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.

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, 2010. 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.

provision that limits foreign ownership of public utilities to 40&nbsp;percent.
</FONT>

<P align="left" style="margin-left:4%; margin-right:4%; font-size: 10pt">The order was made during Tuesday&#146;s regular full-court session of the Court,
wherein it partly granted the petition filed by Wilson Gamboa, a human-rights
lawyer, seeking to annul the sale of the government-acquired 111,415 Philippine
Telecommunications Investment Corp. (PTIC)&nbsp;in PLDT shares to Hong Kong-based First
Pacific Co. Ltd. worth P25.2&nbsp;billion.


<P align="left" style="margin-left:4%; margin-right:4%; font-size: 10pt">In their vote, the majority of the justices held that the term &#147;capital&#148; in
Section&nbsp;11, Article&nbsp;XII of the 1987 Constitution refers only to shares of stock
entitled to vote in the election of directors and, &#147;thus in the present case, only
to common shares, and not to the total outstanding, capital stock&#148; composed of
&#147;common&#148; or voting shares and &#147;preferred&#148; or nonvoting shares.


<P align="left" style="margin-left:4%; margin-right:4%; font-size: 10pt">....


<P align="left" style="margin-left:4%; margin-right:4%; font-size: 10pt">In his petition, Gamboa said the sale violated the constitutional limitation on
foreign ownership of a public utility; he also said the respondents committed
grave abuse of discretion by allowing the sale of PTIC shares to First Pacific.


<P align="left" style="margin-left:4%; margin-right:4%; font-size: 10pt">Gamboa said that as a consequence, First Pacific and NTT DoCoMo, a minority
stockholder, would own 51.56&nbsp;percent of PLDT&#146;s equity, which is over and above the
maximum allowable 40&nbsp;percent under the Constitution.


<P align="left" style="margin-left:4%; margin-right:4%; font-size: 10pt">Gamboa said foreign entities have been breaching the constitutional limitation on
foreign ownership of PLDT as early as 2003 and that the foreign ownership of
common equity for 2003-2005 hovered at 60&nbsp;percent.


<P align="left" style="margin-left:4%; margin-right:4%; font-size: 10pt">The petitioner said foreigners could only own up to 40&nbsp;percent of the voting
stocks, which are common shares as defined by the Corporation Code of the
Philippines. However, foreign entities can own in excess of the 40-percent cap on
common shares, provided such excess would cover nonvoting stocks or preferred
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;shares.


<P align="left" style="margin-left:4%; margin-right:4%; font-size: 10pt">Gamboa said the position of PLDT&#151;that the determination of foreign ownership in a
public utility should be based on the combined preferred and common stockholdings
of a given public utility&#151;was a misinterpretation of Section&nbsp;11, Article&nbsp;XII.&#148;


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><FONT style="font-size: 12pt">We advise that PLDT is not a respondent in the petition filed by Wilson Gamboa and has not
received a copy of the Supreme Court decision referred to in the news report.
</FONT>

<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">We reserve our comment until such time that the reported Supreme Court decision has been officially
issued and we have had an opportunity to review the same.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">We affirm that PLDT&#146;s foreign ownership is well below the limit of forty percent of its &#147;capital&#148;
as this term has been interpreted in numerous opinions issued by the Securities and Exchange
Commission.
