Exhibit 1

Item 1. Subject Company and Class of Security Subject of the Tender Offer

(a) The subject company is Digital Telecommunications Phils., Inc. (the “Company”, “Digitel” or the “Issuer”) with principal office at 110 E. Rodriguez, Jr. Avenue, Bagumbayan, Quezon City 1110.

(b) As of October 31, 2011, the total issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company was 6,356,976,300 common shares.

In connection with the Transaction (as this term is defined in Item 3(a) below), Philippine Long Distance Telephone Company (“PLDT” or the “Bidder”) purchased on October 26, 2011 all the rights, title and interest of the Sellers (as this term is defined in Item 3(a) below) in and to, among others, a total of 3,277,135,882 shares of common stock of Digitel, representing approximately 51.55% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Digitel (the “Digitel Sale Shares”). Subject to the Terms of the Tender Offer attached and made an integral part hereof as Annex A to Exhibit D (the “Terms of the Offer”), the Bidder shall conduct a mandatory tender offer (the “Tender Offer”) in accordance with the Philippine Securities Regulation Code (“SRC”) and applicable rules and regulations to acquire the remaining 3,079,840,418 Digitel common shares representing approximately 48.45% of the issued and outstanding common stock of Digitel held by the public (the Digitel shares held by shareholders other than PLDT, the “Digitel Public Shares” and the holders thereof, the “Digitel Public Shareholders”).

At the same time, certain third parties holding convertible bonds issued by Digitel may opt to convert their holdings into Digitel shares on or before December 8, 2011. It is currently estimated that these convertible bonds held by third parties may be converted into up to 2,230,972 Digitel shares, if fully converted on or before December 8, 2011. Once the bonds are converted into Digitel shares, such Digitel shares will form part of the Digitel Public Shares, bringing the total number of Digitel Public Shares to 3,082,071,390, and may be tendered in the Tender Offer.

Subject to the Terms of the Offer, the Bidder shall purchase the Digitel Public Shares which shall have been tendered (the “Tender Offer Shares”) by the tendering Digitel shareholders (the “Tendering Shareholders”), at the price of P1.6033 per share (the “Tender Offer Price”), payable by the issue of new PLDT common shares valued at P2,500 per PLDT common share or one PLDT common share for every 1,559.28 Digitel Public Shares (the “Exchange Ratio”). After deducting the customary selling charges, which shall be for the Tendering Shareholder’s account, the net Exchange Ratio shall be one PLDT common share for every 1,567.45 Digitel Public Shares.* Alternatively, the Bidder shall, at the Tendering Shareholder’s option, pay such shareholder in cash, at P1.6033 per Digitel Public Share (before deductions for customary selling charges or P1.59495 after deducting the customary selling
Exhibit 1

charges)*; provided that, for Tendering Shareholders who reside outside the Philippines, the Tender Offer Price shall be payable only in cash. The customary selling charges that will be deducted by PLDT do not include the selling broker’s commission payable by the Tendering Shareholder to its/his/her broker, and the taxes thereon. In case the application of the net Exchange Ratio results in a fractional PLDT share, the Tendering Shareholder who would otherwise be entitled to such fractional share shall be entitled to an amount in cash, without interest, rounded to the nearest centavo equal to the product of (i) the amount of fractional share interest in a PLDT common share to which such holder is entitled and (ii) P2,500.

Tendering Shareholders may choose to receive the payment for their shares only in (i) PLDT shares, subject to the conditions of the preceding paragraph, or (ii) cash. No combination of PLDT shares and cash will be paid except only when there is a resulting fractional share.

The maximum aggregate purchase price of the Tender Offer Shares that may be payable by the Bidder under the Tender Offer is approximately Four Billion Nine Hundred Forty One Million Four Hundred Eighty Five Thousand Sixty Pesos (P4,941,485,060). The total number of new PLDT common shares to be issued in the Tender Offer is 1,966,296 based on the net Exchange Ratio.

PLDT will be issuing to the Tendering Shareholders common shares registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and listed on the Philippine Stock Exchange (“PSE”), which have been previously reserved for issuance on conversion of the various series of shares of 10% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock issued pursuant to the PLDT Subscriber Investment Plan (the “SIP Shares”) at the option of the holders of such SIP Shares.  The SIP Shares may be converted to common shares up to January 9, 2012 only, and will be redeemed effective on January 19, 2012; thus the common shares will be reallocated for issuance in connection with the Tender Offer.

The SEC has also issued a confirmation on July 29, 2011 that the issuance of PLDT common shares to the Tendering Shareholders is an exempt transaction, thus, the registration of such PLDT common shares shall not be required for the Tender Offer.

The Corporate Secretary of the Bidder has certified that the Bidder has sufficient unissued shares to satisfy full acceptance of the Digitel Public Shares in case all the Tendering Shareholders opt and are qualified to be paid in PLDT shares. A copy of the certification is attached and incorporated herein as Exhibit F. Philippine National Bank has confirmed that resources available to the Bidder are sufficient to satisfy full acceptance of the Digitel Public Shares in case all the Tendering Shareholders opt to be paid in cash. A copy of the confirmation is attached and incorporated herein as Exhibit F-1.

(c) The shares of the Company are listed and traded on the PSE. The high and low sales prices for the Company’s shares traded on the PSE for each quarter of 2009 and 2010 and the first, second and third quarters of 2011 are as follows:

Item 2.   Identity and Background

The identity and background of the Bidder are set forth in Exhibit A which is attached and incorporated herein as an integral part of this report.

Item 3. Purpose of the Tender Offer and Plans or Proposals of the Bidder

(a)   Purpose of the Tender Offer

(i) The Transaction

The Tender Offer is being undertaken in connection with the Bidder’s acquisition of the Digitel Sale Shares (as defined below) pursuant to the transaction described below and in accordance with Section 19 of the SRC and Rule 19.1 of the SRC implementing rules (“SRC Rules”). Further, Digitel would have to apply for voluntary delisting with the PSE if, as a consequence of the Tender Offer, the public ownership of Digitel falls below the minimum prescribed by the PSE. The Tender Offer is also intended to serve as compliance with the PSE’s rule requiring the conduct of a tender offer to all the stockholders of the company intended to be delisted.

On March 29, 2011, the Bidder and the Sellers (as this term is defined below) (collectively, the “Parties”) entered into a Sale and Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) under which the Bidder has agreed to purchase all the rights, title and interest in and to the following assets (the “Transaction”):

a.   a total of 3,277,135,882 shares of common stock of Digitel, representing approximately 51.55% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Digitel (the “Digitel Sale Shares”) registered in the names of, and/or beneficially owned by, JG Summit Holdings, Inc. (“JGS”), Express Holdings, Inc. (“Express Holdings”), Solid Finance (Holdings), Limited (“Solid Finance”) and Mrs. Elizabeth Yu Gokongwei (“Mrs. Gokongwei” and collectively with JGS, Express Holdings and Solid Finance, the “Sellers”);

b.   zero coupon bonds due 2013 and 2014 issued by Digitel and its subsidiary, with an aggregate redemption value of P17,745,459,286 as of December 31, 2010 (the “Convertible Bonds”), which bonds are, at the option of the Convertible Bond holders, convertible or exchangeable into common shares in the capital stock of Digitel at the par value of P1.00 per share. Although the exact number of Digitel common shares that the Convertible Bonds are convertible or exchangeable into depends on the timing of conversion and the exchange rate at the time of conversion, for purposes of setting the purchase price for the Transaction, JGS and PLDT have assumed that the Convertible Bonds are convertible into 18,603,265,971 common shares of Digitel. This assumes a conversion or exchange date of June 30, 2011 and an exchange rate of P43.405 per US dollar; and

c.   advances made by JGS to Digitel, with a total principal amount plus accrued interest of P34,118,544,087 as of December 31, 2010 (the “Advances”) (the Sale Shares, Convertible Bonds and Advances are collectively referred to as the “Enterprise Assets”).

The rights, title and interest of the Sellers in the Digitel Sale Shares, Convertible Bonds or Advances, as the case may be, include, (i) any stock dividends issued, declared or accrued on the Digitel Sale Shares from December 31, 2010, (ii) any property or cash dividend, interest or other sum payable, paid or accruing on the Enterprise Assets (including any shares that may be issued upon exercise of the conversion or exchangeable feature of the Convertible Bonds) from December 31, 2010; (iii) all rights accruing on the Enterprise Assets from December 31, 2010 (including any right to subscribe for Digitel

Page 5 of 59

Exhibit 1

shares pertaining to the Convertible Bonds and Advances from December 31, 2010); and (iv) the proceeds of any of the foregoing.

The total consideration for the Enterprise Assets is P69,198,024,410 (equivalent to US$1,594,240,857), allocated as follows: P5,254,027,072 (equivalent to US$121,046,586) for the Digitel Sale Shares, P29,825,453,251 (equivalent to US$687,143,261) for the Convertible Bonds, and P34,118,544,087 (equivalent to US$786,051,010) for the Advances.

PLDT agreed to issue 27,679,210 new common shares (“PLDT Consideration Shares”) at the issue price of P2,500 per share, as payment for the Enterprise Assets (the “Issuance of Shares”).

The principal terms and conditions of the Agreement include the following:

1.   Closing of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement (the “Transaction Closing”) shall take place on June 30, 2011 or such later date as may otherwise be agreed upon by the Parties (the “Closing Date”), subject to certain conditions precedent including the following conditions (the “Closing Conditions”):

  a.   the procurement of all consents, approvals or waivers required or necessary to give effect to the Transaction, such as but not limited to, the: (i) approval by the stockholders of PLDT of the Issuance of Shares in connection with the Transaction (“PLDT Shareholders’ Approval”), (ii) approval by the National Telecommunications Commission of the sale and transfer of the Digitel Sale Shares (“NTC Approval”), (iii) approval by the SEC of the valuation of the Enterprise Assets to be acquired by PLDT in exchange for the PLDT Consideration Shares and confirmation by the SEC that the issuance of the PLDT shares to the Sellers and the other stockholders of Digitel is exempt from the registration requirement of the SRC, and (iv) approval by the PSE of the block sale of the Digitel Sale Shares;0 and

  b.   no statute or regulation which would prohibit, restrict or materially delay the Transaction shall have been enacted by any governmental authority, and no writ of preliminary injunction, restraining order or other judgment, decree, order or resolution of any governmental authority shall have been issued against any of the Parties, restraining or enjoining the Transaction.

2.   PLDT shall conduct the Tender Offer, which shall include the following terms and conditions:

  a.   PLDT shall purchase the Digitel Public Shares at the Tender Offer Price; and

  b.   the Tender Offer shall be completed on the Closing Date unless the Parties shall have obtained the SEC’s approval of an exemption from the requirement that the Tender Offer and the Transaction Closing shall take place simultaneously.1

3.   Upon the Transaction Closing, and for as long as the Sellers own shares representing at least 5% of the issued and outstanding common stock of PLDT, JGS shall be entitled to nominate one representative on the PLDT Board of Directors, and JGS’s involvement in designated PLDT board

Page 6 of 59

Exhibit 1

committees will be favorably considered (in each case, provided that such Board and Board committee nominees shall possess all of the required qualifications and none of the disqualifications under PLDT’s By-Laws and applicable laws, rules and regulations).

4.   From the Closing Date up to the first anniversary thereof, none of the Sellers shall, without the prior written consent of PLDT, transfer or create or permit to exist any Encumbrance (as this term is defined in the Agreement) on the PLDT Consideration Shares issued to them in connection with the Transaction, including all stock dividends paid or accruing on such             shares.

5.   To allow PLDT to maintain a substantial public float, the total number of PLDT common shares that JGS and its subsidiaries may hold legal and/or beneficial title to shall not exceed 12% of the total issued and outstanding common stock of PLDT at any given time, for as long as the two groups of strategic investors in PLDT and their associated companies continue to hold legal and/or beneficial rights to shares representing at least 40% of the issued and outstanding common stock of PLDT.

In anticipation of the Tender Offer, the Board of Directors of Digitel engaged an independent financial advisor, Citicorp Capital Philippines Inc., to advise it on the impact of the Tender Offer and render an opinion as to the fairness of the Tender Offer from the perspective of the minority stockholders of Digitel. A copy of the report of the independent financial advisor is attached hereto as Exhibit G.

(ii) Closing

Following the issuance of the NTC Approval, Closing took place on October 26, 2011.

(b)   Plans or Proposals of the Bidder

1.   Conversion of Convertible Bonds into Digitel Common Shares and Increase in Capital

Following the acquisition of the Digitel Sale Shares from the Sellers, the Bidder now owns 51.55% of Digitel’s issued and outstanding capital stock.

On October 26, 2011, PLDT delivered to Digitel irrevocable notices to convert/exchange the Convertible Bonds into common shares of Digitel upon their maturity. Assuming the Convertible Bonds are converted to/exchanged for Digitel shares on June 30, 2011 and using an exchange rate of P43.405/US dollar, which are the same assumptions used by PLDT and JGS in setting the purchase price for the Convertible Bonds, PLDT will own an aggregate 87.7% of Digitel’s enlarged capital stock, which means that the ownership of Digitel Public Shareholders will be reduced from 48.45% currently to an estimated 12.3%. On November 25, 2011, PLDT informed Digitel that it will convert P4 billion worth of such bonds into 4 billion common shares of Digitel by December 8, 2011, which will result in PLDT owning approximately 70.2% of Digitel’s enlarged capital stock before considering any Digitel Public Shares tendered during the Tender Offer. For this purpose, Digitel will apply with the SEC for an increase in its authorized capital stock from P9 billion to P25 billion before December 31, 2011.

The data below shows that companies with lower public ownership levels tend to have lower trading activity.

2.   Delisting/Non-Reporting Status

Depending on the acceptance rate of the Tender Offer, the ownership of Digitel Public Shareholders may fall below the minimum public float level of 10% required by the PSE. If a company fails to comply with the minimum public ownership requirement of the PSE, involuntary delisting procedures may be initiated. Further, Digitel would have to apply for voluntary delisting with the PSE if, as a consequence of the Tender Offer, the public ownership of Digitel falls below the minimum prescribed by the PSE. If Digitel is delisted, its shares will no longer be traded on the PSE and this could affect investors’ ability to liquidate their investments. Also, any capital gains generated from their subsequent sale or transfer will be subject to the prevailing capital gains taxes. Subsequent sale or transfer will also be subject to documentary stamp tax.

If as a result of the Tender Offer, Digitel shall cease to be a reporting company as defined in the SRC and SRC Rules, PLDT intends to cause Digitel to take such steps necessary to terminate its reporting obligations under the SRC.

3.   Repayment of Debt and Advances

Based on Digitel’s consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2010, third-party debt amounted to P15.3 billion. Digitel also has accrued project costs amounting to P10.7 billion.

In addition, the major shareholders of Digitel have historically supported Digitel’s funding requirements with the Advances which totaled P34.1 billion as of December 31, 2010.

As a priority, Digitel’s free cash flow will be utilized for debt service and repayment of the Advances.

4.   Maintenance of PLDT’s Dividend Payment Policy

Historically, Digitel has not paid cash dividends to its shareholders. As the priority will continue to be repayment of debt and the Advances, it is unlikely that Digitel will be able to pay cash dividends to its shareholders in the next few years.

Page 8 of 59

Exhibit 1

On the other hand, under PLDT’s current dividend policy, it is committed to a 70% dividend payout ratio and a “look-back” approach which facilitates additional shareholder returns in the event that there is excess cash in the business. PLDT has maintained a 100% dividend payout ratio since 2007. In March 2011, PLDT was ranked by Alpha Southeast Asia as the second largest dividend payer in Southeast Asia in terms of total dividends paid.

5.   Board of Directors and Officers of Digitel and Digitel Mobile Philippines, Inc.

After the purchase of the Digitel Sale Shares on October 26, 2011, the respective boards of directors of Digitel and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Digitel Mobile Philippines, Inc. (“Sun”) conducted special meetings for the purpose of appointing directors nominated by the Bidder in lieu of the directors nominated by or for the Sellers and elected a new Chairman of the Board and President for Digitel and a new President for Sun.

The new directors of Digitel are Messrs. Manuel V. Pangilinan, Napoleon L. Nazareno, Orlando B. Vea, Ray C. Espinosa, and Ms. Anabelle L. Chua. Rev. Fr. Bienvenido F. Nebres, and Mr. Alfred V. Ty were elected as independent directors of Digitel. Mr. Pangilinan was elected Chairman of the Board, and Mr. Vea as President and CEO, of Digitel.

The new directors of Sun are Messrs. Pangilinan, Nazareno, Vea and Espinosa and Ms. Chua. Mr. Pangilinan was elected Chairman of the Board, and Mr. Vea as President and CEO, of Sun.

Except as indicated in this report in respect of items (d), (f) and (g) below, the Bidder does not have any present plans or proposals which relate to or would result in:

(a)   an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries;

(b)   a sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries;

(c)   a change in the present board of directors or management of the Issuer, including any plan or proposal to change the number or term of directors, to fill any existing vacancy on the board of directors or a change to any material term of the employment contract of any executive officer of the Issuer;

(d)   any material change in the present dividend rate or policy or indebtedness or capitalization of the Issuer;

Page 9 of 59

Exhibit 1

(e)   any other material change in the Issuer’s corporate structure or business;

(f)   any class of equity securities of the Issuer which is listed in the PSE to be no longer listed; or

(g) the Issuer no longer being subject to the reporting requirements of SRC Rule 17.

Item 4. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

(a) The Digitel Public Shares represent approximately 48.45% of the total issued and outstanding common shares of the Company.

The Bidder’s directors or executive officers do not, directly or indirectly, own shares of the Company except for the following:

(i) Messrs. Pangilinan, Nazareno and Espinosa and Ms. Chua, who are directors of Digitel, and Rev. Fr. Nebres and Mr. Ty, who are independent directors of Digitel, purchased ten (10) Digitel common shares each as of October 26, 2011 at the price of P1.00 per share; and

(ii) Mr. James L. Go, a director of the Bidder as of November 3, 2011 and former Chairman of the Board of Digitel, who holds 30,000 Digitel common shares.

(b) Except as stated in this report, the Bidder is not aware of any material transaction regarding the common shares of the Issuer, including the Digitel Public Shares, effected during the past sixty (60) days by any of its directors or executive officers.

Item 5.   Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer

Except as described in this report, to the best knowledge of the Bidder, there is no other contract, arrangement, understanding or relationship among the persons named in Exhibit A and between such persons and any person with respect to any securities of the Company, including but not limited to transfer or voting of any of the securities, finder’s fees, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees of profits, division of profits or loss, or the giving or withholding of proxies.

The warranties under the Agreement are more extensive than the warranties to be given by the Tendering Shareholders (as set forth in the Application to Tender Shares in Digital Telecommunications Phils., Inc. to Philippine Long Distance Telephone Company, Exhibit D hereof) in order to reflect the involvement of JGS in the operation and management of the Company.

Exhibit 1

Schedule 1

Litigation Involving PLDT

On June 29, 2011, the Supreme Court of the Philippines promulgated a decision (“Decision”) in the case of Wilson P. Gamboa vs. Finance Secretary Margarito B. Teves, et al. (G.R. No. 176579) (the “Gamboa Case”), where the Court held that “the term ‘capital’ in Section II, Article XI of the 1987 Constitution refers only to shares of stock entitled to vote in the election of directors ’and thus only to voting common shares,” and not to the total outstanding capital stock (common and non-voting preferred shares)”. The Decision of the Supreme Court reversed earlier opinions issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) that non-voting preferred shares are included in the computation of the 60-40% Filipino-alien equity requirement of certain economic activities, such as telecommunications which is a public utility under Section II, Article XII of the 1987 Constitution.

While PLDT is not a party to the Gamboa Case, the Supreme Court directed the SEC in the Gamboa Case “to apply this definition of the term ‘capital’ in determining the extent of allowable foreign ownership in Philippine Long Distance Telephone Company (“PLDT”), and if there is a violation of Section II, Article XII of the Constitution, to impose the appropriate sanctions under the law.”

As of the date hereof, the Decision in the Gamboa Case is under reconsideration and has not become final and executory. To the best of PLDT’s knowledge, the SEC has not commenced any proceeding to determine if PLDT is in violation of Section II, Article XII of the 1987 Constitution. A finding by the SEC that there is a violation of Section II, Article XII of the 1987 Constitution by PLDT may subject the latter to sanctions under Philippine law, including possible revocation of its franchise.

On July 5, 2011, the Board of Directors of PLDT (the “Board”) approved the creation of a new class of redeemable preferred shares with full voting rights (the “Voting Preferred Shares”) and further amendments of the Amended Articles of Incorporation of PLDT that will authorize the Board to issue the Voting Preferred Shares as and when the Board determines such issuance to be necessary. The amendment to the Amended Articles of Incorporation of PLDT will require the approval by the stockholders of PLDT and the approval of the SEC. Upon approval of the amendment of the Amended Articles of Incorporation of PLDT by the SEC, up to 150,000,000 Voting Preferred Shares could be initially issued by the Board and that upon issuance of such Voting Preferred Shares to Filipinos and Filipino-owned entities, the total foreign equity in the total resulting voting shares of PLDT will be reduced from the current 64% to about 36%. A special Meeting of Stockholders (“Special Meeting”) of PLDT was scheduled on September 20, 2011, at which meeting the amendment was supposed to be submitted to PLDT’s stockholders for approval. The Special Meeting was not held, however, due to lack of quorum, and will be reset to a later date to be determined by the Board.

Exhibit 1

Schedule 2

Litigation involving Directors and Key Officers of PLDT

The following is a description of the complaints in which the directors and key officers of the Bidder are respondents:

1.   Mr. Napoleon L. Nazareno and other directors and officers of the former PDCP Bank (“PDCP”) and some officers of the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas and Development Bank of the Philippines (hereinafter the “Respondents”), were charged in a complaint docketed as I.S. No. 2004-631 filed by Chung Hing Wong/Unisteel/Unisco Metals, Inc. (the “Complainants”) with the Department of Justice (“DOJ”), for alleged syndicated estafa, estafa thru falsification of documents, other deceits, malversation and robbery. In the complaint-affidavit, the Complainants alleged that the officers and directors of PDCP deceived the Complainants to secure a loan from PDCP through misrepresentation and with the sinister purpose of taking over the Complainants’ corporation. As stated in Mr. Nazareno’s counter-affidavit, the charges against him are manifestly unmeritorious since he has not personally met the Complainants, nor is he a party to the questioned transactions and, as such, could not have deceived the Complainants in any manner. The complaint was referred to the Office of the Ombudsman (“OMB”) by the DOJ on October 30, 2007 considering that some of the Respondents are public officers and the offenses charged were committed in the performance of their official functions.

      Meanwhile, on July 23, 2008, the Complainants filed with the DOJ a Motion for Reconsideration of a Resolution of the DOJ dated September 7, 2007 dismissing their complaint. It appears that prior to forwarding the case records to the OMB, the DOJ has prepared a Resolution recommending the dismissal of all the charges against the Respondents but did not release the said Resolution to the parties because it wanted the OMB to conduct a review of the DOJ Resolution in view of the fact that some of the Respondents are public officers.

      In an Order dated July 30, 2008, the OMB confirmed that it was conducting a review of the said DOJ Resolution for the abovestated reason and that its authority relative to the case forwarded to it by the DOJ is limited to conducting a review of the DOJ Resolution and not to conduct another preliminary investigation of the case.

      In the OMB’s Review and Recommendation dated November 28, 2008, the OMB approved the DOJ Resolution dated September 7, 2007 dismissing the complaint and referred the case to the DOJ for appropriate action.

      The Complainants filed separate Motions for Reconsideration before the DOJ and OMB on July 16, 2008 and December 1, 2009, respectively. On December 16, 2009, the DOJ issued a Resolution denying the Complainants’ Motion for Reconsideration for lack of merit. In response, the Complainants filed a Petition for Review with the Secretary of Justice on March 2, 2010. Mr. Nazareno and the other Respondents have filed their respective Comments to the petition, which remain pending to date with the Office of the Secretary of Justice.

Page 17 of 59

Exhibit 1

      With respect to the Complainants’ Motion for Reconsideration with the OMB, the latter issued an Order dated December 4, 2009 denying the same and affirming its Review and Recommendation of November 28, 2008. In response, the Complainants filed a Petition for Certiorari with the Court of Appeals (“CA”) on July 12, 2010. In a Resolution dated July 26, 2010, the CA dismissed the petition for lack of jurisdiction. The Complainants filed a Motion for Reconsideration on August 17, 2010. Acting on the said motion, the CA issued a Resolution dated September 1, 2010, requiring the Respondents to file their Comment to the motion. On September 28, 2010, the Respondents through counsel filed their Opposition to the Complainants’ Motion for Reconsideration. In a Resolution dated December 1, 2010, the CA noted the respective Comments and/or Opposition filed by the Respondents and considered the Complainants’ Motion for Reconsideration submitted for resolution.

2.   Ms. Ma. Lourdes C. Rausa-Chan and other former corporate secretaries/assistant corporate secretaries of Steniel Cavite Packaging Corporation, Metro Paper and Packaging Products, Inc., AR Packaging Corporation and Starpack Philippines Corporation, are respondents in a complaint docketed as OMB C-C-04-0363-H (CPL No. C-04-1248), filed with the OMB. The complaint is for alleged: (a) violation of Republic Act No. 3019 (otherwise known as the “Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practices Act”); (b) estafa through falsification of public documents; (c) falsification of public documents under Article 171, in relation to Article 172, of the Revised Penal Code (“RPC”); (d) infidelity in the custody of public documents under Article 226 of the RPC; and (e) grave misconduct. It relates to various tax credit certificates (allegedly fraudulent, with spurious and fake supporting documents) issued to Victory Textile Mills, Inc. (allegedly, a non-existent corporation with fictitious incorporators and directors) and transferred to several companies including the aforesaid companies. The complaints against Ms. Rausa-Chan involve the first two offenses only and in her capacity as corporate secretary of Metro Paper and Packaging Products, Inc. In the opinion of the legal counsel of Ms. Rausa-Chan, there are no legal and factual bases for her inclusion as respondent in this complaint. Ms. Rausa-Chan had no participation or involvement in the alleged anomalous acquisition and transfer of the subject tax credit certificates. The case is still pending with the OMB.

Exhibit 1

NOTICE TO SHAREHOLDERS OF DIGITAL TELECOMMUNICATIONS PHILS., INC.

 
Philippine Long Distance Telephone Company (“PLDT” or the “Bidder”) has acquired 3,277,135,882
shares of common stock of Digital Telecommunications Phils., Inc. (“Digitel”), representing
approximately 51.55% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Digitel (the “Digitel Sale Shares”)
registered in the names of, and/or beneficially owned by, JG Summit Holdings, Inc. (“JGS”), Express
Holdings, Inc. (“Express Holdings”), Solid Finance (Holdings), Limited (“Solid Finance”) and Mrs.
Elizabeth Yu Gokongwei (“Mrs. Gokongwei” and collectively with JGS, Express Holdings and Solid Finance,
the “Sellers”).
 
In relation to the conditions for the acquisition of the Digitel Sale Shares and pursuant to the
requirements of the Philippine Securities Regulation Code (“SRC”) and its implementing rules and
regulations, the Bidder is implementing a tender offer to acquire the remaining 3,079,840,418 common
shares representing approximately 48.45% of the issued and outstanding capital of the Company (the
Digitel shares held by shareholders other than PLDT, the “Digitel Public Shares”) from the owners
thereof (the Digitel shareholders other than PLDT, the “Digitel Public Shareholders”), subject to the
SEC Form 19-1 filed by the Bidder with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”)
(“Tender
Offer
”).
 
At the same time, certain third parties holding convertible bonds issued by Digitel may opt to convert
their holdings into Digitel shares on or before December 8, 2011. It is currently estimated that these
convertible bonds held by third parties may be converted into up to 2,230,972 Digitel shares, if fully
converted on or before December 8, 2011. Once the bonds are converted into Digitel shares, such Digitel
shares will form part of the Digitel Public Shares, bringing the total number of Digitel Public Shares
to 3,082,071,390, and may be tendered in the Tender Offer.
Further, Digitel will have to apply for voluntary delisting with the Philippine Stock Exchange, Inc.
(“PSE”) if, as a consequence of the Tender Offer, the public ownership of Digitel falls below the
minimum prescribed by the PSE. The Tender Offer is also intended to serve as compliance with the PSE’s
rule requiring the conduct of a tender offer to all the stockholders of the Company intended to be
delisted (in this case, Digitel).
The Bidder shall purchase the Digitel Public Shares which shall have been tendered (the “Tender Offer
Shares
”) by the Digitel Public Shareholders (the “Tendering Shareholders”), at the price of P1.6033 per
share (the “Tender Offer Price”), payable by the issue of new PLDT common shares valued at P2,500 per
PLDT common share or one PLDT common share for every 1,559.28 Digitel Public Shares (the “Exchange
Ratio
”). After deducting the customary selling charges, which shall be for the Tendering Shareholder’s
account, the net Exchange Ratio shall be one PLDT common share for every 1,567.45 Digitel Public
Shares.* Alternatively, the Bidder shall, at the Tendering
Exhibit 1
Shareholder’s option, pay such shareholder in cash, at P1.6033 per Digitel Public Share (before
deductions for customary selling charges or P1.59495 after deducting the customary selling
charges);* provided that, for Tendering Shareholders who reside outside the Philippines, the
Tender Offer Price shall be payable only in cash. The customary selling charges that will be deducted by
PLDT do not include the selling broker’s commission payable by the Tendering Shareholder to its/his/her
broker, and the taxes thereon.
Tendering Shareholders may choose to receive the payment for their shares only in (i) PLDT shares,
subject to the conditions of the preceding paragraph, or (ii) cash. No combination of PLDT shares and
cash will be paid except only when there is a resulting fractional share.
In case the application of the net Exchange Ratio results in a fractional PLDT share, the Tendering
Shareholder who would otherwise be entitled to such fractional share shall be entitled to an amount in
cash, without interest, rounded to the nearest centavo equal to the product of (i) the amount of
fractional share interest in a PLDT common share to which such shareholder is entitled and (ii) P2,500.
Every Digitel Public Shareholder as of any date during the Offer Period is entitled to sell its/his/her
Digitel Public Shares to PLDT in accordance with and subject to the Terms of the Tender Offer, which is
Annex A to the Application to Tender Common Shares in Digital Telecommunications Phils., Inc. to
Philippine Long Distance Telephone Company) (the “Application”).
The Tender Offer will commence at 9:00 a.m. on December 7, 2011 and end at 12:00 noon on January 9,
2012. The Bidder reserves the right to extend the Tender Offer with the approval of the SEC.

on the Application and on the supporting identification documents or board resolution when it verifies
the endorsement of the relevant Digitel stock certificates. The TO Agent shall not be required to make
further inquiries into the authenticity of the signature. If the TO Agent is unable to verify the

Exhibit 1

TERMS OF THE TENDER OFFER

     
The Bidder:  
Philippine Long Distance Telephone Company (“PLDT” or the “Bidder”)
Tender Offer Shares:  
On October 26, 2011, the Bidder acquired 3,277,135,882 shares of common stock of
Digital Telecommunications Phils., Inc. (“Digitel”), representing approximately
51.55% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Digitel (the “Digitel Sale
Shares
”) registered in the names of, and/or beneficially owned by, JG Summit
Holdings, Inc. (“JGS”), Express Holdings, Inc. (“Express Holdings”), Solid Finance
(Holdings), Limited (“Solid Finance”) and Mrs. Elizabeth Yu Gokongwei (“Mrs.
Gokongwei
” and collectively with JGS, Express Holdings and Solid Finance, the
Sellers”).
   
 
   
In relation to the conditions for the acquisition of the Digitel Sale Shares, and
pursuant to the requirements of the Philippine Securities Regulation Code (“SRC”)
and its implementing rules, the Bidder is implementing a tender offer to acquire the
remaining 3,079,840,418 common shares representing approximately 48.45% of the
issued and outstanding capital of the Company (the Digitel shares held by
shareholders other than PLDT, the “Digitel Public Shares”) from the owners thereof
(the Digitel shareholders other than PLDT, the “Digitel Public Shareholders”),
subject to the SEC Form 19-1 filed by the Bidder with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (“SEC”)
(“Tender Offer”).
   
 
   
At the same time, certain third parties holding convertible bonds issued by Digitel
may opt to convert their holdings into Digitel shares on or before December 8, 2011.
It is currently estimated that these convertible bonds held by third parties may be
converted into up to 2,230,972 Digitel shares, if fully converted on or before
December 8, 2011. Once the bonds are converted into Digitel shares, such Digitel
shares will form part of the Digitel Public Shares, bringing the total number of
Digitel Public Shares to 3,082,071,390, and may be tendered in the Tender Offer.
Further, Digitel will have to apply for voluntary delisting with the Philippine
Stock Exchange, Inc. (“PSE”) if, as a consequence of the Tender Offer, the public
ownership of Digitel falls below the minimum prescribed by the PSE. The Tender Offer
is also intended to serve as compliance with the PSE’s rule requiring the conduct of
a tender offer to all the stockholders of the company intended to be delisted (in
this case, Digitel).
Tender Offer Price:  
The Bidder shall purchase the Digitel Public Shares which shall have been tendered
(the “Tender Offer Shares”) by the Digitel Public Shareholders (the “Tendering
Shareholders
”), at the price of P1.6033 per share (the “Tender Offer Price”),
payable by the issue of new PLDT common shares valued at P2,500 per PLDT common
share or one PLDT common share for every 1,559.28 Digitel Public Shares (the
Exchange Ratio”). After deducting the
Page 31 0f 59
Exhibit 1
customary selling charges, which shall be for the Tendering Shareholder’s
account, the net Exchange Ratio shall be one PLDT common share for every 1,567.45
Digitel Public Shares.*
Alternatively, the Bidder shall, at the Tendering Shareholder’s option, pay such
shareholder in cash, at P1.6033 per Digitel Public Share (before deductions for
customary selling charges or P1.59495 after deducting the customary selling
charges);* provided that, for Tendering Shareholders who reside outside
the Philippines, the Tender Offer Price shall be payable only in cash. The customary
selling charges that will be deducted by PLDT do not include the selling broker’s
commission payable by the Tendering Shareholder to its/his/her broker, and the taxes
thereon.
In case the application of the net Exchange Ratio results in a fractional PLDT
share, the Tendering Shareholder who would otherwise be entitled to such fractional
share shall be entitled to an amount in cash, without interest, rounded to the
nearest centavo equal to the product of (i) the amount of fractional share interest
in a PLDT common share to which such shareholder is entitled and (ii) P2,500.
Tendering Shareholders may choose to receive the payment for their shares only in
(i) PLDT shares, subject to the conditions of the preceding paragraph, or (ii) cash.
No combination of PLDT shares and cash will be paid except only when there is a
resulting fractional share.
Entitlement:  
Every Digitel Public Shareholder as of any date during the Offer Period is entitled
to sell its/his/her Digitel Public Shares to PLDT in accordance with and subject to
these Terms of the Tender Offer.
Tender Offer Period:  
The Tender Offer will commence at 9:00 a.m. on December 7, 2011 and end at 12:00
noon on January 9, 2012. The Bidder reserves the right to extend the Tender Offer
with the approval of the SEC.

(“Digitel”), I hereby certify that the Bidder has at least 1,966,296 unissued listed common shares as of November 29, 2011, which are sufficient to satisfy full acceptance of the Digitel shares to be tendered at the tender offer price of one Bidder common share for every 1,559.28 Digitel common share tendered.

Assuming all tendering Digitel shareholders (including those who convert their convertible bond holdings into Digitel shares on or before December 8, 2011) opt and are qualified to be paid in PLDT shares, after deducting customary selling charges that are for the account of the tendering shareholders (but not including the selling brokers’ commission and taxes thereon, which are payable by the tendering shareholders but will not be deducted by the Bidder), the Bidder will issue to such shareholders a total of approximately 1,966,296 new PLDT shares.

    Attention: Members of the Board of Directors of Digital Telecommunications Philippines Inc.

    (“Digitel”)

Reference is made to the announcement, dated as of March 29, 2011 (the “Announcement”), relating to the acquisition by Philippine Long Distance Telephone Company (“PLDT”) of JG Summit Holdings, Inc. (“JGS Group”) and certain other parties’ ownership interest in Digitel comprising of (i) 3,277,135,882 common shares in Digitel, representing a 51.55% controlling equity stake; (ii) zero-coupon convertible bonds issued by Digitel and its subsidiaries to the JGS Group which are assumed to be convertible into approximately 18.6 billion shares of Digitel by 30 June 2011; and (iii) intercompany advances of PHP34.1 billion made by the JGS Group and certain of such parties to Digitel and its subsidiaries (the “Assets”). As more fully described in the Announcement, the agreed consideration to be paid by PLDT for the Assets will be, in aggregate PHP69.2 bn, which will be settled by the issuance of one (1) new PLDT share for every PHP2.500 consideration payable for the Assets. In connection with its acquisition of the Assets, and as required under Philippine law, PLDT will announce a mandatory tender offer (the “Tender Offer” or the “Transaction”), for all the remaining Digitel shares held by the public shareholders of Digitel (who hold, in aggregate, approximately 48.45% of the issued common stock of Digitel). Under the Tender Offer, it is anticipated that PLDT will offer to purchase Digitel shares at the price of PHP1.60 per Digitel share, which will be paid in the form of either PLDT shares issued at PHP2,500 per share or cash (the “Offer”), at the option of the Digitel shareholder. You have requested our opinion as to the fairness of the Offer, as of the date of the Announcement.

In arriving at our oipinion, we reviewed the Announcement and certain publicly available business and financial information concerning the business and operations of Digitel. We reviewed the Offer in relation to, among other things: current and historical market prices and trading volumes of Digitel Common Stock; the historical earnings and other operating data of Digitel; and the capitalization and financial condition of Digitel. We analyzed certain financial, stock market and other publicly available information relating to the businesses of other companies whose operations we considered relevant in evaluating those of Digitel and considered, to the extent publicly available, the financial terms of certain other transactions which we considered relevant in evaluating the Offer. We also evaluated certain potential pro forma financial effects on Digitel utilizing, among other things, publicly available financial information relating to Digitel referred to above. In addition to the foregoing, we conducted such other analyses and examinations and considered such other information and financial, economic and market criteria as we deemed appropriate in arriving at our opinion. The issuance of our opinion has been authorized by our fairness opinion committee.

In rendering our opinion, we have assumed and relied, without independent verification, upon the accuracy and completeness of all historical financial and other information and data.

3   Assuming all third parties holding convertible bonds of Digitel opt to convert their holdings into Digitel shares on or before December 8, 2011, the total number of Digitel shares eligible to participate in the tender offer will be 3,082,071,390. The cash required to purchase all of these shares at the price of P1.6033 per Digitel share is P4,941,485,059.59.

publicly available to us. No projected earnings and other opening data of Digitel were used in arriving at our opinion as there was none publicly available or provided to or otherwise reviewed by or discussed with us by the management of Digitel.

We have assumed, with your consent, that the Transaction will be consummated as contemplated in the Announcement without waiver, modification or amendment of any material term, condition or agreement and that, in the course of obtaining the necessary regulatory of third party approvals, consents, releases and waivers for the Transaction, no delay, limitation, restriction or condition will be imposed that would have an adverse effect on Digitel or the contemplated terms or benefits of the Transaction. We are not expressing any opinion as to prices at which Digitel Common Stock will trade at any time. We have not made or been provided with an independent evaluation or appraisal of the assets or liabilities (contingent or otherwise) of Digitel nor have we made any physical inspection of the properties or assets of Digitel. We express no view as to, and our opinion does not address, the underlying business decision of Digitel to effect the Transaction, the relative merits of the Transaction as compared to any alternative business strategies that might exist for Digitel or the effect of any other transaction in which Digitel might engage. Our opinion does not address any terms (other than the Offer to the extent expressly specified herein) or other aspects or implications of the Transaction, including, without limitation, the form or structure of the Transaction or any other agreement, arrangement or understanding to be entered in connection with or contemplated by the Transaction or otherwise. We express no view as to, and our opinion does not address, the fairness (financial or otherwise) of the amount or nature or any other aspect of any compensation to any officers, directors or employees of any parties to the Transaction of any related transaction, or any class of such persons, relative to the Transaction or any related transaction. Our opinion is necessary based upon economic, financial, stock market and other conditions and circumstances existing and publicly available known as of the date of the Announcement. As you are aware, the credit, financial and stock markets experience volatility and we express no opinion or view as to any potential effects of such volatility on digital or the contemplated benefits of the Transaction. It should be understood that the developments subsequent to the Announcement may affect this opinion and that we do not have any obligation to update, revise, or reaffirm this opinion.

Citicorp Capital Philippines Inc. (“Citi”) is acting as financial advisor to Digitel in connection with proposed transaction. In the ordinary course or our business, we and our affiliates may actively trade or hold the securities of Digitel, JGS Group and PLDT for our own account or for the account of our customers and, accordingly, may at any time hold a long or short position in such securities. In addition, we and our affiliates (including Ctigroup Inc. and its affiliates) have had, have or any in future have relationships with Digitel, JGS Group, PLDT and their respective affiliates.

This opinion is provided solely for the benefit of the Board of Directors of Digitel in connection with and for the purposes of its evaluation of the fairness, from a financial point of

view, of the Offer, and is not on behalf of, and shall not confer rights or remedies upon, any shareholder, creditor or any other person other than the Board of Directors of the Company or be
used or relied upon for any other purpose. This opinion may not be disclosed, referred to, or communicated (in whole or in part) to any third party for any purpose whatsoever unless otherwise provided under the Engagement Letter as dated as of March 28, 2011.

The opinion expressed herein is not intended to be and does not constitute a recommendation to any securityholder as to how such securityholder should vote or tender or otherwise act on any matters relating to the proposed Transaction.

Based upon and subject to the foregoing, our experience as investment bankers, our work

as described above and other factors we deemed relevant, we are of the opinion that, as of the date of the Announcement, PHP1.60 cash consideration per Digitel share is fair and reasonable from a financial point of view.

Digitel’s public shareholders have the option to accept PHP1.60 per Digitel share in cash or in the form of PLDT shares issued at PHP2,500 per share and may choose to receive PLDT shares if they, in their own judgment believe that the share consideration is superior than the cash consideration (their evaluation may include tax consequences and merits of holding PLDT shares among other things). Given that the exchange ratio is fixed and PLDT stock price will vary through the closing of the Tender Offer, we have limited our opinion to PH1.60 cash consideration per Digitel share. Based on the PLDT stock price at closing of the Tender Offer, the share consideration may be less or more than the cash consideration and no opinion is expressed herein on the merits or relative value of PLDT shares.

Very truly yours,

CITICORP CAPITAL PHILIPPINES INC.

If you are in doubt about anything contained in this letter (and the enclosures), you should consult your legal adviser or financial adviser.

December 5, 2011

Dear Sir/Madam,

Please be informed that on December 5, 2011, Philippine Long Distance Telephone Company (the “Bidder” or “PLDT”) filed a Tender Offer Report (SEC Form 19-1) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and the Philippine Stock Exchange (the “PSE”) pursuant to Section 19 of the Securities Regulation Code (“SRC”). A copy of the Tender Offer Report is attached hereto.

On October 26, 2011, the Bidder, pursuant to a Sale and Purchase Agreement with JG Summit Holdings, Inc. (“JGS”), Express Holdings, Inc., and certain other individual and corporate stockholders of Digital Telecommunications Phils., Inc. (“Digitel”) (collectively, the “Sellers”), acquired the Sellers’ combined 51.55% equity stake in Digitel. The Bidder is seeking to purchase the remaining 3,079,840,418 shares of common stock in Digitel which are held by the public (the Digitel shareholders other than PLDT, the “Digitel Public Shareholders”), representing 48.45% of the total issued and outstanding capital stock of Digitel (the Digitel shares held by shareholders other than PLDT, the “Digitel Public Shares”) and for this purpose, the Bidder shall implement the tender offer subject of this notice (the “Tender Offer”). The Tender Offer shall commence at 9:00 a.m. on December 7, 2011 and end at 12:00 noon on January 9, 2012 (the “Tender Offer Period”). The Bidder reserves the right to extend the Tender Offer with the approval of the SEC.

At the same time, certain third parties holding convertible bonds issued by Digitel may opt to convert their holdings into Digitel shares on or before December 8, 2011. It is currently estimated that these convertible bonds held by third parties may be converted into up to 2,230,972 Digitel shares, if fully converted on or before December 8, 2011. Once the bonds are converted into Digitel shares, such Digitel shares will form part of the Digitel Public Shares, bringing the total number of Digitel Public Shares to 3,082,071,390, and may be tendered in the Tender Offer.

Digitel would have to apply for voluntary delisting with the PSE if, as a consequence of the Tender Offer, the public ownership of Digitel falls below the minimum prescribed by the PSE. The Tender Offer will also serve as compliance with the PSE’s rule requiring the conduct of a tender offer to all the stockholders of the company intended to be delisted.

The Bidder shall purchase from tendering Digitel Public Shareholders (the “Tendering Shareholders”) their Digitel Public Shares at P1.6033 per share, payable, at the Digitel Public Shareholder’s option, by (i) cash at P1.6033 per share; or (ii) the issue of new PLDT common shares valued at P2,500 per PLDT common share or one PLDT common share for every 1,559.28 Digitel Public Shares. All expenses in relation to the sale of the Tender Offer Shares that are attributable to the Tendering Shareholders shall be for the account of the Tendering Shareholders. Thus, in determining the total price of the Tender Offer Shares of any Tendering Shareholder, the Bidder shall deduct from such total price the customary selling charges payable by the Tendering Shareholder; the net exchange ratio shall be one PLDT common share for every 1,567.45 Digitel Public Shares and the net cash price shall be P1.59495 for every Digitel Public Share.

Page 54 of 59

Exhibit 1

The customary selling charges that will be deducted by PLDT are (i) the stock transaction tax, (ii) the payment to the Stock Investment Protection Fund, and (iii) the fees of the Securities Clearing Corporation of the Philippines, SEC and PSE; such charges do not include the selling broker’s commission (and taxes thereon) payable by the Tendering Shareholder, which is subject to mutual agreement between the Tendering Shareholder and its/his/her broker. In case the application of the net exchange ratio results in a fractional PLDT share, the Tendering Shareholder who would otherwise be entitled to such fractional share shall be entitled to an amount in cash, without interest, and rounded to the nearest centavo, equal to the product of (i) the amount of fractional share interest in a PLDT common share to which such Digitel Public Shareholder is entitled and (ii) P2,500 (e.g., 1/2 PLDT share = P1,250).

For Tendering Shareholders residing outside the Philippines, the Bidder will pay for the Digitel Public Shares owned by such shareholders only in cash.

Every Digitel Public Shareholder of record as of any date during the Tender Offer Period is entitled to tender all or a portion of its/his/her Digitel Public Shares (the “Tender Offer Shares”) for acceptance and purchase by the Bidder during the Tender Offer Period, subject to the Terms of the Tender Offer attached to the enclosed Application to Tender.

Tendering Shareholders who hold stock certificates (“Scrip Shareholders”) should submit, within the Tender Offer Period but no later than 12:00 noon on January 9, 2012 their duly endorsed original stock certificates and three (3) copies of the duly accomplished Application to Tender together with the requirements indicated immediately below, to ATR KimEng Securities, Inc.

For Tendering Shareholders residing in Visayas and Mindanao, the Digitel Public Shares may be tendered by submitting on or before January 3, 2012, likewise with all foregoing requirements at the Cebu and Davao branches of the TO Agent: (a) Cebu Branch: Room 206, Cebu Holdings Center, Cebu Business Park, Cebu City, Philippines; telephone No. (+63) (32) 231-1324 (Attention: Cheryl Lim-Go) and (b) Davao Branch: Door #7 M.T. Aquino Building, Cabaguio Ave. cor. Bolcan Street, Davao City Philippines; Telephone No. (+63) (82) 224-2860 (Attention: Miguel Luis R. Aquino).

The TO Agent will act as agent in submitting the share certificates to the Bidder’s stock transfer agent, BDO Stock Transfer Department, for validation. Tendering Shareholders are strongly encouraged to avoid tendering at the last minute to allow sufficient time to correct any deficiency in their Applications to Tender.

Tendering shareholders whose shares are lodged with the Philippine Depository Trust Corporation (“PDTC”) (“Scripless Shareholders”) who wish to accept the offer should instruct their brokers to electronically transfer their shares to the TO Agent in accordance with the Instructions to Participating Brokers, which is Exhibit E to the SEC Form 19-1 filed by the Bidder with the SEC), as well as the duly completed Application to Tender, not later than 10:00 A.M. on January 9, 2012.

Page 56 of 59

Exhibit1

Applications (i) received after the Tender Offer Period, or (ii) that are not properly completed, or (iii) lack any of the required attachments, will be rejected. Tendering Shareholders whose Applications have been rejected, in whole or in part, shall be notified of such fact by the TO Agent on or before January 15, 2012. All Applications shall be accepted only in the Philippines. Defective Applications to Tender (e.g. with discrepancy between the specimen signatures on file and on the endorsement, is improperly accomplished, lacking any of the required attachments) will be rejected if not corrected within the Tender Offer Period.

Digitel Public Shareholders may withdraw any tendered Digitel Public Shares at any time during the Tender Offer Period but only up to 12:00 noon on January 9, 2012, by submitting a written request for withdrawal of the tendered shares to the TO Agent with a copy of the “Applicant’s Copy” of the Application to Tender issued by the TO Agent. If tendered Tender Offer Shares are not accepted by the Bidder after January 9, 2012, Tendering Shareholders may likewise withdraw their tendered shares.

The settlement date shall be January 19, 2012, subject to any extension of the Tender Offer Period with the approval of the SEC. All accepted Applications shall be settled only in the Philippines.

When collecting payment, the Tendering Shareholders shall present the “Applicant’s Copy” of the Application as well as proper identification (e.g., driver’s license, passport). Duly authorized representatives shall be required to present an authorization letter from the Tendering Shareholders. Tendering beneficial owners of Tender Offer Shares are advised to consult with their custodian, fiduciaries, or other similar agents on the manner by which they may collect payment from such agents.

Before deciding to tender their shares, Digitel Public Shareholders are advised to read the Terms of the Tender Offer and the SEC Form 19-1 which are enclosed with this letter. Choosing to participate in the Tender Offer is an investment decision and Digitel Public Shareholders must rely on their examination of the Terms of the Tender Offer and their own advisers, as needed.

Digitel Public Shareholders are also advised to consider the following factors which could affect their decision on whether to tender their Digitel Public Shares:

  In addition to Digitel common shares, PLDT has also acquired from the Sellers certain convertible bonds and advances owed by the Digitel group to JGS. PLDT has delivered an irrevocable notice to convert/exchange these convertible bonds into common shares of Digitel upon their maturity. Assuming the convertible bonds were converted into /exchanged for Digitel shares on June 30, 2011 and using an exchange rate of P43.405/US dollar, which were the same assumptions used by PLDT and JGS in setting the purchase price, PLDT will own an aggregate 87.7% of Digitel’s enlarged capital stock, which means that the ownership of Digitel Public Shareholders will be reduced from 48.4% currently to an estimated 12.3%. On November 25, 2011, PLDT informed Digitel that it will convert P4 billion worth of such bonds into 4 billion common shares of Digitel by December 8, 2011, which will result in PLDT owning approximately 70.2% of Digitel’s enlarged capital stock before considering any Digitel Public Shares tendered during the Tender Offer. For this purpose, Digitel will apply with the SEC for an increase in its authorized capital stock from P9 billion to P25 billion on or before December 31, 2011.

Page 57 of 59

Exhibit1

  Depending on the acceptance rate of the Tender Offer, the ownership of Digitel Public Shareholders may fall below the minimum public float level of 10% required by the PSE. If a company fails to comply with the minimum public ownership requirement of the PSE, involuntary delisting procedures may be initiated. Further, Digitel would have to apply for voluntary delisting with the PSE if, as a consequence of the Tender Offer, the public ownership of Digitel falls below the minimum prescribed by the PSE. If Digitel is delisted, its shares will no longer be traded on the PSE and this could affect investors’ ability to liquidate their investments. Also, any capital gains generated from their subsequent sale or transfer will be subject to the prevailing capital gains taxes. Subsequent sale or transfer will also be subject to documentary stamp tax.

  If as a result of the Tender Offer, Digitel shall cease to be a reporting company as defined in the SRC and its implementing rules and regulations as amended, PLDT intends to cause Digitel to take such steps necessary to terminate its reporting obligations under the SRC.

  Historically, Digitel has not paid cash dividends to its shareholders. As the priority will continue to be repayment of debt and advances, it is unlikely that Digitel will be in a position to pay cash dividends to its shareholders in the next few years.

On the other hand, under PLDT’s current dividend policy, it is committed to a 70% dividend payout ratio and a “look-back” approach which facilitates additional shareholder returns in the event that there is excess cash in the business. PLDT has maintained a 100% dividend payout ratio since 2007. In 2010, PLDT paid cash dividends of P222/share. In March 2011, PLDT was ranked by Alpha Southeast Asia as the second largest dividend payer in Southeast Asia in terms of total dividends paid.

In anticipation of the Tender Offer and prior to the sale of the Digitel shares to PLDT, the Board of Directors of Digitel engaged an independent financial advisor, Citicorp Capital Philippines Inc. to render an opinion on the fairness of the Tender Offer from the perspective of the Digitel Public Shareholders. A copy of the report of the independent financial advisor dated April 20, 2011 is attached to the SEC Form 19-1 as Exhibit G.
