan nila ang kapakanan ng sambayanang Filipino. Alamin sa komentaryo ni Christian Esguerra ngayong linggo.

Ito ay nangangailangan ng konteksto.
Bangko Sentral Governor Felipe Medalla, who initially voiced reservations over the proposed Maharlika Investment Fund (MIF) bill, has joined other economic managers in pushing its legislation, saying it is a “tried and tested” investment vehicle for growth. This needs context.
