The amendments explicitly authorize trust entities to participate as eligible counterparties, provided that only unit investment trust funds and investment management accounts may invest in these securities. This regulatory update aligns with Monetary Board Resolution No. 1486 and takes effect immediately upon publication in the Official Gazette or a newspaper of general circulation.
