<p style='line-height:150%' style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0" style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><b>PLDT introduces new NDD rate to spur landline
business</b></h6>

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

<p style='text-align:justify' style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><i>MANILA, Philippines, February 13, 2005</i> &#150;
Philippine Long Distance Telephone Co. has recently introduced a promotional
flat rate of P10 for national direct dialing (NDD) calls and calls to Smart and
Talk &#145;N Text subscribers to encourage usage of the landline and gain new
subscribers.</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">Instead of the usual per
minute charge pegged at P5.00 per minute for NDD and P13.75 per minute for
calls to cellular phones, PLDT fixed line subscribers now have to pay only P10
per call regardless of how long the call takes.</p>

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

<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">PLDT
Retail Business Group Head Butch Jimenez said this new pricing scheme follows
the P50 peso per day scheme that PLDT tested on Christmas Day and New Year&#146;s
Day.</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 expect an increase in new
subscribers from these affordable call plans that we have initiated,&#148; he said.
&#147;The results of our earlier tests proved encouraging, so we are again launching
a promo that will make NDD calls and calls to Smart and Talk &#145;N Text even more
affordable.&#148;</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">During the last 4 years, PLDT
has lost an average of 85,000 subscribers per year primarily due to the
popularity of the cellular phone. But with the new rate the Company recently
tested, PLDT is on track to reverse that trend and start registering a net gain
of subscribers for 2005.</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">Jimenez said reconnection
figures also look promising for PLDT. In 2002, only 32 percent of those that
were temporarily disconnected requested for reconnection. In 2003, 30 percent
reconnected. In 2004, reconnection rate went up to 50 percent, while for 2005,
PLDT is targeting a reconnection rate of over 70 percent.</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;One of our main objectives
in the retail business group is to make the landline relevant again to our
subscribers, our recent moves seem to prove we are in the right direction,&#148; he
said.</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&#146;s latest offering shows
its dominance in terms of subscriber base. It has opened the new rate to over
19 million Smart and Talk &#145;N Text subscribers and nearly 2 million PLDT
landline subscribers. Major independent phone companies in the provinces and
PLDT subsidiaries and affiliates such as PLDT Clark Telecom Inc., Subic
Telecommunications Company Inc. and PLDT-Maratel Inc. are also included. All
told, the plan is open to over 21 million subscribers &#150; a base no other phone
company can provide.</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">Recently, PLDT also drove
down the price of its narrowband dial-up service, VIBE, to a promotional monthly
plan of P99 per month for more than 99 hours of Internet use per month (peak
and off-peak hours).</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;The subscriber uptake of our
new Vibe plan has been overwhelming,&#148; said Jimenez. &#147;If there is one thing that
will make a PLDT subscriber keep his landline, it will be access to the
Internet. So this strategy allows us to be successful on two fronts&#151;generating
additional revenue and keeping our landline subscribers hooked.&#148;</p>
