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

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>

landline business</b></p>

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

<p style='text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph' style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><b><i>MANILA</i></b><b><i>, Philippines</i></b><b><i>, January 3, 2010</i></b> &#150; PLDT's new landline offer that
bundles a souped-up DSL service with a seven-inch tablet computer is bringing
the buzz back to the landline business.</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">Dubbed PLDT TelPad, the new offer
was introduced last December 13 and has since attracted growing consumer
interest, said PLDT Senior Vice President Eric R. Alberto.</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've received numerous inquiries.
Customers are making reservations for the service which will be implemented in
January. People are talking about it in blogs and social networks. We have not
had this much excitement in a landline service for many years,&#148; Alberto said.</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 PLDT TelPad unit includes a
special handset that also serves as a charging dock for an application-rich
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 DSL service.</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">Through the TelPad, PLDT aims to win
new DSL subscribers and get existing ones to upgrade their service.</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;Homes with wired broadband access
nationwide will be the first targets for the innovative service,&#148; said PLDT
Retail Business Group Head Danilo C. Ibarra.</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;For our customers, TelPad will
enhance their broadband experience through the convenience of using a handy
device to access a growing portfolio of exciting applications. For PLDT, this
new service will enhance our DSL revenues,&#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 PLDT TelPad service starts at
Plan 1849 (P1,849) 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>

<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">Today, there are close to 3.5
million wired and wireless broadband connections, with PLDT and subsidiary
Smart having a 61-percent market share. The telecommunications industry leader
is looking to further increase that share after the product is released in
January 2011.</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;There are potentially around 10
million households who can afford this new service. We hope many of them will
get PLDT TelPad when they realize how it can potentially transform their
lifestyle,&#148; Alberto said.</p>

<p style='text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph' style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">&#147;The tablet is the attention-getter,
but that's just the start. The tablet is the handy device through which our

<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 content services that come

<p style='text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph' style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">Moreover, the PLDT TelPad unit has
an HDMI port that can be used to connect to a television set, said PLDT vice
president Patrick Tang.</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;You can watch video clips and
movies on the TelPad unit itself or you can enjoy the show by hooking up the
unit to the TV. It&#146;s so easy and it&#146;s already HD quality,&#148; said Tang.</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">Other services include a Karaoke
game where other PLDT TelPad subscribers can compete and challenge each other
for the highest scores. This game, to be initially offered for free, will be
made available at very affordable daily rates. There are also a lot of other
games to be made available. The TelPad tablet can also be used to listen to
music, read e-mail and display photo slideshows.</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">Another potentially appealing
service is the ePub, a widget that allows PLDT TelPad subscribers to access
major dailies such as Philippine Daily Inquirer and Philippine Star in virtual
look and feel. ePub will also offer a library of the most popular magazines in
digitized form such as MEG, METRO, and FHM, among others. Users can experience
the enjoyment of virtually flipping pages of newspapers and magazines using the
PLDT TelPad unit.</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 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
games.</p>
