The Maharlika fund would be invested in agriculture, infrastructure, and energy development, President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. said on Tuesday, July 18, after signing into law the bill creating the Maharlika Investment Fund (MIF) and allaying fears of fund mismanagement.
Senate President Juan Miguel “Migz” Zubiri said the Senate will come up with a "strongly-worded" resolution that would urge President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr.’s administration to bring the West Philippine Sea issue to the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA).
The Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) said Tuesday, July 18, there was no foul play in the death of an overseas Filipino worker (OFW) whose body was found floating near a pier in Hong Kong.
