(via Graphic Plus) TAGUIG CITY – Maharlika Investment Corporation is moving from the foundational to the execution stage, according to President and CEO Rafael D. Consing, Jr., in his New Year message at MIC’s for the flag-raising ceremony for 2026.
“Today, we begin the year of the Rise”, Consing said before the employees and personnel of Maharlika, where he laid out the plans for MIC for 2026.
Consing mentioned that fulfilling MIC’s mandate requires intellectual courage. He also emphasized that the MIC will not just be a passive investor but a catalyst for growth, investing in projects that provide high socio-economic multipliers for the Filipino people.
“Operational mastery means our systems must be as transparent as the Santiago Principles we uphold, yet as agile as the global markets we compete in. We will manage this fund with the precision of world-class asset managers and the heart of public servants,” Consing added.
For 2026, MIC plans to continue investing in the national grid and rural electricity distribution infrastructure. MIC is also advancing infrastructure development and logistics networks that will connect Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao to the rest of the world, enabling Filipino entrepreneurs to be globally connected and competitive. Furthermore, MIC will continue to fund agricultural projects to transform Philippine agriculture into a high-yield engine of food security.
“The eyes of the nation are on us, looking for execution. We have the capital, the mandate, and the talent. Now let us deliver results worthy of their trust.” Consing on his closing statement.
Last year, MIC concluded a series of landmark investment initiatives, including definitive agreements and memoranda of understanding with SGP, PALECO, Asian Terminal Inc., and CP Group. These engagements laid the groundwork for future investments and partnerships, with preparatory work now underway as the sovereign wealth fund advances its mandate.
