With the IRR now complete, President Marcos expressed, “Upon approval, we’ll swiftly establish the corporate structure, getting the MIF up and running.”
The finalization of the IRR was attended by various government officials, including Senior Undersecretary Elaine T. Masukat and Undersecretary Rodolfo John Robert C.

Before departing for the Association of Southeast Asian Nations-Gulf Cooperation Council (ASEAN-GCC) Summit in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia last month, President Marcos affirmed his commitment to operationalize the MIF before the year’s end.
“The organization of the MIF proceeds at pace,” President Marcos reiterated. (PND)
