CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

PLDT observes the highest standards of corporate governance as reflected in

their Articles of Incorporation, By-Laws, Manual on Corporate Governance (CG
Manual), Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (Code of Ethics), and pertinent laws,
rules and regulations.
Since it is a publicly-listed Philippine corporation, PLDT is governed by
corporate governance rules and regulations of the Philippine Securities and
Exchange Commission (Philippine SEC) and the Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE). In
addition, since its American Depositary Shares are listed and traded in the New York
Stock Exchange (NYSE), PLDT also voluntarily complies with the corporate
governance standards of the United States. Lastly, the company also considers the
corporate governance standards of Hong Kong for guidance and benchmarking
purposes since PLDT is an associated company of First Pacific Company Ltd. (First
Pacific), which is listed in the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.
