Hinikayat ni Senate Minority Leader Aquilino 'Koko' Pimentel III si Pangulong Ferdinand 'Bongbong' Marcos, Jr., na i-veto ang naipasang Maharlika Investment Fund (MIF) bill.

Hiniling din ni Pimentel na ibalik ng Palasyo sa Kongreso ang MIF bill upang maiwasto.

"The bill, in its current form, is not acceptable. I am calling on the President to exercise his veto power and return the measure to Congress," hirit ng senador.

“It is in the best interest of the Filipino people and the administration if the measure is sent back to Congress, so we will have the chance to take a second look at the measure in order to address the concerns raised by many sectors,” wika pa ni Pimentel.

Aniya ang mga “butas” sa panukalang batas na ipinunto na ni Sen. Francis Escudero ay bunga ng pagmamadali na maipasa ito.

Diin pa ng senador, tadtad ng mga malabong probisyon, kontradiksyon at butas ang panukalang batas.

"By returning it to Congress, it will allow us to resolve conflicting provisions and add more safeguards to protect the funds and foster transparency and accountability," dagdag pa ni Pimentel.
