<p align=center style='text-align:center' style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><b>Fitch
Revises PLDT's Outlook To Stable From Negative </b></p>

<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">Fitch Ratings-Hong Kong/Singapore-20 February 2006: Fitch Ratings has today
revised the Outlook on Philippine Long Distance Telephone Company's
(&quot;PLDT&quot;) Long-term foreign currency rating to Stable from Negative.
At the same time, Fitch has affirmed PLDT's Long-term foreign currency rating,
global bonds and senior notes at 'BB' and its convertible preferred stock at
'B+'. PLDT's Long-term local currency rating has also been affirmed at 'BB+'
with a Stable Outlook. </p>

<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">The revision in Outlook reflects a similar change in Fitch's Outlook on the
Republic of the Philippines' 'BB' foreign currency and 'BB+' local currency
ratings to Stable from Negative. PLDT's foreign currency and senior debt
instrument ratings are constrained by the sovereign foreign currency rating. On
the other hand, PLDT's Long-term local currency rating is not constrained. </p>
