TO PROCEED WITH PILTEL DEBT TRANSACTION </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 8, 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
the Board of Directors of PLDT has endorsed Smart&#146;s decision to proceed with
the Pilipino Telephone Corporation (&#147;Piltel&#148;) debt exchange transaction.  As of
today, Smart had received offers from Piltel creditors representing
approximately 69% in aggregate of the outstanding restructured Piltel debt, to
sell their Piltel debt to Smart.  </p>

<p style='text-align:justify' style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">Some Piltel creditors
who opted not to participate in the transaction nonetheless have indicated that
they will consent to certain amendments to the agreements governing Piltel&#146;s
restructured indebtedness, thus permitting Smart to achieve its overall
commercial objectives in proceeding to close the transaction. Given this
development, the PLDT Board has authorized Smart to proceed with the
transaction despite not having met the 75% aggregate acceptance level set
earlier.  </p>

<p style='text-align:justify' style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">Based on the offers
received by Smart, the following is a breakdown of the options to be allocated
to the participating Piltel creditors and their percentages of the total amount
of Piltel&#146;s outstanding restructured debt:<b> </b></p>

<p style='text-align:justify' style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">* Included in Other
Creditors are creditors representing 9.2% of Piltel&#146;s outstanding restructured
debt equivalent to US$38.1 million who had chosen the RoP-guaranteed bond
option and are going to be  allocated their chosen alternative option.  After
intensive efforts to arrange an appropriate RoP-guaranteed facility, Smart has
determined that it would not be possible to arrange this facility in time for
the proposed closing of the transaction.  Accordingly, Smart will be advising
those creditors who chose the RoP-guaranteed bond option of its decision to
provide them with their alternative selection, which in all cases, is the 2014
Smart debt.  </p>

<p style='text-align:justify' style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">Based on the
allocation above, Smart will be issuing US$278 million of new debt and paying
US$1.5 million of cash upfront.  Smart plans to close this debt transaction in
the month of July 2004.  Closing is subject to, among other things, the
trustees and agents of the various Piltel debt facilities confirming their
ability to act in the manner contemplated by the invitation, including to
enable implementation of the relevant waivers and amendments.</p>

<p style='text-align:justify' style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">In anticipation of
the successful closure of the debt exchange transaction and after having now
received consents from its creditors, Smart intends to commence the process of
acquiring PLDT&#146;s equity interests in Piltel and expects to complete this part
of the transaction later in the second half of 2004.  Smart reiterates that
should it successfully acquire PLDT&#146;s equity interests in Piltel, it is not Smart&#146;s
intention to enter into a legal statutory merger with Piltel, nor does it
intend to use Piltel as a backdoor listing vehicle.</p>
