On Wednesday, December 14, 2022, as of 2:30 p.m., the House Bill No. 6608, which is attempting to establish the sovereign wealth fund got 251 MPs as co-authors, which is already close to 80% of the members of the chamber.

After the Social Security System and the Government Service Insurance System were eliminated as required sources of seed money for Maharlika, more House members publicly expressed their support for the proposal, which President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. backs.

Martin Romualdez, the Speaker of the House, left it up to his cousin PBBM to decide whether to declare the legislation urgent so that it might be approved on second and third readings on the same day.

Based on the report of the Philippine Star. House leaders had wanted to see passage of the Maharlika fund bill before Congress breaks for the holidays, but lawmakers’ final meeting before their break ended on Wednesday without doing so.

According to Romualdez’ office, the following is a list of all lawmakers who have so far agreed to be the bills’ authors.:
