forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the U.S.
Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of
1934.  We have based these forward-looking statements on our current beliefs,
expectations and intentions as to facts, actions and events that will or may
occur in the future.  Such statements generally are identified by
forward-looking words such as &#147;believe,&#148; &#147;plan,&#148; &#147;anticipate,&#148; &#147;continue,&#148; &#147;estimate,&#148;

statement of the assumptions or bases underlying the forward-looking
statement.  We have chosen these assumptions or bases in good faith.  These
forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions,
some of which are beyond our control.  In addition, these forward-looking
statements reflect our current views with respect to future events and are not
a guarantee of future performance.  Actual results may differ materially from
information contained in the forward-looking statements as a result of a number
of factors, including, without limitation, the risk factors set forth in
&#147;Item&nbsp;3. Key Information &#150; Risk Factors&#148; in our annual report on Form 20-F
for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008.  You should also keep in mind that
any forward-looking statement made by us in this report or elsewhere speaks
only as at the date on which we made it.  New risks and uncertainties come up
from time to time, and it is impossible for us to predict these events or how
they may affect us.  We have no duty to, and do not intend to, update or revise
the statements in this report after the date hereof.  In light of these risks
and uncertainties, you should keep in mind that actual results may differ
materially from any forward-looking statement made in this report or elsewhere.</p>

<p style='text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph' style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">XX Nov 2009 &#150; Mabuhay Satellite Corporation (MSC) and Asia Broadcast Satellite (ABS) announced that they
have signed an agreement for the sale and purchase of substantially all of the
business of MSC. The closing of the transaction will occur upon the issuance of
the necessary regulatory U.S. governmental approvals.</p>

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

<p style='text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph' style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">MSC's Agila-2 satellite is a Space
Systems/Loral FS-1300 spacecraft launched in Aug 1997.  The satellite has a payload consisting of 24
Standard C-Band and 6 Extended C-Band transponders  covering Asia  from India
to Philippines, Japan to Indonesia, and a C-band spot beam over Hawaii to
provide connectivity to the USA.   It also has 24 Ku-band transponders covering
the Philippines, Coastal China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong providing capacity for TV
distribution, DTH and VSAT services.</p>

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

<p style='text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph' style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">The MSC Subic Space Center is a
state-of-the-art satellite communications facility in the Philippines providing
full satellite operations, payload and client monitoring, tracking, telemetry
and control services for Agila-2 in geostationary orbit, and a full Network
Operations Center (NOC) managed 24/7 by highly trained professionals.&nbsp;</p>

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

<p style='text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph' style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">&#147;ABS, while one of the youngest satellite
operators in Asia, has been very progressive with its recent procurement of the
ABS-1A, and ABS-2 satellites as part of its fleet&#146;s expansion. We are happy
with this acquisition, which leverages the satellite operations capabilities
developed through the years by Mabuhay Satellite. This will not only ensure
future continuity of Mabuhay&#146;s Subic Space Center but will thrust it into
growth as this facility is further expanded to support ABS growing satellite
operations needs.&#148;, said Mr. Gabriel Z. Pimentel, CEO of MSC.</p>

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

<p style='text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph' style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">&#147;We are very pleased and excited to work
with MSC to conclude this transaction.   The acquisition of MSC is very
strategic for ABS because of the many synergies it creates in combining MSC's
range of applications, operational expertise and business relationships with
our future growth and long term objectives.   ABS will maintain all of Mabuhay's operations in the
Philippines and the staff will be integrated with the ABS team&#148;, said Mr. Tom Choi, CEO of Asia Broadcast
Satellite.  &#147;We feel that this is the perfect complementary marriage of the two
companies.&#148;</p>
