Senate President Juan Miguel Zubiri expects that the bill establishing the Maharlika Investment Fund (MIF) will be passed by the upper chamber on final reading after Holy Week.
"Tingin ko mga after Holy Week na 'yan for second and third reading approval and of course, discussion [at the] bicameral conference committee kasi marami pa tayong ite-take up," Zubiri said on Saturday.
"Kasama naman niya palagi si Presidente kapag umikot sa abroad, sa mga presidential trips and visits at pinag-uusapan nila ang Maharlika Fund. So I think...he is well-versed on the need for the Maharlika Fund," he added. He said they are amenable to the changes made by the lower house but warned that there might be repercussions.
