<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">Some information in this report may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of
Section&nbsp;27A of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933 and Section&nbsp;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; &#147;expect,&#148; &#147;may,&#148; &#147;will&#148; or other similar words.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">A forward-looking statement may include a 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&nbsp;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 align="left" style="font-size: 11pt">MANILA, Philippines, December&nbsp;13, 2010 &#150;- The Philippine Long Distance Telephone Co. (PLDT)&nbsp;is
transforming the face, feel and future of the fixed line business with a new offering that bundles
a landline service with a touch-screen tablet and a high speed myDSL service all under one service
plan.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 11pt">The PLDT TelPad unit includes a special handset that also serves as a charging dock for an
application-rich, 7-inch screen tablet computer. Subscribers can use the handset or the portable
tablet computer to make and receive phone calls and access over a hundred thousand online
applications. This is on top of the unlimited broadband access of the bundled service.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 11pt">&#147;We are reshaping the future of the landline and we are starting to bring it to the market now,&#148;
said PLDT president and CEO Napoleon L. Nazareno. &#147;We are proud that the PLDT TelPad was
conceptualized and developed here in the Philippines using world-class technology.&#148;


<P align="left" style="font-size: 11pt">The PLDT TelPad tablet is powered by a 1Ghz Cortex A8 processor that enables the device to deliver
snappy performance. It runs on Android&#146;s latest operating system version 2.2, which offers genuine
multi-tasking capabilities. Users of TelPad can download a wide range of applications from the
Android Market, Google&#146;s online store which offers over 125,000 applications like business apps,
e-books and magazines and digital games like the highly popular Angry Birds.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 11pt">Storage won&#146;t be a problem as the unit&#146;s 2GB internal capacity can be augmented by an SD card and
USB slot for extended storage. The TelPad also carries a 2-megapixel front camera for still shots
and videoconference calls.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 11pt">The PLDT TelPad service starts at Plan 1849 with 1-megabit-per-second (Mbps) broadband connection
and landline service. The PLDT TelPad unit comes bundled with the plan. Existing PLDT myDSL
customers only need to add as low as P500/month to upgrade to the TelPad plans.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 11pt">The other PLDT TelPad plans are Plan 2099 at 1.5 Mbps (P2,099 per month), Plan 3095 at 2.5 Maps,
and Plan 4100 at 3.5 Mbps. All these are inclusive of the landline phone and myDSL broadband
service.

<P align="left" style="font-size: 11pt">&#147;We&#146;ve packed the PLDT TelPad with features that will dramatically change how we use landlines,&#148;
said PLDT Senior Vice President Eric R. Alberto, adding that the Philippine market, with its
growing number of &#145;netizens&#146;, is ready for an innovative service such as the PLDT Telpad.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 11pt">&#147;We expect TelPad will be very well received and will create a new market of adopters to this new
and exciting service. We are bringing back relevance to and expanding the value proposition of the
landline in the home,&#148; he added.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 11pt">&#147;We have reinvented the landline to take on the emerging digital lifestyle and the growing consumer
appetite for rich multi-media content&#148;, said Dan Ibarra PLDT Group Head of Retail Business.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 11pt">&#147;The intuitive design allows subscribers to access information, entertainment and lifestyle apps
easily with simple touch of the screen. Aside from Android based applications such as e-readers,
news widgets and games, there are other apps being developed for a more enjoyable PLDT TelPad
experience,&#148; Ibarra added.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 11pt">Patrick Tang, PLDT Vice President for Retail Voice, said PLDT Telpad highlights the enhanced value
of landlines to households and businesses. &#147;The PLDT TelPad tablet has built-in widgets and many
applications that can access PLDT-run content-rich portals such as PLDT@Home, askPLDT and very
soon, even PLDT Watchpad, which is PLDT&#146;s online multi-media entertainment portal.&#148;


<P align="left" style="font-size: 11pt">Subscribers who enjoy a multi-media lifestyle can also take advantage of the TelPad&#146;s built-in HDMI
port which can be plugged into any flat screen TV allowing subscribers to watch movies, play games
and very soon, even sing along with the Videoke app on the TV&#146;s larger screen, making the
multimedia experience richer. The TelPad tablet can also be used to listen to music, read e-mail
and display photo slideshows.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 11pt">Its web-based interface and multi-media functions also opens the door for new communities and
services that provide information and entertainment through its wide range of home- and
business-based applications.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 11pt">Recently, PLDT also completed the P2.8-billion upgrade of the PLDT Domestic Fiber Optic Network,
the country&#146;s most extensive and resilient fiber optic network with a total of 10,050 kilometers
connecting 68 nodes and equipped with a total network bandwidth capacity of 1.56 Terabytes.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 11pt">This will support the high-bandwidth requirements of innovations such as the PLDT TelPad, Alberto
said.
