It’s been discussed naman,” Dy shared. “There were already a few changes that have been discussed, so wait and see lang tayo if they are going to be applied this upcoming window.”However, much like how Cone and the SBP have been stressing ever since, these moves are around the margin as their main philosophy stays the same — focus and emphasis on continuity.“But what I can assure you is the core players are still the same,” said Dy.
