1 Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation beneficially owns (i) 12,633,487 shares through NTT Communications Corporation, its wholly-owned subsidiary, and (ii) 18,664,955 shares through NTT DoCoMo, Inc., its majority-owned publicly-traded subsidiary.

This Amendment No. 6 (“ Amendment No. 6 ”) amends the Schedule 13D dated March 24, 2000 (the “ Schedule 13D ”), which was filed in paper format with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ SEC ”) on behalf of the Reporting Persons (as defined herein) and NTT-UK (as defined herein), relating to the Common Shares (as defined herein) of Philippine Long Distance Telephone Company, a corporation organized under the laws of the Philippines (the “ Company ” or “ PLDT ”), as amended by Amendment No. 1 dated December 11, 2002 (“ Amendment No. 1 ”), by Amendment No. 2 dated January 31, 2006 (“ Amendment No. 2 ”), by Amendment No. 3 dated March 14, 2006 (“ Amendment No. 3 ”), by Amendment No. 4 dated April 16, 2007 (“ Amendment No. 4 ”) and by Amendment No. 5 dated June 27, 2007 (“ Amendment No. 5 ”). The purpose of this Amendment No. 6 is to reflect the acquisition of Common Shares of PLDT by NTT DoCoMo, Inc. (“ DoCoMo ”), a majority-owned subsidiary of Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation (“ NTT ”), in open market purchases from June 28, 2007 through July 31, 2007. Unless specifically amended hereby, the disclosure in the Schedule 13D, as amended by Amendment No. 1, Amendment No. 2, Amendment No. 3, Amendment No. 4 and Amendment No. 5, remains unchanged.

All capitalized terms used, but not defined, in this Amendment No. 6 are defined in Amendment No. 3. The summary descriptions (if any) contained herein of certain agreements and documents are qualified in their entirety by reference to the complete text of such agreements and documents filed as Exhibits to Amendment No. 3 or incorporated in Amendment No. 3 by reference.

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

Item 3 of Amendment No. 3, as amended by Amendment No. 4 and Amendment No. 5, is hereby further amended by adding the following:

June and July 2007 DoCoMo Open Market Purchases

From June 28, 2007 through July 31, 2007, DoCoMo made open market purchases of Common Shares through the Philippine Stock Exchange and American Depositary Shares representing Common Shares through the New York Stock Exchange. Through these open market purchases, DoCoMo has acquired 2,042,753 additional shares (including 1,130,673 shares represented by American Depositary Shares) (the “ Third Additional DoCoMo PLDT Shares ”) representing approximately 1.1% of the outstanding capital stock of PLDT. All of the funds used to pay for the Third Additional DoCoMo PLDT Shares were from DoCoMo’s available cash resources.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

Item 4 of Amendment No. 3, as amended by Amendment No. 4 and Amendment No. 5, is hereby further amended by adding the following paragraphs:

June and July 2007 DoCoMo Open Market Purchases

DoCoMo is acquiring the Third Additional DoCoMo PLDT Shares for the same purposes as those described in this Item 4 with respect to its acquisition of the DoCoMo PLDT Shares.

Upon the acquisition of the Third Additional DoCoMo PLDT Shares, DoCoMo will beneficially own, in the aggregate, approximately 16.6% of the voting power attached to the outstanding Common Shares.

Following the acquisition of the Third Additional DoCoMo PLDT Shares, if DoCoMo deems market and other conditions as favorable, or if it otherwise decides, DoCoMo may increase its ownership of the Company’s equity securities through open market purchases, negotiated purchases, or other transactions, up to the limitation of 21% of the Common Shares issued and outstanding as described in this Item 4. However, if DoCoMo does not deem market and other conditions as favorable or if it otherwise decides, it may not do so.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

Paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of Item 5 of Amendment No. 3, as amended by Amendment No. 4 and Amendment No. 5, are hereby further amended and restated as follows:

(a) By virtue of NTT’s ownership of all of the outstanding capital stock of NTT Communications Corporation (“ NTTC ”) and a majority of the common stock of DoCoMo and the terms of the Stock Sale and Purchase Agreement (applicable to the DoCoMo PLDT Shares) and Co-Operation Agreement (applicable to the DoCoMo PLDT Shares, the Additional DoCoMo PLDT Shares (as defined in Amendment No. 4), the Second Additional DoCoMo PLDT Shares (as defined in Amendment No. 5) and the Third Additional DoCoMo PLDT Shares), the Reporting Persons and DoCoMo constitute a “group” within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and therefore, each of the Reporting Persons may be deemed to have acquired beneficial ownership of the 31,298,442 Common Shares, in aggregate, beneficially held by the Reporting Persons and DoCoMo. Given the terms of the Shareholders Agreement and the Co-Operation Agreement (as described in Amendment No. 3), the Reporting Persons and DoCoMo and the other parties to the Strategic Agreement, the Shareholders Agreement and the Co-Operation Agreement might be deemed to constitute a “group.” However, the Reporting Persons disclaim that they have agreed to act as a group with any other parties to the Strategic Agreement, the Shareholders Agreement or the Cooperation Agreement (other than to the extent provided in the Shareholders Agreement and the Co-Operation Agreement) and the Reporting Persons disclaim beneficial ownership of the Common Shares other than the amounts of shares reported for the Reporting Persons herein.

(b) NTTC has the shared power to vote or dispose or to direct the vote or disposition of the 31,298,442 Common Shares beneficially owned by NTTC and DoCoMo. By virtue of its ownership of all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of NTTC and a majority of the issued and outstanding capital stock of DoCoMo, NTT has the power to direct the voting or disposition of the Common Shares beneficially owned by NTTC and DoCoMo.

5

(c) Except for the purchase by DoCoMo of the Additional DoCoMo PLDT Shares, the Second Additional DoCoMo PLDT Shares and the Third Additional DoCoMo PLDT Shares described in Item 3, neither the Reporting Persons, nor to the knowledge of each Reporting Person, any of its directors or executive officers has effected any transaction in the Common Shares during the past sixty days. The following table sets forth, for the open market purchases by DoCoMo described in Item 3, the dates of such open market purchases, the numbers of the Additional DoCoMo PLDT Shares, the Second Additional DoCoMo PLDT Shares and the Third Additional DoCoMo PLDT Shares purchased, the prices per share (rounded to the nearest one U.S. cent or one Philippine centavo) of such purchases and the exchange through which such open market purchases were effected (the open market purchases made through the New York Stock Exchange were for American Depositary Shares of PLDT, each representing one Common Share):
