FINANCE Secretary Benjamin E. Diokno rejected on Monday speculation that the reduction in the Development Bank of the Philippines’ (DBP) dividend was intended to retain capital for use by the proposed Maharlika Investment Fund (MIF).

PHILIPPINE STAR/ KRIZ JOHN ROSALES

The Department of Finance said in a statement that government banks like the DBP and Land Bank of the Philippines are routinely allowed to reduce their dividends. He was responding to a statement by Representative France L. Castro, the House deputy minority leader from the ACT-Teachers Party-list, that Executive Order No. 8, which reduced the rate of DBP’s dividends to the National Government to 0%, “was issued to increase DBP’s capital for the Maharlika fund.”

Part of the proposed MIF’s initial funding was to come from the DBP, which will pitch in P25 billion.

Maharlika beneficial to PH development plan, says Neda chiefThe MIF will be beneficial to the implementation of the Marcos administration’s Philippine Development Plan for 2023-2028 as it can help finance the national government’s investment priorities, according to Secretary Arsenio Balisacan. Of course marcos cronies love the plan. That's why they were appointed by Marcos. Once the opposition approves it, then it's a good plan and not partisan politics. Wake up people. Saan ba kasi i-invest ang pera at parang sure sila na low-risk at high yield ito? Wala kasing ganun. Bagsak ata halos lahat ng stocks at mutual funds ngayon. Globally, on the brink of recession madaming bansa. So, saan nila balak mag-invest.
