“It’s very new. It’s basically securitization of about P44.3 billion in annual dividends. So these are real surpluses, including, for example, PDIC at P13 billion,” Salceda said. “These are dividends from GOCCs, so by its nature, they are already surpluses.[ANALYSIS] On the Maharlika Wealth Fund “Upon IPO, it’s no longer a GOCC.
