2004 Award</h6>

<p style='text-align:justify' style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><i>MANILA, Philippines, May 6, 2004</i> &#150; Philippine
Long Distance Telephone Co. recently bagged the Reader&#146;s Digest SuperBrands
2004 Platinum Award for being the most trusted and preferred brand for
telecommunications services in the country.</p>

<p style='text-align:justify' style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">&nbsp;</p>

<p style='text-align:justify' style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">&#147;We are very honored to have this award.
It only shows that Filipino consumers believe in our products and services and
that PLDT satisfies customers&#146; communications needs,&#148; said PLDT President and
CEO Napoleon L. Nazareno.</p>

<p style='text-align:justify' style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">&nbsp;</p>

<p style='text-align:justify' style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">The awardees were determined through a
survey conducted by Reader&#146;s Digest across 41 different product categories in
six key Asian markets, namely, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand
and the Philippines.</p>

<p style='text-align:justify' style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">&nbsp;</p>

<p style='text-align:justify' style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">Simon Cholmeley, Reader&#146;s Digest Regional
Advertising Director, said this survey could be a valuable reference tool for
consumers and marketers throughout Asia.</p>

<p style='text-align:justify' style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">&#147;To become a SuperBrand, the brand should have top of mind awareness,
that&#146;s always. But there are other criteria that include quality, value, strong
image, trustworthiness and understanding of customer needs. The Reader&#146;s Digest
SuperBrands survey measures all of these criteria. It is the readers who
determine the SuperBrand,&#148; he said during the recent awarding ceremonies for
the winners in the Philippines.</p>

<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">Raul Alvarez, PLDT Center Head for Marketing Services, said this award
would spur PLDT to continue innovating and providing excellent services.</p>

<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">&#147;We&#146;d like to reiterate our commitment to strive harder to give
customers the best service. Surveys and awards like this serve as a sign that
we are heading towards the right direction in achieving our goal,&#148; he said.</p>

<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">The survey was conducted
via mailed questionnaires plus telephone survey, handled by Nielsen Media
Research. A total of 6,000 valid responses were analyzed, 1,000 for each
country.</p>

<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">Respondents were asked to
name, unprompted, their most preferred brand for each category, then rate that
brand on a scale of 1 to 5 for five key attributes: quality, value,
trustworthiness, strong image and understanding of customer needs. A score was
then calculated for each mentioned brand to serve as a yardstick for
identifying the SuperBrands. Quantitative and qualitative data were used to
determine the winners.</p>

<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">Because PLDT achieved a score three times that of the nearest brand and
had an average quality rating of more than 4 on a scale of 1 to 5, it was
awarded the Platinum Award.</p>

<p style='text-align:justify' style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">&nbsp;</p>

<p style='text-align:justify' style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">&nbsp;</p>

<p style='text-align:justify' style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">The PLDT Group also recently obtained six
awards from two leading international finance magazines for its achievements in
overall management, corporate governance, financial administration and investor
relations.</p>

<p style='text-align:justify' style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">&nbsp;</p>

<p style='text-align:justify' style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">PLDT/Smart was chosen as the Best Managed
Company and the Best in Investor Relations in the Philippines by FinanceAsia in
its 2004 Asia&#146;s Best Companies Poll where 424 fund managers, portfolio
managers, equity investors and research analysts ranked companies in Asia.
PLDT/Smart also placed 2<sup>nd</sup> for Best in Corporate Governance in the
country.</p>

<p style='text-align:justify' style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">&nbsp;</p>

<p style='text-align:justify' style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">PLDT has also been chosen by investors
worldwide as the best-managed company in the Philippines in a recent survey by Asiamoney,
one of Asia&#146;s most influential financial magazines.  Some 201 investors from
180 institutions worldwide participated in Asiamoney&#146;s 2003 survey that ranked
Asia&#146;s leading listed companies.</p>
