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, 2009.  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>

network expansion</b></p>

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

<p style='text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph' style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><i>MANILA</i><i>, Philippines</i><i>, December 2,
2010</i> &#150;
Philippine Long Distance Telephone Co. (PLDT) has completed a P2.8-billion
expansion of its Domestic Fiber Optic Network (DFON), further extending the
reach and strengthening the resiliency of the country&#146;s most extensive
communications transmission network.</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 project, which is
part of the company&#146;s DFON Resiliency Improvement Program, involved the
installation of 1,300 kilometers of new terrestrial and submarine fiber optic
cables to carry voice, data and video traffic in Bicol and the Visayas and Mindanao regions.</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;Our transmission
backbone is now much more resilient, thus raising the quality and reliability
of our services. We can also provide more communities with both basic and
advanced broadband services, unlocking new economic opportunities for central
and southern Philippines,&#148; said PLDT President and CEO Napoleon L. Nazareno.</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">In the past, accidental
cable cuts have caused slowdowns in bandwidth speeds and even outages for some
retail and corporate customers in the affected areas. Natural disasters have
also adversely affected the network, hampering vital communications to a
certain extent.</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;This latest DFON expansion
greatly reduces the risk of downtimes which will benefit not only large
corporations but also small businesses and households,&#148; said Rolando G. Pe&#241;a,
PLDT Group Head for Customer Service Assurance.</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 project covers the
third leg of DFON Loop 4 from Lucena City to Cebu City, passing through 11
provinces. There are 1,070 kilometers of terrestrial fiber optic cables and 230
kilometers of submarine fiber optic cables, with three new DFON nodes or
stations in Calauag, Quezon; Naga, Camarines Sur; and Masbate, Masbate.</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">This expands the coverage
of DFON in provinces such as Quezon, Camarines Norte, Camarines Sur, Sorsogon,
Masbate, Capiz, Iloilo, Negros Occidental, Negros Oriental and Cebu.</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 new facilities are
equipped with the latest Automatic Switching Optical Network &#150; Sub Network
Control Protocol (ASON-SNCP) technology which will facilitate the automatic
rerouting of traffic in the event of cable cuts to ensure seamless,
uninterrupted telecommunications 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">Among the main
beneficiaries of this are the call centers and business process outsourcing
(BPO) companies that have high-bandwidth requirements and that need resilient
telecommunications networks.</p>

<p style='text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph' style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">&#147;By investing in
redundant facilities through the loops in DFON and various legs within the
loops, we have improved our ability to offer the levels of resiliency that
industries like banks, BPOs and call centers require,&#148; he added.</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 completion of the

connecting 68 nodes and equipped with a total network bandwidth capacity of
1.56 Terabytes.</p>
