Finance Secretary Benjamin Diokno clarifies the claim of one media reporter that no president in the past was successful in making the Landbank and DBP merger successful when it comes to Congress. What would make President Bongbong Marcos different? He reminded her that the Filipino leader is supported by the supermajority. Not just by the voters but the major political groups composed of lawmakers in both the lower and upper houses. So, chances are, the president has the upper hand. Remember that the initiative was approved by Congress during the time of PNoy. But did not make it. It was also not implemented during the Duterte administration. In the current world economy, everything is uncertain. Who would think that Credit Suisse could collapse? The merger could give more leeway for the government’s project whatever happens. The wisdom of the president is far greater than his critics.
