Senator Francis “Chiz” Escudero on Friday, May 26 expressed concern that the proposed Maharlika Investment Fund bill will have the potential to deplete the funds of the two government banks, despite the positive projections aired by state economic managers.
“Ang ideya ay dapat lumago ang pera ng Land Bank at DBP, at hindi malugi . Remember, the bill makes their equity compulsory. So in exchange, will there be guarantees as to their returns as well ?” Escudero pointed out. During the floor debates on Senate Bill No. 202, the Senate’s version of the bill last Wednesday, May 24, the lawmaker said he has yet to hear a full explanation on how much these two banks will earn from their Maharlika investments.
Under the bill, the total authorized P500-billion in capital stocks of the MIC, the initial P125 billion worth of MIC common stocks to be subscribed by the national government amounting to P75 billion shall be fully paid by the following: P50 billion by the LBP and P25 billion by the DBP.
