It's very simple and straightforward. Pros for corrupt greedy government officials. 🤑 Cons for the common ordinary average citizens. 😩
Consider these: (1) The fund was proposed by three lawmakers related to Marcos Jnr - his cousin, House Speaker Ferdinand Martin Romualdez, his cousin’s wife Yedda Marie Romualdez, and his eldest son Ferdinand “Sandro” Alexander Marcos. (2) There is a very particular section in the legislation that barred lower courts from stopping the fund’s investments, leaving that power only to the Supreme Court and the Court of Appeals. (3) What can stop Marcos from injecting his ill-gotten wealth by participating in the Maharlika [Fund]? Is there a possibility that this proposed fund serves as a money-laundering channel? (4) Under the bill, which would create the Maharlika Investments Corporation, its board would have the power to “approve the issuance of debt and debt-like instruments”. No restriction is imposed on who the buyers are. That's right, anybody could be a buyer, including you know who? (5) What would the Maharlika fund be able to do that the SSS, GSIS, DBP, and LB are not already doing? However, such a fund is not risk-free, and it boils down to how good the fund manager is. It could also fail if transparency, controls, checks, and balances are not established. Stevie Cunjieng has the knowledge to stem the tide of the toxic Filipino culture of corruption. Mimi on your question, "Can the government afford Stevie Cuunjieng?" Maybe not, so let's crowd-fund Stevie and bring him up front and center. 🎯🎯🎯

I nominate Stevie Cuunjieng to manage this sovereign wealth fund. In the Philippines where political corruption is a problem, wealth funds can be used as a slush fund for nepotism by awarding loans and equity investments, and high-fee management contracts to allies and family. More blatantly, flat embezzlement of sovereign wealth for the personal use of corrupt leaders who control the funds, often not revealed until long after it happens, is not uncommon. Stevie Cuunjieng is more than qualified to stem the tide of corruption and make us all rich and prosperous. 💰💰💰

THIS IS NOT THE BEST OF TIME TO RISK PEOPLE'S MONEY. On-going pandemic. War. Climate change. Geopolitical tensions. Food shortages. Shore up local resources first, remove deficit spending, and fight corruption. Then we'll go invest our surplus funds, if any.
Great interview. There should also be a tagalog version of this so that more can understand. The points made about the demographic nightmare is true. Too much Filipinos with very low productivity domestically

A very creative way of saying no to MWF for now.
By the way Stephen explained it Maharlika is likely to fail if we just follow the whims of the current government.
Sir Steve, government must first add more renewable energy sources, to bring down the cost of power. No manufacturing can survive otherwise
If only Sandro Marcos and Romualdez were listening to this, the they wouldnt have to embarrass themselves for their ignorance
Maybe there is some politics sportmanship going on. Shoot big so that the negotiations can dwindle it down but ultimately it can pass through when everyone is happy.
The point here is just invest domestic first. Take care of your own backyard. The government is not serious. They should have consulted experts like Mr. Cuunjieng. Also, there are international investment banks. Our government is good at redundant agencies....

Very interesting insight about demographic dividend. In Canada the government is proposing a 500k invitation for immigrants. Not counting the people who were here already this proposal will add workers and taxation that will add to the system. Because of the strenous cost living and competition here they may decide to stay or leave the country whereas in the Philippines the government itself pushes its citizen to migrate. So where will be the pension fund coming.
The Philippines has badly managed the funds it has. We now want to give more money for them to manage? I would rather see the efforts of this gov go to restricting power of gov officials rather than expanding.
Very complex thing but the authors are in a hurry to have it approved. Listen to experts n establishing a fund like this should be studied very well. Ang galing ni sir stephen. After listening to him, it would now appear that the authors of the bjll are short of knowkedge of tge who, the when n thd what of setting up such kind of a fund. Magaral muna sila.

how about the Marcoses and the Romualdezes bring back the ill-gotten wealth or the back-taxes they owe the government and put this into either this asset management fund or a sovereign wealth fund, that may even be a good starter

Ang mkikinabang po nyan ay cronnies at law makers, dahil un fund pwede i pondo sa private groups kung saan un mga corporation at politician business ipapasok yan, so mkatuwid instead na umutang ito mga ulupong na private group sa bank eh di gagamitin nila un pondo ng pobreng mangagawa para sa knila business na wlang risk, dahil ang risk ay nsa pesnsioners wla dun sa humahawak ng pera. parang c Dennis uy lang ulit ito ,na unli utang then pag di nkabayad ang guarantor gobyerno

They'll most probably just invest it in quick rich/poor schemes like cryptos thinking bad things will never happen. It's better to invest in good fund manager like Michael Pento but I don't know if he will accept sovereign wealth funds. But frankly I think it's too little too late. It's just much better to invest in gold.
Obviously he made a little research on sovereign funds before he gets to be interviewed. In fact, there is nothing new on what hes saying. But interesting to hear him say private equity fund. global pefs are down at least 40 percent year to date, what about that for quimbo and diokno
