GETTING close to the first anniversary of when it was first taken up by Congress, the law is passed, the implementing rules have yet to be released, and the board and management may be announced soon. The other issues and challenges this Marcos administration faces will be largely in response to long-term issues that have bedeviled prior administrations, not just his. Maharlika and its success or failure will be solely his and that of his administration. Not being a partisan and hoping for a success and not a fiasco, I offer here some unsolicited advice made in a constructive spirit.
