The legislation says the MDIC could also be adjusted “in case a situation happens that threatens the financial and monetary stability of the banking system that will have systemic penalties.” Any change of the MDIC should have the PDIC board’s unanimous vote.
Additionally, the MDIC is up for revisiting each three years and the PDIC board of administrators is allowed to extend it, if crucial, with the approval of the President.
