For Maharlika, the pressure is on

THE Maharlika Investment Fund (MIF) is off to a slow start.

It needs to gain more solid ground and at a faster pace to justify the hype and pitching it got from the proponent, the Marcos administration. It also needs to show results to inspire confidence in it from the ends of both the public that pays its bills and from prospective local and foreign investors on whose buy-in over the long term the sustainability of the fund will depend.
