"I don't like to speculate when I don't know. Enough people do that." What a gem. That's why he makes sense always.More of Stevie Cuunjieng so Filipinos and the government will hear more sense.
Absolutely no crystal balls. Educated guess. Gut feel. These are better alternatives for seasoned economic managers, leaders. Look at all the angles and the classic cost/ benefit analysis. BE like a captain of a ship. Maneuver, adjust, and keep an eagle eye on everything.
Our leaders misunderstand how business operates. Companies don't thrive on money alone; trust is their lifeblood. A company grounded in trust can weather any storm because, as long as people believe in it, it can continue to prosper. Regardless of the amount of money at their disposal, entities without trust are destined to falter. The unappealing nature of the MIF to foreign countries highlights our government's, the people's, and the Philippines' collective deficiency in trust when it comes to financial management, capability, transparency, accountability, and good governance. We must prioritize building trust before embarking on such financial endeavors. The system shapes behavior.
There are some loopholes and unintended consequences of the quick passage of the Maharlika. So it turned out to be a shameful exercise in futility. Nakakahiya talaga, mga congressman na sipsip sunud-sunuran lang walang sariling panindigan, we should not adopt this culture of prejudice blatant political partisanship because such failure should have been avoided.
Lending to non-bankable projects just increased the moral hazard 10 times using leverage .... 750 billion available to lend also means 750 billion potential writedowns if those government sponsored projects go broke ... potentially wiping out the entire capital of landbank and DBP. Leverage cuts both ways.
Sir Steve, you are the best financial expert who knows how to explain things succintly for easy understanding. That is why I always watch & listen to all your interviews if I know of them. Thank you for your efforts.
I always love the interaction between Michelle and Stevie. They seemingly know each other. Stevie is a given, but Michelle just knows what questions to ask. Thank you for these insights!
They're used to railroaded passing of laws that nobody bothered to ask the most basic questions for the fund. It would have been subjected to wasteful spending without accountability. Prone to abuse for vagueness and easy escape for perpetrators. Thanks for standing up against ignorance.
@donskidarko Gov't could not afford him I guess.😂 Sir Stevie can explain complex concept in a simplest manner that even myself who is not a business grad can understand. Furthermore, he is right, pag parepareho mag-isip ang mga tao sa boardroom, find another person who thinks differently--brilliant ideas will prevail. Always a breath of fresh air listening to him.
This is where you distinguish between education and experience. Experience in banking really says a lot. Sir Stevie is correct. The simplest answer is the most logical ones. This is another arrow to the Philippine Congress. Ayusin niyo naman trabaho niyo. Hay. Sir Stevie, nice one. I saw your June interview and my first response was "Oo nga ano", but did not really sink in during that time; because, well, I thought that was just a plausible theory and I have not experienced it first hand. But then again, I see now. Hahaha. Thank you Sir Stevie.
this is why i would like to raise the requirements to be a lawmaker. must be a lawyer and have an econ education. too many laws congress writes are just destructive economically.
Thank you for the mature voice Sir Steve, we as a nation should learn how to disagree without being disagreeable. Praise God that the president humbled himself, sana all 😅
Thanks for you insights Sir. These was voiced months ago, if only they had been heeded then, perhaps this could have been avoided. It's crucial that these insights are taken into account for future decisions.
👍😸 you yourself said you're old but you're MORE knowledgeable to handle finances as compared to these younger so called economic managers. The country needs you more, more of the oldies then. As you said more common sense. thanks for this video / interview. More power and best wishes. Please help them. 👍
This guy explained so much good compared to cong. Quimbo... of course they wont bring up because they think di nman nila pera yan.. that's all about it.🤦🤗
Sir Stephen just want to ask- if it's suspended, where is the P75B now?? Can they return it for the meantime that it is not yet 100% final because-- it might end up in the hands of the "corrupt".. What do you think?? Just an opinion 🤓 thanks Sir! hope this country has million minds like yours sir.. God bless😊
This is a very insightful discussion concerning investment management sir Stevie. I am convinced that with your qualifications you'll be a very good and highly capable advisor in fund management not for MIF but for my startup company under fast agreement 😅
Kudos to you sir very easy to understand why in a hurry to transfer the whole fund of dbp l and land bank when you can withdraw what is only needed its smells fishy
I think lawmakers in the Phiippines need more knowlege, training, expertise in the field of finance for the country. Knowledge is power, wisdom is the principal thing.
Very good analysis! Fully agree! I came from UP Diliman, DLSU MBA and FEU LAW. Plus 35 years with the Top Four Intl. bank. I saw when the derivatives market ( worthless mortgage papers) were converted into commercial papers, and saw it imploding in less than five years. Kaboom! The 2008 global financial meltdown, due to myopic visionaries, designers of the derivative product. A complete disaster, engineered by the bright boys in the banking industry. A hard pill to swallow, a humbling experience, even a haphazard criminal act, which the FEDS missed to scrutinize...... So there... 1929. 1997. 2008. Need another one??
boss gamitin ko to sa essay pang closing. SALAMAT LAB U btw, tru dat those were loans where they restructured into another loan product enabling people to get mortgages amidst incapacity. fotaaa
What I'm understanding in this interview is that the money invested by dbp and land bank just sits there in the maharlika investment fund. The money is not moving which is a bad thing?
Yes and no. Yes, it will not make money since they havent setup the fund yet and those funds will sleep during that time. And no since the main point of discussion is that DBP and Landbank will be crippled as far as its lending operations is concerned since a portion of its equity will be allocated to the Maharlika fund. So even if the prefunding issue is addressed (issue 1), the issue of the crippled capital of these two banks still remain. Bottomline, they rushed this without thinking. Hilaw na hilaw kasi siguro marami may gustong sumawsaw.
Thanks for this episode. Super educational. Your resource person is truly an investment expert who should have been consulted by legislators with hardly a working knowledge of investment funds operations and management.
Sir Steve you're really retired now? As you said, you're too old for the job but you look like younger than the common retirees. 😅 You're insights is always the Best Sir Steven but may I request for a more lighter explanation so it will be inclusive for everyone watching the show. Sometimes i got lost with the terms you used which I'm not familiar.😢 Mas maigi po sana kung on Filipino language kaso english channel po kasi ng anc. Tingin ko po your insights will be more louder if we can understand it correctly. If it is going to be louder and louder you will gain traction from media outlets and our government to listen to you 🤗
So you mean, setting up Maharlika investment fund must be set-up as "barrowed" so that the Tier 1 whatever it is will not be directly contributing to the fund as an equity because it will affect the capacity of the bank to support loans upto750million? (is this correct?) will not that affect the Maharlika investment decisions if the DBP and Land bank of the Philippines have no direct control over this investment fund as an equity owner?
They cannot recruit good representation of intelligent people because these same people will have the same prognosis - the fund is an exercise in futility. Govt has no excess funds to use.
I agree with you Sir on your narratives, I believed you're more knowledgeable than those in the current government economic managers, but in your previous interviews with a foreign media where you belittle local working filipinos capabilities weak working performances, I disagree with your perceptions.
Binawi ulit ni PBBM ang suspension ng implementasyon ng Maharlika IRR! Haaaaay! Isang araw suspendido at bawi agad pagkaraan nang isang araw! Paano nag review nang IRR nang isang araw? Haaay! Ang nireview lang yata ni PBBM nang isang araw ay yoong organization structure na gusto nyang iupo?😮😮😮
Simula palang natawa na ako don sa pagturn over daw ng fund ng lbp at dbp 75 B. Kahit sinong mahina ang ulo, mag iisip, anong gagawin ng ganong kalaking pera don, e di pa nga nagstart?😂😂😂😂
My learnings for today: (1) equity investment is not tier 1 capital for banks. (2) there is opportunity cost for banks if depositor money does not earn (3) debt is given higher rating than equity with regard to capital requirements (4) reserve requirement is at least 10% (75B of 750B). Hope my understanding is correct.
Sorry it isn’t correct. Equity is tier 1 but if allocated somewhere else like Maharlika then it is allocated so can’t be uses to be tier 1 buffer for loans. Debt is lower rated for bank capital and it has to meet certain criteria to get some capital treatment. That is why the bank has to be careful is making equity investments versus the usual loans which are debts. Reserve requirements for loans have a range depending on whether performing or not and so on, but for overall tier 1 capital for the bank itself it needs to usually be about 10%. Thank you for your kind interest.
Great amendment proposels, including the note on the Indonesisn govt being the biggest shateholder but being a minority in the INA sovereign development fund making it clear that investors into INA will bot have a governance problem But actually Fitch was the first to say it on April 18 - that DBP and LBP capital adequacy would become problematic :-)
Well the Tier 1 capital issue was brought up on X ( twitter) quite a lot. Many analyst did and even tagged BsP and congress. So they know but just decided to turn a blind eye
This could've all been avoided if people rose up and didn't allow the Smartmatic elected President to sit in Malacanang. What can you expect from a coke user?
Not unprecedented but feels this way given the scale of this initiative. Thanks for speaking your mind and the heart behind this (something that also should be commended) Sir Stevie. Btw, win on the Mona Lisa song reference.
why isnt this guy in the office for managing funds? well its a sh*t show to start, why get into something na puro pacute lang. kudos to this guy. really knows what he's saying
Would Mr. Cuunjieng still favourably recommend pursuing a Maharlika Investment Fund that is apparently bound to fail right from the start since, actually, surplus funds which is supposed to start it up are non-existent?
Maharlika fund - Teka teka! When all the king's men are too focused on getting his attention! Allocate na Pera kahit wala pa IRR ng law at line up ng directors! Sovereign wealth fund or funds to spur local development? Money that could have been used as loans to spur growth in the countryside. Imagine 75B would have easily translated to 750B of loans! Na sobrahan Unity, they bundled everything up to make it look good kahit Palpak! Raise the roof!
@@onlinesignsanddisplays3484 nobody said he is, IN THE FIRST PLACE. but having listened to the opinions made by mr. cuunjieng, i agree more to the man than to the position of mr. diokno. his words on where MIF is focused as per their plan should be considered. never disagree to your "interests of the powers that be", you said it perfectly. btw, out of the topic, how come mr diokno have not expressed any single disagreement on the mup's pensions when he was in another position in the past administration but is now raising howls as he now worries about the most-likely deficits in the budget. Just MAKES ME THINK why. personally, i don't agree with the current full government subsidy on these pensions. the philippines have other government workers - teachers, nurses, doctors, who else - who are all contributing for their future pensions.
@@onlinesignsanddisplays3484 true that, but those are just coined names of the famous. and seriously, and look at it yourself, bbmj's suspending the implementation of the mif should contain your guy's involvement ie they could have look at their "irr's" much better. although my opinion that is more of "the polite way" of saying pag-aralan natin ulit from the government.
It’s because Marcos idea of his role as president is to inspire the Filipino people. He is an Imelda Jr. The last remaining Marcos loyalists are those from the Imelda faction. The Ferdinand Marcos technocrat cronies have moved on. The remaining loyalists are the party going high society glam boys and girls. Imelda thinks she was the inspiration that sparked the new society and the golden era of the Phil. And that’s how BBM thinks his role is: to inspire development. Not actually do it. So how do you inspire development? You wear beautiful clothes. Parade yourself on the world stage. Oh yes that’s what you do. Bahala na universe to what happens after. Liza will manage to slide his three boys through. We are dealing with Imelda 2.0
I hope President Marcos would have time to watch this. These are important points missed out due to people holding very delicate positions but don't have the necessary credibility & experience, much more the expertise to oversee such heavy responsibilities. We could have gotten that blind side and suffered the severe consequences. 'Positive you are Always up to the Pinas best economic position. 'Always appreciative of people like you, doing their social responsibilities seriously.
Too bad that the BBM admin ,did not consult you and other ''instant '' economic experts and grandstanding opposition politicians [pimentel ,et al.].. And where are the economic experts of the administration.. But the saving grace for BBM is that he listens to the concern of people /economic experts to suspend the Maharlika Fund..
as I heard sen. Pimentel issue is about the legality of maharlika investment funds, he is a lawyer / senator and not an "instant economic expert" as what you have branded him. ✌️🙏👍
Oh wow, feels like a time travel back to my college years. My enthusiasm for learning has been triggered 😊. I'm all ears. You need to have a full show Sir. Btw, you sounded like my mentor, Mr. William or WRCU (same surname), don't know if you're related. All the best, Mr. Stephen.
I really hope the right people will be appointed. also agree with the equity being shelled out by DBP & LB all at once? not even staggered? I hope there's no malicious intent. I hope the right people are appointed. I'm sure matalino mga professor or government posts. Pero iba parin private sectors iba yung practice sa theory always good insights from boss stevie
The lowest cost of capital for the government is to issue government bonds ... if the project is not viable even with the least cost of capital ... how should it be funded otherwise ? ... therein lies the moral hazard of central planners who believe they know what is best. Someone has to foot the bill ... there is no such thing as a free lunch.
If the project is not viable with even the least cost of capital ... the better question I think is ... should it be funded in the first place ? If the answer is yes like it will bring more economic prosperity to the country, then it's the proponent's job to sell the project so that it can be funded with the least cost of capital. Circumventing that process will just create a moral hazard of capital not being properly allocated.
It seem stheir mind is far trom that negative aspect they may be thinking ow things will ger better in the long run if they still can run somewhere if they will be welcome maybe in cayman island
Naiforward n ng landbank pera sa maharlika fund. Tapos kinancel so natengga pera. They are now using that money for high return investment for their own personal gains😂
No need Maharlika Funds. There's so many investment already in placed in The Philippines since time immemorial. Nakubra ng Dating Administration ang pera ng Philippines. IT'S BETTER THE AQUINO AND RAMOS ADMINISTRATIONS. THEY ELEVATED NINOY INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT INTO 5 TERMINALS. THEN 12 REGIONAL AIRPORTS WERE ELEVATED TO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORTS LIKE LAOAG, CLARK, BIKOL, CEBU, ZAMBOANGA, PUERTO PRINCESA, DAVAO, ILOILO, ZAMBOANGA, BORACAY CATIKLAN. EVEN CORY AQUINO IN 1988, DECLARED OFW THE MODERN DAY HEROES WHEN THEY REMITTED TO THEIR FAMILIES WORTH $20 BILLION YEARLY. THEY IMPROVED THE NUMBER OF TOWNS TO BECOME CITIES SPREAD OUT FROM APARRI TO JOLO WITH 100 CITIES. LIKE MAKATI CITY, BASILAN, CARCAR, BAYBAY, CATBALOGAN, SIARGAO AND MORE TAN 100 CITIES MORE.

Thanks
Hi stevie i am your fan
Deeply appreciated
Would Mr. Cuunjieng still favourably recommend pursuing a Maharlika Investment Fund that is apparently bound to fail right from the start since, actually, surplus funds which is supposed to start it up are non-existent?
Halatang hindi mo naintindihan mga sinabi nya 😂😂😂 nagmamaru ka pa dyan manahimik ka nalang
I said it depends on the various aspects I raised
@@johnnyrichy Sorry po, Sir, kung di ko napantayan ang katalinuhan mo. Pero, di Naman siguro masamang magtanong.

100% on point.
Deeply appreciated
Maharlika fund - Teka teka!
When all the king's men are too focused on getting his attention!
Allocate na Pera kahit wala pa IRR ng law at line up ng directors!
Sovereign wealth fund or funds to spur local development?
Money that could have been used as loans to spur growth in the countryside. Imagine 75B would have easily translated to 750B of loans! Na sobrahan Unity, they bundled everything up to make it look good kahit Palpak! Raise the roof!
Calling all those "supporters-to-death" loyalists, Benjamin JOKEno, to listen to this.
Thanks
Diokno isnt stupid. But but but… the interests of the powers that be always take precedence over national interest.
@@onlinesignsanddisplays3484 nobody said he is, IN THE FIRST PLACE. but having listened to the opinions made by mr. cuunjieng, i agree more to the man than to the position of mr. diokno. his words on where MIF is focused as per their plan should be considered. never disagree to your "interests of the powers that be", you said it perfectly.
btw, out of the topic, how come mr diokno have not expressed any single disagreement on the mup's pensions when he was in another position in the past administration but is now raising howls as he now worries about the most-likely deficits in the budget. Just MAKES ME THINK why. personally, i don't agree with the current full government subsidy on these pensions. the philippines have other government workers - teachers, nurses, doctors, who else - who are all contributing for their future pensions.
@@poreyndyerpinoy well you did call him a joke. :) that aside, its all politics. Nothing is beneath them.
@@onlinesignsanddisplays3484 true that, but those are just coined names of the famous. and seriously, and look at it yourself, bbmj's suspending the implementation of the mif should contain your guy's involvement ie they could have look at their "irr's" much better. although my opinion that is more of "the polite way" of saying pag-aralan natin ulit from the government.
It’s because Marcos idea of his role as president is to inspire the Filipino people. He is an Imelda Jr. The last remaining Marcos loyalists are those from the Imelda faction. The Ferdinand Marcos technocrat cronies have moved on. The remaining loyalists are the party going high society glam boys and girls. Imelda thinks she was the inspiration that sparked the new society and the golden era of the Phil. And that’s how BBM thinks his role is: to inspire development. Not actually do it. So how do you inspire development? You wear beautiful clothes. Parade yourself on the world stage. Oh yes that’s what you do. Bahala na universe to what happens after. Liza will manage to slide his three boys through. We are dealing with Imelda 2.0
I hope President Marcos would have time to watch this. These are important points missed out due to people holding very delicate positions but don't have the necessary credibility & experience, much more the expertise to oversee such heavy responsibilities. We could have gotten that blind side and suffered the severe consequences. 'Positive you are Always up to the Pinas best economic position. 'Always appreciative of people like you, doing their social responsibilities seriously.
Deeply appreciated
Hallelujah! Common sense!
Many thanks
Too bad that the BBM admin ,did not consult you and other ''instant '' economic experts and grandstanding opposition politicians [pimentel ,et al.].. And where are the economic experts of the administration.. But the saving grace for BBM is that he listens to the concern of people /economic experts to suspend the Maharlika Fund..
many thanks
Same sa price cap sa rice
as I heard sen. Pimentel issue is about the legality of maharlika investment funds, he is a lawyer / senator and not an "instant economic expert" as what you have branded him. ✌️🙏👍
@@jellmaker9941 I did not brand him as that
@@scuunjiengmy reply is not for you Sir, its for the guy above who make that commitment! ✌️🙏👍
Obviously, Bongbong Marcos doesn't know what he's doing!
NAIINTINDIHAN MO BA CNABI NYA ? HAHAHAAH
Brilliant.
Thanks
This man's wisdom. Omg. Goosebumps.
Many thanks
Secretary of Finance Diokno and BBM's economic managers should RESIGN NOW !

The Romualdez-Araneta Administration is Incompetent
13:50 💩😂 telling it like it really is. made my day. salamat po.
many thanks
Oh wow, feels like a time travel back to my college years. My enthusiasm for learning has been triggered 😊. I'm all ears. You need to have a full show Sir. Btw, you sounded like my mentor, Mr. William or WRCU (same surname), don't know if you're related. All the best, Mr. Stephen.
Thanks. Yes he is my uncle
Stevienomics book perhaps
Thanks!
I really hope the right people will be appointed. also agree with the equity being shelled out by DBP & LB all at once? not even staggered? I hope there's no malicious intent.
I hope the right people are appointed. I'm sure matalino mga professor or government posts. Pero iba parin private sectors iba yung practice sa theory
always good insights from boss stevie
Many thanks
👏👏👏
Many thanks
The lowest cost of capital for the government is to issue government bonds ... if the project is not viable even with the least cost of capital ... how should it be funded otherwise ? ... therein lies the moral hazard of central planners who believe they know what is best. Someone has to foot the bill ... there is no such thing as a free lunch.
If the project is not viable with even the least cost of capital ... the better question I think is ... should it be funded in the first place ? If the answer is yes like it will bring more economic prosperity to the country, then it's the proponent's job to sell the project so that it can be funded with the least cost of capital. Circumventing that process will just create a moral hazard of capital not being properly allocated.
It seem stheir mind is far trom that negative aspect they may be thinking ow things will ger better in the long run if they still can run somewhere if they will be welcome maybe in cayman island
Naiforward n ng landbank pera sa maharlika fund. Tapos kinancel so natengga pera. They are now using that money for high return investment for their own personal gains😂
Amateur hours (on our taxes) spent on Maharlika. Good thing they stopped
malacanang realized they put in a lot of people who are vuvu.
No need Maharlika Funds. There's so many investment already in placed in The Philippines since time immemorial. Nakubra ng Dating Administration ang pera ng Philippines. IT'S BETTER THE AQUINO AND RAMOS ADMINISTRATIONS. THEY ELEVATED NINOY INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT INTO 5 TERMINALS. THEN 12 REGIONAL AIRPORTS WERE ELEVATED TO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORTS LIKE LAOAG, CLARK, BIKOL, CEBU, ZAMBOANGA, PUERTO PRINCESA, DAVAO, ILOILO, ZAMBOANGA, BORACAY CATIKLAN. EVEN CORY AQUINO IN 1988, DECLARED OFW THE MODERN DAY HEROES WHEN THEY REMITTED TO THEIR FAMILIES WORTH $20 BILLION YEARLY. THEY IMPROVED THE NUMBER OF TOWNS TO BECOME CITIES SPREAD OUT FROM APARRI TO JOLO WITH 100 CITIES. LIKE MAKATI CITY, BASILAN, CARCAR, BAYBAY, CATBALOGAN, SIARGAO AND MORE TAN 100 CITIES MORE.
He makes too much sense, that's why the know-it alls ignored him and other like-minded people.
Thanks
