The Senate is eyeing to approve the proposed Maharlika Investment Fund by the last week of May, said Senate President Juan Miguel Zubiri on Wednesday.

"The Maharlika bill is set on track. Nakausap ko si Senator [Mark] Villar kahapon , he told me that it will be ready for marathon deliberations by May 15," he said in a media forum.

[Translation: So, by May 15 we still have two weeks for the debates, hopefully, we can pass it by last week of May. So, they can have the bicam before the first week of June and they can already have the ratified version.]
