This Amendment No. 2 (this “ Amendment No. 2 ”) amends the Schedule 13D (the “ Schedule 13D ”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ SEC ”) on February 10, 2006, as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto filed with the SEC on April 18, 2007, relating to the common capital stock, par value five Philippine Pesos (“ Php ”) per share (the “ Common Shares ”), of Philippine Long Distance Telephone Company, a corporation organized under the laws of the Philippines (the “ Company ” or “ PLDT ”). Unless specifically amended hereby, the disclosures set forth in the Schedule 13D (as amended) remain unchanged.

All capitalized terms used, but not defined, in this Amendment No. 2 are defined in the Schedule 13D (as amended). 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 hereto or incorporated herein by reference.

ITEM 2. Identity and Background

Paragraphs (a) – (c) and (f) of Item 2 of the Schedule 13D, as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto, are hereby further amended by replacing Schedule A to Amendment No. 1 with Schedule A to this Amendment No. 2.

ITEM 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended by adding the following paragraph:

From April 17, 2007 through June 27, 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 2,022,654 shares (including 844,194 shares represented by American Depositary Shares) (the “Second Additional DoCoMo PLDT Shares”) representing approximately 1.1% of the outstanding capital stock of PLDT. All of the funds used to pay for the Second Additional DoCoMo PLDT Shares were from DoCoMo’s available cash resources.

ITEM 4. Purpose of Transaction

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended by adding the following paragraphs:

DoCoMo is acquiring the Second 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 Second Additional DoCoMo PLDT Shares, DoCoMo will beneficially own, in the aggregate, approximately 15.5% of the voting power attached to the outstanding Common Shares.

Following the acquisition of the Second 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 the Schedule 13D are hereby amended and restated as follows:

(a) By virtue of NTT’s ownership of all of the outstanding capital stock of 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 the Co-Operation Agreement (applicable to the DoCoMo PLDT Shares, the Additional DoCoMo PLDT Shares and the Second Additional DoCoMo PLDT Shares), NTT, NTTC and DoCoMo constitute a “group” within the meaning of section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and therefore, DoCoMo may be deemed to have acquired beneficial ownership of the 29,255,689 Common Shares, in aggregate, beneficially held by NTTC and DoCoMo. Given the terms of the Shareholders Agreement and the Co-Operation Agreement (as described in the Schedule 13D), NTTC 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, DoCoMo disclaims that it has agreed to act as a group with any parties to the Strategic Agreement, the Shareholders Agreement or the Co-Operation Agreement other than NTTC (other than to the extent provided in the Shareholders Agreement and the Co-Operation Agreement) and DoCoMo disclaims beneficial ownership of the Common Shares other than the amounts of shares reported herein.

(b) As the registered owner, DoCoMo has the shared power to vote or dispose or to direct the vote or disposition of the 29,255,689 Common Shares beneficially owned by NTTC and DoCoMo. By virtue of its ownership of 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 the DoCoMo.

(c) Except for the acquisition of the Additional DoCoMo PLDT Shares and Second Additional DoCoMo PLDT Shares as described in Item 3, neither DoCoMo, nor to its knowledge, 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 Additional DoCoMo PLDT Shares or Second 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):
