MANILA, Philippines- Tiniyak ng Maharlika Investment Corporation (MIC), na nagsumite ng kanyang courtesy resignation si MIC president at CEO Rafael Consing bilang bahagi ng nagpapatuloy na ‘executive overhaul’ sa ilalim ng administrasyong Marcos.
“We at the Maharlika Investment Corporation (MIC) fully support President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.’s directive for courtesy resignations among GOCC (government-owned and -controlled corporations) leaders. We view this as an important and standard measure to uphold accountability and further strengthen public service,” ang sinabi ni Consing sa isang kalatas.
“In line with this, I have submitted my unqualified courtesy resignation,” ayon pa rin kay Consing.
Ito’y matapos na atasan ng Governance Commission for GOCCs (GCG) directed ang non ex-officio chairpersons, chief executive officers (CEOs) ng state-run firm, at lahat ng appointive directors/trustees/members ng kani-kanilang GOCCs’ governing boards na agad na magsumite ng kanilang courtesy resignations sa Pangulo sa pamamagitan ng Office of the Executive Secretary.
“The entire MIC Board of Directors also promptly complied, submitting their courtesy resignations immediately upon receiving the relevant memorandum from the Governance Commission for GOCCs (GCG),” ayon kay Consing.“We will all continue to diligently p
erform our respective duties and responsibilities until advised otherwise,” dagdag na pahayag ni Consing.
Ang Board of Directors ng state-run firm ay kinabibilangan ng GOCC-representatives Land Bank of the Philippines president Lynette Ortiz at Development Bank of the Philippines president Michael de Jesus bilang directors; regular director Vicky Castillo Tan; at independent directors Andrew Jerome Gan, German Lichauco II, at Roman Felipe Reyes.
Habang ang top executives ng GOCCs ay inatasan na magbitiw sa tungkulin, sinabi ng GCG na hanggang wala pang aksyon na ginagawa ang Office of the President (OP) sa courtesy resignations, “they shall continue to report for work and perform their usual duties and functions…”
Samantala, ang MILC ay nilikha sa pamamagitan ng Republic Act No. 11954 o Maharlika Investment Fund (MIF) Act of 2023, nilagdaan ni Pangulong Marcos noong July 2023, na may layuning gamitin ang mga state assets para sa investment ventures para makalikha ng karagdagang public funds. Kris Jose
