"The City shall provide municipal buildings, cultural centers, public parks including freedom parks, playgrounds, and other sports facilities and equipment, and other similar facilities." (Republic Act No. 7160, Local Government Code of 1991, § 17(b)(2)(vii)). "The Sangguniang Panlungsod shall provide for the establishment, maintenance, protection, and conservation of communal forests and watersheds, tree parks, greenbelts, mangroves, and other similar forest development projects." (Republic Act No. 7160, Local Government Code of 1991, § 458(a)(5)(i)). is In 2018, the Sangguniang Panlungsod of Santa Rosa, through Resolution No. 0037, adopted the final report of the Conceptual Master Plan in reference to the establishment of a People's Park in the city. In conformity with the Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP), it expresses that "Barangay Aplaya included in the Shoreland Overlay Zone - Strategic Agriculture and Fisheries Development Zone (SAFDZ), which, under Republic Act No. 8435, refers to the "areas identified for production, agro-processing, and marketing activities help develop and modernize, with the support of government, the agriculture and fisheries sectors in an environmentally sound manner. to In pursuance of LLDA Memorandum Circular 2020-06, it stated therein that "Proposed developments initiated by any local governments for public use are exempted from the suspension of issuance of shoreland development clearance." Barangay Aplaya in the City of Santa Rosa is strategically located along the coast of Laguna Lake and has great potential for improvement. To develop the property in Barangay Aplaya as a people's park would stir important economic activities around the area. The establishment of the People's Park is embedded with the following objectives for its efficient and effective management: sustainable and responsible tourism, inclusive growth, and multiple-destination marketing. With Santa Rosa consisting of several parks, all of which are privately owned, it is a compelling and sufficient reason to authorize the establishment of the People's Park. This bill seeks to create and establish a People's Park in the City of Santa Rosa to provide economic and commercial opportunities, which will thereafter generate income and job opportunities to the benefit and welfare of every Rosenian as a promise of diverse but inclusive progress. In view of the foregoing, the immediate passage of this proposed measure is earnestly sought.

1. Overview of the Legislation Republic Act No. 11954 establishes the Maharlika Investment Fund (MIF), the Philippines' first-ever sovereign wealth fund. Managed by a newly created government-owned corporation called the Maharlika Investment Corporation (MIC), the fund pools state resources to make high-return investments in assets like foreign currencies, corporate bonds, real estate, and major infrastructure projects. 2. The Legislative Fast-Track and Authorship The push for the MIF was heavily driven by the administration's inner circle. House Bill No. 6398 was filed in late 2022 with Speaker Martin Romualdez and Rep. Sandro Marcos acting as primary political drivers. Meanwhile, Marikina Representative Stella Quimbo served as the technical and economic "face" of the bill, aggressively defending its financial structure in the media and during committee hearings. The speed of its passage was unprecedented for a bill of this magnitude: -It took only 17 days for the House of Representatives to deliberate and approve the bill after it was filed. -President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. certified the bill as "urgent," allowing Congress to bypass standard constitutional rules requiring bills to be read on three separate days. -It was signed into law in July 2023, just nine months after its initial proposal, despite massive pushback from civil society, academia, and the business sector. 3. The Pension Controversy and Funding Sources The most explosive controversy during the bill's drafting was its original funding mechanism. The first iterations of the bill mandated that the Government Service Insurance System (GSIS) and the Social Security System (SSS) contribute billions in pension funds to bankroll Maharlika. The public backlash was so severe that lawmakers were forced to scrap this provision. The final law sources its initial ₱125 billion capitalization from: -Land Bank of the Philippines (LBP): ₱50 billion -Development Bank of the Philippines (DBP): ₱25 billion -National Government: ₱50 billion (sourced from Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas dividends and gaming revenues from PAGCOR). 4. Core Criticisms and "Red Flags" Economists from the University of the Philippines, various business groups (like the Makati Business Club), and political watchdogs opposed the fund due to several critical structural risks: No Budget Surplus: Sovereign wealth funds are traditionally created by countries with massive trade surpluses or excess oil revenues (like Norway or Middle Eastern nations). The Philippines, however, runs a severe budget deficit and carries trillions of pesos in national debt. Critics argue it is fiscally irresponsible to invest borrowed money or drain existing banks to play the stock market. Threat to Public Banks: By pulling ₱75 billion from Landbank and DBP, critics warned that these institutions would have their lending capacities crippled. This directly risks reducing the financial support available to local farmers, micro-entrepreneurs, and agricultural sectors. Corruption and the "1MDB" Comparison: The most enduring criticism is the risk of political patronage and plunder. Opponents frequently drew parallels to Malaysia's 1MDB scandal, where billions of dollars were embezzled from their sovereign wealth fund. Because the MIC Board of Directors is composed entirely of presidential appointees, watchdogs warned that the fund lacks true independence and could be used to bankroll crony projects or "ghost" investments. 5. Current Status The Maharlika Investment Corporation is currently active, with Rafael Consing Jr. appointed as its President and CEO. It has begun looking into its initial investments, recently agreeing to provide a $76.4 million bridge loan to a mining company, though foreign investor interest has reportedly remained lukewarm due to lingering concerns over transparency and safeguards.

On December 24, 2025, Batangas 1st District Rep. Leandro Legarda Leviste released what he described as a list of Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) proponents for the 19th Congress, which he said was allegedly provided to him by the late DPWH Undersecretary Maria Catalina “Cathy” Cabral. According to Leviste, the document details proposed DPWH allocations linked to various lawmakers nationwide. He stressed that the list was shared for public awareness and transparency, while also clarifying that the information should be treated as alleged and subject to verification. Included in the list are two incumbent lawmakers from Zambales. The document indicates that Zambales 1st District Rep. Jefferson “Jay” F. Khonghun is allegedly associated with projects totaling ₱3,011,382,000, while Zambales 2nd District Rep. Doris “Nanay Bing” F. Maniquiz is allegedly linked to a higher amount totaling ₱10,541,882,000. Leviste did not claim that the listed amounts were personally received by the lawmakers, reiterating that DPWH funds are allocated for infrastructure projects and not for individual proponents. He likewise noted that the list reflects proposed or associated project allocations, not confirmed disbursements. Leviste said he has provided copies of the document to members of the media to allow independent scrutiny, emphasizing that discussions surrounding public infrastructure funds should be grounded in transparency and verified facts.
