OFFERS FROM PILTEL CREDITORS REPRESENTING 68.4% OF PILTEL&#146;S OUTSTANDING
RESTRUCTURED DEBT </u></b></p>

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

<p style='text-align:justify' style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><b><i>Manila,
Philippines, June 1, 2004</i></b> &#150; Smart
Communications, Inc (&#147;Smart&#148;), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Philippine Long
Distance Telephone Company (&#147;PLDT&#148;) (PSE:TEL) (NYSE:PHI), announced today that
in response to its invitations to creditors of Pilipino Telephone Corporation
(&#147;Piltel&#148;) to sell their Piltel debt, Smart had received, as of the close of
business on May 31<sup>st</sup>, 2004, offers from Piltel creditors representing
approximately 68.4% in aggregate of the outstanding restructured Piltel debt.
All minimum thresholds in respect of individual facilities were met, other than
that set for Piltel&#146;s bonds (Conversion Notes).  </p>

<p style='text-align:justify' style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">Given the high
acceptance level from Piltel&#146;s creditors, Smart would still be able to proceed
with the transaction.  Smart has a period of 90 days from the end of the offer
period in which to determine if it will proceed with, and then close, the
transaction.  If Smart does elect to proceed with the debt exchange, it would
hope to close the transaction by the end of July 2004.</p>

<p style='text-align:justify' style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">However, as the 75%
aggregate threshold has not been met, Smart will need to review the matter with
the Board of Directors of both PLDT and Smart.  PLDT&#146;s next Board meeting is
scheduled for June 8<sup>th</sup>, 2004 and, until then, Smart is prepared to
entertain any further offers for Piltel&#146;s debt on the same economic terms. </p>
