Diokno willing to be interviewed ‘for hours’ on Maharlika Fund

On the heels of a survey that found Filipinos split on the benefits of the Maharlika Investment Fund (MIF), Finance Secretary Benjamin Diokno said he is willing to sit in the hot seat to explain the proposed sovereign wealth fund to the public.

Last week, a survey by Social Weather Station (SWS) found that 51% of Filipinos expect little or no benefit from the MIF.

The poll also revealed that 33% have little knowledge about the fund, while 47% said they had almost no knowledge or no knowledge about it at all.
