Consent Solicitation for its US$71,986,000 10.625% Notes due 2007 </p>

<p align=center style='text-align:center' style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><a name="_DV_M2"></a>&nbsp;</p>

<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><a name="_DV_M3"></a>Manila, Philippines, October 6, 2005 &#150;
Philippine Long Distance Telephone Company (&#147;PLDT&#148;) announced today that it has
commenced a solicitation of consents from holders of its outstanding 11.375%
Notes due 2012 (the &#147;2012 Notes&#148;) to effect certain proposed amendments to the
2012 Notes (the &#147;2012 Notes Consent Solicitation&#148;).  In addition, PLDT has
commenced a cash tender offer for any and all of its outstanding
10.625% Notes due 2007  (the &#147;2007 Notes&#148;) in the aggregate principal amount of
US$71,986,000 and a related solicitation of consents from holders of the 2007
Notes to effect identical proposed amendments to the 2007
Notes (the &#147;2007 Notes Offer to Purchase&#148;).</p>

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

<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><i>Proposed amendments. </i> The proposed amendments will, once operative,
amend the covenants in the 2012 Notes and the 2007 Notes relating to the
limitation on restricted payments and the limitation on indebtedness.
Specifically, the proposed amendments would give PLDT greater flexibility to
make certain restricted payments, including payment of dividends to holders of
PLDT&#146;s common stock, and would reduce PLDT&#146;s permitted leverage ratio pursuant
to the terms of the notes.</p>

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

<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">PLDT has
significantly de-leveraged since the issuance of the 2012 Notes and the 2007
Notes, utilizing its cash flow from operations supplemented by dividends from
its subsidiary Smart Communications, Inc.  As a result of PLDT&#146;s improved cash
flows and reduced debt levels, PLDT restored the payment of common dividends in
May 2005, after suspending common dividend payments in April 2001, and intends
to gradually increase its dividend payout in succeeding years.   PLDT,
therefore, is seeking greater flexibility to make restricted payments,
including payment of dividends to its common shareholders   At the same time, PLDT&#146;s offer to tighten its leverage
ratio affirms its commitment to maintain its leverage ratios at healthy
levels. </p>

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

<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><i>2012 Notes Consent Solicitation.  </i>The 2012 Notes Consent Solicitation will
expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on Thursday, October 27, 2005, unless
extended or earlier terminated.  Only holders of the 2012 Notes
that deliver valid consents prior to such deadline will
receive a consent payment of US$5 for each US$1,000 principal amount of the
2012 Notes for which consents have been accepted. </p>

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

<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">The
terms and conditions of the 2012 Notes Consent Solicitation, including PLDT&#146;s
obligation to accept the consents delivered and pay the Consent Payment, are
set forth in PLDT&#146;s Consent Solicitation Statement dated October 6, 2005.  PLDT
may amend, extend or, subject to certain conditions, terminate the 2012 Notes
Consent Solicitation.  </p>

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

<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><i>2007 Notes Offer to Purchase.</i>  The 2007 Notes Offer to Purchase will expire
at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on Friday, November 4, 2005,
unless extended or earlier terminated (the &#147;Expiration Time&#148;).
Holders of the 2007 Notes who validly tender their notes prior to 5:00 p.m.,
New York City time, on Thursday, October 27, 2005,
unless extended (the &#147;Consent Payment Deadline&#148;), will be
entitled to receive US$1,097.50 for each US$1,000 principal amount of the 2007
Notes accepted for payment, which amount comprises (i) a consent payment of
US$5 (&#147;Consent Payment&#148;) and (ii) tender offer consideration of US$1,092.50
(&#147;Tender Offer Consideration&#148;).  Holders of the 2007 Notes who validly tender
their notes after the Consent Payment Deadline but prior to the Expiration Time
will be entitled to receive only the Tender Offer Consideration for each
US$1,000 principal amount of the 2007 Notes accepted for payment.  Holders tendering
their notes will be required to consent to the proposed amendments.
All holders tendering before the Expiration Time will be paid accrued and
unpaid interest on the principal amount tendered to, but excluding, the date
such notes are accepted.  </p>

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

<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">Holders
of the 2007 Notes may consent to the amendments without tendering their notes.
Non-tendering holders that deliver valid consents prior to the Consent Payment
Deadline will receive the Consent Payment for each US$1,000 principal amount of
the 2007 Notes for which consents have been accepted.</p>
