Receivables from foreign administrations and domestic carriers represent receivables based on interconnection agreements with other telecommunications carriers. The aforementioned amounts of receivables are shown net of related payables to the same telecommunications carriers where a legal right of offset exists and settlement is facilitated on a net basis. Receivables from dealers, agents and others consist mainly of receivables from credit card companies, dealers and distributors having collection arrangements with the PLDT Group, dividend receivables and advances to affiliates. Trade and other receivables are noninterest-bearing and generally have settlement terms of 30 to 180 days. For terms and conditions relating to related party receivables, see Note 25 – Related Party Transactions. See Note 28 – Financial Assets and Liabilities on credit risk of trade receivables to understand how we manage and measure credit quality of trade receivables that are neither past due nor impaired. The following table explains the changes in the allowance for expected credit losses as at December 31, 2022 and 2021:
