 MESSAGE TO STOCKHOLDERS
The changing dynamics in the domestic telecommunications industry has
posed increased challenges and intensified competition in the market which put
pressure on your Company’s profitability in 2005. This prompted Globe to focus
heavily on refining its business model to better adapt and respond to these
challenging market conditions.
Our efforts this year centered on strengthening Globe’s competitiveness to
achieve better topline performance while enhancing value and returns for
our customers and stakeholders. More importantly, we continued to lay the
groundwork for the next wave of growth in the sector. The new trends toward
greater convergence of fixed and mobile services, the advent of new generation
technologies and regulatory-driven changes with the licensing of new services
such as Voice over Internet Protocol and broadband wireless services are
certain to usher in a new dimension in Philippine telecommunications services.
IMPROVING PRICE AND MARKET COMPETITIVENESS
In line with moves to reinforce competitiveness, Globe directed its marketing
efforts towards price-based promotions and more innovative value added
services. Given an increasingly price-sensitive market and less robust prospects
for subscriber growth in the wireless segment, it was important to shape
services that yielded the optimum price and value equation for our customers
to encourage greater usage and sustain subscriber loyalty. Underlying this is an
emphasis on customer satisfaction which has always been central to Globe and
key to its success over the past decade.
GLOBE TELECOM, INC.
We continued to lay the
groundwork for the next wave of
growth in the sector.
Globe has also continued to tap the vast potentials of the mobile phone beyond
its traditional use in communication to allow services that include microfinance
transactions through G-Cash. We have expanded our G-Cash partnerships with
more merchants, retailers and banks as it continues to build momentum for this
service. All these initiatives proved to be effective in increasing patronage which
reflected positively in the growth of Globe’s wireless revenues during the year.
Investments in the past years to develop the wireline segment of our business
have also yielded positive results as indicated by the strong growth in wireline
subscribers and revenues this year. Various initiatives were introduced to expand
and increase market presence for all types of wireline voice and data services.
INSTITUTING BETTER COST MANAGEMENT
Equally important are the cost-management initiatives that are an integral part
of our efforts to enhance our competitiveness. Cost-cutting measures across
all areas of operations have been implemented. Apart from more cost-effective
marketing programs, we continued with semi-turnkey arrangements in the build
up of our network coverage providing us greater control over our expansion
initiatives.

 TAPPING AN EXCITING FUTURE
As we pioneered ways to provide greater value for our customers, we continue
to pursue new revenue streams with the emerging broadband market. We are
even more excited by the prospects of our next generation 3G mobile services
as we roll out the first phase of commercial service in 2006. We believe 3G
will redefine mobile communication and applications given the faster data
transmission speeds afforded by this technology.
The emerging VoIP service which enables international calls over the internet
at a very affordable rate is also expected to support the Philippine broadband
revolution as nationwide internet connectivity increases.
Our nationwide license to operate our wireline service via our subsidiary Innove
Communications will also further widen its base of customers, ultimately
enabling more consumers to benefit economically from broadband connection
and its conveniences.
These new trends and technologies promise new possibilities and Globe will
remain at the forefront to pursue its mandate to pioneer the future of Philippine
telecommunications. We certainly take great pride in the developmental role that
Globe has played in catalyzing the growth of the Philippine telecommunications
industry as the government created an enabling environment for greater private
sector participation over a decade ago. Today, telecommunications services
have improved substantially since the breakup of its monopolistic structure. The
industry has become a robust pillar of growth for the economy as a whole and is
a consistently strong contributor to the country’s GDP growth.
GLOBE TELECOM, INC.
More importantly, Globe has spawned a host of entrepreneurial activity
built around the industry, enabling a new class of entrepreneurs to
contribute not only to our company’s growth but to the broader economy.
They are wide and varied, from the extensive retail network for Autoload
Max reload to application programming for mobile content ranging from
simple ringtones and phone logos to Java-based games for GPRS, and to
industries devoted to prepaid call card sales, handset and accessories
sales as well as service centers. As we enter a new phase in telephony
with the advent of new technologies, we hope to remain of service to
many Filipinos around the world in countless ways. As we are privileged
to be stewards of thriving businesses, we are honored to have a hand
in empowering others by helping them realize their own entrepreneurial
aspirations.
We are grateful for the continued faith of many of these entrepreneurs
who form a crucial ground-level frontline for our business and are thankful
to our customers for their loyal patronage. We are likewise grateful to
our business partners for their shared expertise and knowledge, our
management team and employees for their dedicated service, our board of
directors for their wisdom and guidance, and for our shareholders for their
continued confidence in the vision of Globe to make great things possible.

 MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
2005 was a year of transformation for Globe Telecom. It will be remembered as
the year that challenged the entire telecommunications industry to deliver value
to a new breed of subscribers who want more for far less, in an environment
where the customer’s telecommunications spend had to take a back seat to
rapidly rising fuel prices. Intense price competition and changing consumer
profiles tested your company’s ability to stay relevant and responsive, but also
provided your Company with an opportunity to step back and sharpen the entire
organization’s focus towards improving its competitive position by enhancing
customer value propositions, attacking its cost structures, and building the
foundations for long-term success.
We are pleased to report that many of these efforts have begun to bear
fruit as we ended the year with a robust performance that will provide us
positive momentum as we move forward to what will certainly be an equally
challenging 2006.
A NEW MISSION AND VISION FOR THE COMPANY
In 2000, Globe wrote its first Vision, Mission and Values statement anchored on
the proposition that we provide more than just lines, but solutions to customers’
communications-based needs. Since that time, Globe has come into its own as a
force that not only provides communications solutions but breakthrough services
that change the way people do things. In 2005, Globe defined for itself a new
VMV statement that reflects this mission to transform and enrich people’s lives
through communication and its vision to make great things possible for every
Filipino. This new VMV statement, cascaded throughout the organization in
2005, has reinvigorated the company’s competitive spirit, serving as our battle
cry as we venture into exciting new territories while continuing to build on past
successes. Sa Globe, Posible.
7 ANNUAL REPORT 2005
WIRELESS BUSINESS
Improved Pricing Competitiveness and Enhanced Customer Value
Innovation and pinpoint marketing efforts were the broad themes behind all our
efforts in the wireless business in 2005. Throughout the year, Globe sought
new and highly focused ways to address the market first by repositioning Touch
Mobile (TM) to appeal to the mass market, and second by recasting price
promotions across all of the Company’s brands to lead the market away from
value-destroying unlimited offers and onto price initiatives targeting key segments
and specific consumer needs.
Relaunched as “TM, ang Bagong Touch Mobile” with the rallying cry “Power
to the Piso”, the new TM targeted the Filipino worker through the Power Piso
service, which charges a friendly rate of P1 for TM-to-TM calls starting on the
third minute. TM made significant inroads into the mass market and surged
ahead in 2005, growing its subscriber base from 1.7 million in 2004 to
3.1 million in 2005.
Globe also led the market with improved price propositions for its three brands:
Globe Handyphone, Globe Prepaid, and TM. Your Company not only responded to
unlimited price offers in the market but went well beyond traditional discounting
and unlimited price plans by offering price packages tailored for specific needs
under the Globe CelebRATE! and TM Todo Tawag / Todo Text offerings.
In the fourth quarter of 2005, Globe again led the market by launching per
second charging for mobile calls, enabling subscribers to be charged only 10
centavos for actual usage measured to the second rather than rounded up to
the minute, for all Globe-to-Globe and TM-to-TM calls.
Our persistent efforts in reinventing our price proposition and honing our
communication with the market to target specific segments and needs have
yielded positive results through increased usage as well as healthy additions

permanent offers, a testament to the market’s understanding and enthusiastic
response to Globe’s clear value propositions.
Superior Network Coverage
The company mandate to pursue closer alignment with segment-specific needs
permeated even the network roll-out as we calibrated our 2005 network build to
increase penetration in new areas and increase capacity and coverage in
areas where demand was largest. Your Company added 1,423 cell sites to
its network in 2005, augmenting coverage strength to total 5,159 cell sites.
This represents a far-reaching 93% geographic coverage and 97% population
coverage of the Philippines.
Breakthrough Services
G-Cash
In 2004, Globe introduced G-Cash, our mobile micropayments system, to the
world. In 2005, we worked to explore new horizons with G-Cash by partnering
with various establishments who have not only agreed to accept payment via G-
Cash but have even helped Globe create new applications for this breakthrough
product.
Our collaboration with BancNet connected G-Cash to the banking system,
enabling subscribers to top-up their G-Cash wallets from their bank accounts
GLOBE TELECOM, INC.
via the ATM, internet banking or mobile banking. The tie-up with Bancnet also
enables funds transfer from a subscriber’s ATM account in a Bancnet member-
bank to another person’s G-Cash wallet via the Bancnet Interbank Fund Transfer
facility. We also continue to work with the Rural Banks Association of the
Philippines to enable microfinance payments in the countryside via G-Cash.
We are delighted that the market has caught on to the benefits of G-Cash.
By the end of 2005, G-Cash had more than 1.2 million registered users and
formed alliances with over 500 local and international partners to provide our
subscribers access to 4,500 merchant partners. We are also elated at the
local and international recognition that it has received.
Moving forward, we will continue to build an increasingly robust ecosystem to
support G-Cash and make even greater things possible with this life-changing
technology.
Bridge Services
In 2005, Globe leveraged on its membership in Bridge Mobile Alliance,
Asia Pacific’s largest mobile consortium, to enhance its menu of services
– specifically for roaming clients. This strong alliance continues to represent
unique opportunities to redefine mobile experience in Asia Pacific, offering a
suite of exclusive benefits and privileges to 70 million subscribers in the region.
New services came in the form of Bridge Roaming, Bridge Prepaid and Bridge
Concierge.

Bridge Roaming enables our subscribers to benefit from a more seamless
roaming coverage and wider range of communication options. Bridge Prepaid
provides convenience for our customers and Bridge member country customers
as they are able to top up credits at any Bridge counter in member countries.
Lastly, Bridge Concierge offers personalized services to roamers of any Bridge
member country traveling to Bridge member destinations such as technical
assistance, queries on roaming, and lost phones. Special assistance services
include SIM replacement, as well as free IDD calls to the home customer service
facility.
Globe Kababayan
In 2005 Globe went on a concerted effort to connect to the growing number of
Overseas Filipino Workers through Globe Kababayan, our program for various
cross border remittance and reload services offered in top OFW destinations
such as Hong Kong, Singapore,Taiwan, Japan, UK and the US. Services like
G-Cash International Remittance via Text and Quick Remit and Load offered
the OFW new ways to send money home, while International Share-A-Load and
International Autoload Max allowed overseas Filipinos to send load to relatives
in the Philippines. We also partnered with telecom operators such as Singtel
and Maxis of Malaysia to launch co-branded Prepaid SIMs for the OFWs that
offered special rates and promos such as IDD calls at local call rates and lower
international text messaging rates to subscribers who are on Globe or TM in
the Philippines.
Emerging Technologies
Globe is at the forefront of the Philippines’ adoption of 3G, the third generation
mobile service that offers high-speed video and data service capabilities. Globe
was the first to be granted a 3G trial license by the NTC in July 2005. It was
also the first to conduct a video call over mobile using our 3G test network. As
early as July, we launched 3G roaming services for our subscribers with 3G
capable handsets roaming over SingTel, Maxis and KDDI networks in Singapore,
Malaysia and Japan, respectively.
Globe showcased its 3G capability at the 23rd Southeast Asian Games held
in Manila, of which Globe was a proud sponsor. In the spirit of competition
and bringing people closer together, your Company stood as the Games’ sole
wireless provider, reaching out to inspire the country and its athletes as the
Philippines, for the first time, topped the regional athletic event.
In December, Globe was granted a license to offer the service. Work on a
commercial launch of the 3G service is at its peak.

To complement these efforts, we also reached out to the OFW families by

expanding the Globe Kababayan value proposition to offer special IDD rates and
perks in partner retail establishments.

As more and more Filipinos travel to opportunities in the region, so too do we

improve our ability to support the Filipino wherever he goes. Bridge helps make
this possible.

9 ANNUAL REPORT 2005

 WIRELINE BUSINESS
Our wireline business has gained significant headway amidst a very competitive
environment.
Our wireline subscribers continued to grow, reaching over 360,000
subscribers at year end. And as Innove secured a license to operate a Local
Exchange Carrier service nationwide, we will gear up to offer voice services to
locations in the country that present an opportunity. The nationwide franchise
would allow Innove greater flexibility in maximizing previously invested capacities
while helping the Government attract foreign investments by providing a better,
reliable and state-of–the-art telecommunication facilities all over the country.
Customers, especially in areas where virtual monopolies exist, will then be given
the choice of service provider and the opportunity to enjoy world-class service.
Innove took steps to tap new revenue streams and expand its range of
services.
Among these is Globelines Broadband which offers value-priced, high-speed
data services over a nationwide broadband network. We are excited about
the potential of this service which offers our customers, through the Internet,
better communication, knowledge, and entertainment services through richer
and faster connectivity.
Another is GlobeQuest’s Wireless Internet Zone (WiZ) which utilizes WiFi
technology that allows wireless broadband surfing at popular consumer
hangouts. As of year end, we had the largest WiFi hotspot footprint covering
236 outlets nationwide.
...we committed ourselves to
pursue a sound, long-term strategy
that will build the underpinnings of
sustainable growth...
GLOBE TELECOM, INC.
We also started offering VoIP service which lets our subscribers place calls to
other countries at much lower international rates. Towards the end of 2005,
Globe Broadband offered 30 free minutes of IDD through its VoIP services.
On another front, we introduced the Globe1 card which is a universal call
card that offered a new level of convenience to our customers. It allows users
to make local, national, and international calls from any Globelines, Globe
Handyphone, or TM facility, and provides access to the Internet through dial-up
from any prepaid internet service provider.
We also introduced Globelines Worldpass, a service that gives our subscribers
internet connection from multiple access points: via Globelines Broadband,
or dial-up from any computer and landline within the country, via international
access through the iPass network or via WiFi from any WiZ hotspot using WiFi
enabled devices such as PDAs, laptops and cell phones.
OUR 2005 PERFORMANCE
2005 was a time of stepping back and understanding where our efforts in
the past several years have brought us in the light of the new challenges that
now shape a dynamic and highly competitive industry. 2005 called upon the
company to change the way it did things so that it could, in turn, become
more competitive. The recalibration of our marketing efforts to respond to the
changing market realities and sharpen our focus on key consumer segments,
our conscious choice to offer the market a different value proposition, and our
embrace of new – and potentially disruptive – technologies was not without cost.
That notwithstanding, we committed ourselves to pursue a sound, long-term
strategy that will build the underpinnings of sustainable growth: customer-centric
propositions, greater usage habits, superior network coverage, and the ability to
enrich the Filipino’s life wherever he may be.
On the wireless front, we retained leadership in the postpaid segment of the
wireless market, while making inroads into the prepaid segment with TM. The
positive response of subscribers to our value offers and more competitive
pricing, as well as wider network coverage, contributed to the 3% growth in our
wireless net service revenues to P48.5 billion.

 2005 OPERATIONAL ACHIEVEMENTS
How does an enterprise thrive in a multi-player industry that is highly competitive?
What will set it apart from its rivals?
These are basic questions that drove and shaped
your Company’s strategy in 2005. To go about
facing the challenges at hand, Globe Telecom went
back to the foundation of its operations – its passion
for customer satisfaction. Indeed, its consumer-
centered approach enabled the continuous creation
and evolution of unique and innovative services that
have responded to the needs of a discriminating
market. More than ever, Globe has become an
indispensable part of daily life for an increasing
number of people. As it pushes the envelope of
telecommunications and forges new paths from new
technologies, it keeps a close watch on the needs
of a diverse consumer base with various needs. The
year 2005 was about this and more – yet invariably
staying connected to the consumers who are our
passion and reason for being.
STRENGTHENED COMPETITIVENESS
Nimbleness can spell the difference between
stagnation and success. In 2005, Globe rose to
the challenges of a restless, changing industry by
initiating moves to realize its goals. For one, focus
was placed on strengthening competitiveness to
improve market and financial performance . Globe
continued to further develop markets where we are
strong, simultaneously taking bold steps to venture
into new areas. Our aggressive market expansion
over the last two years has solidified our presence
in different segments, punctuated by the successful
relaunch of TM in establishing greater presence in
the mass market.
GLOBE TELECOM, INC.
Focused strategies allowed for more cost-
effective management that helped us maximize
our resources, as well as enabled your Company
to provide value offerings and loyalty programs to
subscribers through a more efficient cost structure.
CONSUMER-CENTERED RESTRUCTURING
To stay on top of the competition, your Company
launched a series of price-based promotions aimed
at improving its competitveness in an increasingly
price-sensitive market. Indeed, the intense tariff
plays in the market have made promotions a
requisite for acquisition and retention and are
expected to be staple items on the Globe menu in
the near future.
Through our series of Globe CelebRATE! and TM
Todo Tawag, Todo Text offerings, your Company
was able to provide subscribers with price-value
packages designed to increase usage, while
ensuring sustainable network quality at all levels.
Our CelebRATE! promos introduced the following
offers:
• P10-per-3-minute call for all Globe-to-Globe calls
• Budget IDD calls at a low rate of US$ 0.20 per
minute starting on the first minute for IDD calls to
selected countries
• Globe Text Nonstop promo afforded unlimited
texting for only P50 for 5 days, P25 for 2 days,
or P15 for 1 day
In addition, TM provided its subscribers with value
offerings such as TM Todo Tawag 15/15 which
12
allowed subscribers to make 15 minute TM-to-TM
calls for only P15, TM Todo Text which allowed
unlimited texting for only P10 for one day for its
subscribers, and the 75 centavos/text promo for all
TM-to-TM text.
By the end of 2005, these promotions not only
strengthened consumer offer, but also proved to
be revenue accretive for your Company. With the
success of these offerings, our CelebRATE! and
various TM promos were extended due to increased
demand. Our promo Globe Text Nonstop, now
branded as “UnlimiTXT”, has also been made a
permanent offer to subscribers.
Year 2005 also saw the launching of the 10
centavos-per-second promotion which enabled
per-second charging for all intra-network Globe and
TM calls. With no required nor upfront payment to
avail of this service, subscribers could easily use
this service by dialing the 232 and 803 prefixes for
Globe-to-Globe and TM-to-TM calls, respectively.
Globe also evolved its marketing strategy and
organization into product and segment business
management to heighten insight and response to
different markets. This affords us the chance to
make our relentless innovations relevant to our
targeted specific client segments, and useful in the
improvement of our consumers’ quality of life.
Take, for instance, your Company’s highly successful
Globe Kababayan service specifically designed to
cater the needs of the OFW and his family.
The service has penetrated major OFW destinations
around the world with its array of various cross-
border remittances and reload services. A package
of new offerings for OFWs, aspiring OFWs, and their
families expanded your Company’s value proposition
with offerings such as special IDD rates and IDD
usage-based rewards, exclusive perks and privileges
with partner merchants, and a mobile menu that
provides relevant information to OFW dependents
and aspirants. The Globe Kababayan service was
also spiced up with the special IDD and ISMS
promotion specifically for our subs who call and text
between the Philippines and destinations including
Singapore and Malaysia.
G-Cash Celebrates Its 1st Year
Year 2005 also marked the first year of G-Cash
with over 1.2 million registered users generating
an average of almost P3 million in total daily
transactions. Your Company has achieved this with
the support of over 500 partner establishments
with over 4,500 outlets nationwide.
Innovative breakthroughs such as the partnership
between G-Cash and BancNet headlined the
celebration which enables connectivity of G-Cash to
banking systems. Through G-Cash, our subscribers
can also pay for utility bills such as Manila Water
and Meralco bills, insurance premiums, fast food
purchases and school tuition fees.
G-Cash reaped recognition both in the Philippines
and abroad, winning various prestigious awards:
“Most Innovative Mobile Operator Service” at the
Asian MobileNews Awards in Singapore (June
2005); “Best M-Commerce Application or Service”
at the Global Messaging Awards in London (June
2005); Philippines’ Mobile Communications
Effectiveness Award (August 2005); and Agora
Awards for World Class Excellence in Philippine
Marketing (November 2005). These have helped
G-Cash become more accepted across 14 countries
in Asia, Middle East, Europe and North America.

INCREASING MARKET REACH
Our network rollout has also continued, albeit with a
steadier gait, compared to our aggressive push
in 2004.
Your Company’s network expansion showed results
via increased penetration in new areas for both our
Globe Handyphone and TM brands. By the end of the
year, our network reached 93% of all municipalities,
enabling 97% of the Philippine population to have
access to Globe. Our total capital expenditure for the
year 2005 amounted to P14.8 billion, with our cell
site count topping 5,159 after the addition of 1,423
from last year.
With the recent awarding by the NTC of a national
LEC license to our wholly-owned subsidiary Innove
Communications, our wireline business is poised to
become even more competitive. 2005 saw the
launch of various initiatives to further promote our
suite of products and services, the most significant
being Globelines Broadband, our consumer
broadband service. We also continued to build
on our Wireless Internet Zone (Wiz) services,
GLOBE TELECOM, INC.
establishing an extensive WiFi hotspot footprint
covering 236 outlets nationwide, including branches
of Starbucks and McDonalds. We also installed the
first WiFi mesh in Boracay, making the entire main
beach area WiFi capable.
The continued expansion of both our wireless and
wireline network will continue to serve as our vehicle
to enhance leverage in this increasingly competitive
market.
TAPPING NEW REVENUE STREAMS
The Bridge Mobile Alliance continues to provide a
unique experience that has redefined the mobile
experience for its 70 million subscribers in the Asia-
Pacific. The suite of mobile services includes Bridge
Roaming, Bridge Prepaid and Bridge Concierge. This
innovative and convenient service provides roaming
benefits and exclusive privileges to subscribers. For
instance, during the December 2005 SEA Games
in Manila, Bridge partners were extended reduced
rates for voice, SMS and GPRS roaming.
Your Company also leveraged on the alliance
with our Bridge partners such as Singtel and
14
Maxis Malaysia to offer special IDD rates to our
subscribers who call Singtel and Maxis subscribers.
Our wireline business also tapped on new revenue
streams arising from broadband, WiFi and VoIP
services.
Globelines and GlobeQUEST Broadband’s value-
priced, high-speed data services over the Innove
broadband network continue to increase awareness,
interest and adoption of broadband services among
independent consumers and corporations.
GlobeQuest’s Wiz service allows wireless broadband
surfing at the most convenient places in and around
favorite consumer hang-outs – including Glorietta
and Greenbelt in Makati, Ayala Center in Cebu,
Microtel Inn in Cavite and Batangas, and Davao
International Airport.
With the advent of Voice over Internet Protocol
(VoIP) technology, your Company also launched VoIP
service in 2005, allowing broadband subscribers to
make calls to 51 countries for only US$0.05 per
minute.
LEADING IN TECHNOLOGY
3G: Globe’s Many Firsts
Your Company is also looking forward to the next-in-
line technological advancements such as 3G. In
line with our commitment to be at the forefront
of new technologies, your Company proactively
embarked on the 3G technology, establishing many
firsts in the area of obtaining a trial license, fulfilling
formal NTC requirements for application of 3G
license, providing live demonstrations of 3G video
calls using our 3G network, as well as offering 3G
roaming services to subscribers with 3G-capable
handsets roaming over selected countries.
GAINING POSITIVE MOMENTUM
TM Relaunch: Banner Year
2005 was a banner year for our revitalized TM
brand. The exceptional performance by TM since
its relaunch has resulted in significant growth in its
subscriber base, reaching an impressive 3.1 million
at year end. Various promotions and initiatives
such as TM’s Todo-Text /Todo-Tawag have been
equally successful with our subscribers yielding a
total of P2.7 billion in incremental revenues. The
continued growth in this segment is testament to
our success in providing our Filipino workers with the
power to use mobile phone services through better
affordability.
Subscribers’ Strong Uptake for Services
The robust performance of our wireless business is
greatly attributable to the strong uptake of value-
based promotions which led to increased usage
by subscribers, and driving a 4% year-on-year
increase in total net service revenues. Our SIM base
was steady at 12.4 million, but is of better quality
following the clean-up of non-revenue-generating
subscribers.
Our wireline service, which continues to register
double digit growth rates, generated 362,143
subscribers by the end of the year, a solid increase
of 12% from last year. Total net service revenues
also grew by 13%, reaching P6.4 billion. This
contributed 12% to Globe’s total revenue, broadly in
line with last year’s revenue contribution.

 Wireline Business
Innove, a wholly-owned subsidiary, provides our wireline voice communications
services, including local, national long distance, international long distance and
other value-added services, through its postpaid, prepaid and payphone lines,
under the brand name Globelines. On June 17, 2005, Innove was awarded by
the NTC with a nationwide franchise for our wireline business, allowing us to
expand our network to bring together the whole nation.
Globelines provides state-of-the-art digital communications technologies to
homes and small and medium enterprises. With the availability of postpaid or
prepaid options, subscription to Globelines comes with standard features and
value-added services such as IDD, NDD, Phone Lock, Caller ID, Call Waiting,
Multi-Calling, Call Forwarding, Voice Mail and Duplex Number.
For our wireline data services, Innove’s GlobeQUEST brand offers end-to-end
corporate data solutions including international and domestic data services,
wholesale and corporate internet access services, data center services and
segment-specific solutions customized to the needs of vertical industries.
For the full year 2005, our wireline business recorded a double-digit growth
of 14% in total wireline net operating revenues. The overall 14% growth is
attributable to growth experienced in both our voice and data segments, as well
as in our non-service revenues.
As of 31 December 2005, Innove increased its total wireline voice subscribers
by 12% to 362,143 from 323,094 in 2004. For 2005 and 2004, 62%
of total subscribers were postpaid while 38% were prepaid while business/
residential mix was 18:82 for both years.
With our growing broadband business, consumer broadband subscribers
registered a remarkable year-on-year increase of 189% to 22,479 by the end
of 2005. This is attributable to the various marketing promotions and services
launched during the third and fourth quarters of 2005 such as the GLBB PC
Bundle Promo and the Broadband Sales Blitzes.
The increase in subscribers as well as the higher traffic volume have contributed
to the 11% increase in total net service revenues in 2005. However, due
to a drop in collection rates, net and gross ARPUs have registered marginal
decreases.
Wireline Data
On the wireline data front, total operating revenues grew by a remarkable
21% to P2,112 million at year end from P1,742 million in 2004. This
strong revenue growth was driven mostly by DL (Domestic Lease Lines), IPL
(International Private Lease Lines) and corporate internet services in terms of
better bandwidth and circuit indicators.

Tariff offers were the big headline for 2005, and Globe aggressively launched
its very own program, Globe CelebRATE!. Globe subscribers were treated to
substantial text, call and IDD rate value offers in the second half of the year,
giving them, as the campaign proclaimed, “even more reasons to celebrate”.
In June 2005, Globe Prepaid offered its subscribers the most economical Globe-
to-Globe call & text rates to date, with Globe CelebRATE! pricing schemes of
P0.50 per text sent and an affordable call rate of P5.00 for the first call minute
and P2.50 per succeeding minute. This was soon followed by the Prepaid Text
Nonstop offer of 24-hour unlimited texting for P15, with a range of choices all
the way up to 10-day unlimited texting for P100. On the heels of this innovative
offer was Globe’s bulk-purchase promo of P10-for-3-minute budget Globe-to-
Globe calls. Later in the year, the Globe CelebRATE! offers were opened to Globe
postpaid subscribers as well, while Globe’s International Services weighed in with
the Budget IDD rate of US $0.20 per minute.
Globe then heralded the coming of the New Year with the introduction of its
revolutionary 10 centavos per second call rate. This new way of charging calls
answered the market’s demand for value, allowing them to budget their calls
down to the last second. The 10 centavos-per-second call rate was the pinnacle
of an exciting year of relevant tariff plays focusing on affordability and value for
money. Truly, 2005 was the year that Globe made great rates possible.
In the end, Globe CelebRATE!’s ever-growing menu of value offers exemplifies
Globe’s commitment to giving its subscribers the best deals, thus enriching the
relationships that mean most to them, keeping them constantly connected to
friends, family and business partners.
GLOBE KABABAYAN
Globe continues to dominate the burgeoning OFW market in 2005 with the
introduction of even more key services and offers for OFWs and their families
GLOBE TELECOM, INC.
back home. These include the Special IDD Rates & Rewards program, which
gives OFW family members an inexpensive and beneficial way to call their loved
ones abroad, and Exclusive Benefits & Discounts, which include substantial
markdowns at major retail outlets and institutions.
Globe Kababayan also launched the first and only Kababayan cellphone menu,
which lets subscribers browse important information about Globe Kababayan
services and offers straight from their cellphones. These are but a few of the
services lined up for Globe Kababayan, all geared towards ensuring deeper
connections between OFWs and their families, building lasting relationships no
matter how many miles separate them.
G-CASH
G-Cash, Globe’s flagship mobile commerce service, was born from a simple goal
of transforming a mobile phone into a wallet enabling Globe and TM subscribers
access to a cashless and cardless method of making money-transfers from
person to person (or from mobile phone to mobile phone) by simply sending a
text message.
From G-Cash’s initial thrust towards money-transfers, purchase of goods
and services from retail outlets, and sending and receiving domestic and
international remittances, the service, over a span of one year, created a whole
new series of creative possibilities in the field of mobile commerce. Today,
G-Cash allows Globe and TM subscribers to pay for the following using their
mobile phone’s text messaging service:
• utility bills
• interest and amortization of loans
• insurance premiums
• donations to various institutions and organizations
• sales commissions
• school tuition fees
• micro tax payments (for annual business registration)
In addition, G-Cash also tallied impressive statistics in 2005, its first full-year of
being in service. Registered subscribers have exceeded 1.2 million with over
500 partners both nationwide and abroad providing Globe and TM subscribers
access to 4,500 outlets offering the G-cash service. Locally, its merchant
partners include shopping mall chains, bookstores, drug stores, convenience
stores, universities, rural banks, cooperatives, restaurants, insurance
companies, remittance companies, pawnshops, and utility companies. G-Cash
is also already accepted across 14 countries in Asia, Middle East, Europe and
North America.
20
G-Cash has also won four prestigious awards to date. Aside from the GSM TM: ANG PINALAKAS NA TOUCH MOBILE
Association Awards in France (February 2005), G-Cash also received the Asian
Mobile News Awards in Singapore (June 2005), the Global Messaging Award
in London (June 2005), the Philippines’ very own Mobile Communications
Effectiveness Award (August 2005), and the Agora Awards for World Class
Excellence in Philippine Marketing (November 2005).

In 2006, we see Globe taking G-Cash to even greater heights. G-Cash

will continue increasing its registration base, usage among Globe and TM
subscribers, and the strengthening of its alliances with additional partner
merchants. G-Cash remains steadfast to the vision of improving the lives of
Filipinos here and abroad by providing them with a fast and easy way to do
money transfers and transactions using their mobile phones.

3G
A decade ago, Globe became the first mobile service provider to introduce GSM
technology, a move that cemented its claim as the industry’s “technology leader”.
Today, that coveted title is again being fought over. The race for 3G technology
will reach fever pitch in 2006, with competitors attempting to co-opt the title of
3G Pioneer.
But Globe aggressively took the lead in
2005, recording the very first public and
live 3G demonstrations in the Philippines,
showcasing Globe’s 3G capabilities at high-
profile events attended by top executives
from the country’s major corporations as
well as distinguished media and advertising
practitioners. In addition, Globe sponsored
the first international 3G video call to
Singapore, reuniting OFW Delia Bautista
with members of the Manila-based family
that she had not seen in eight years.
These displays proved that Globe remains
one of the pioneers in leading-edge
2005 also saw the rebirth of the Touch Mobile brand as TM, the mobile phone
service provider for the male blue-collar worker. Standing firmly on a Value For
Money proposition, it captured its chosen market with a powerful promise: TM
empowers the working man and enables him to be resourceful, maximizing every
hard-earned peso.
TM was the first brand to own the Power Piso proposition, launching a series of
value-driven Power Piso offers throughout the year: a P1 per minute call rate
after the first 2 minutes, P1 per text sent and P1 downloads.
This value message was further strengthened by TM’s strong lineup of tariff
offers: Todo Text (Unlimited texting for TM-to-TM texts), Todo Tawag 15/15
(P15 for up to 15 minutes of TM-to-TM calls), Budget IDD (US $0.20 per
minute for IDD calls to selected countries), 10 centavos-per-second TM-to-TM
calls and 75 centavos per TM-to-TM text.
The relaunch of TM has given the brand a distinct and focused market to which
it can establish stronger, more meaningful connections. The revitalized TM has
given Globe Telecom a strong foothold in the mass market - a segment that has
historically been underserved, but which now exhibits massive growth potential
and will be a key frontier in Globe’s drive for market dominance.

 GlobeSolutions Corporate Wireless
Solutions and Services
The communication requirements for top corporations are slowly growing more
complex over time. In order to compete and succeed in their chosen arenas,
corporations must be able to communicate effectively and instantly with their

and text; it includes other forms of data such as email, sharing documents,
pictures and other mission critical files. Corporations want to do more than just

instantly, manage their equipment and know where everything is located at any
given time.

We are the leader
in this broadband
revolution, a revolution
that will have three
winners: the Filipino
consumer, the
business community
and our nation.

25 ANNUAL REPORT 2005

 Innove has vowed to be at the forefront of the bandwidth
revolution, transforming the lives of the people and
organizations we serve – the individual, the community,
the entrepreneurs, the corporations, and the nation.
Contributions we make at each level affect all, growing
exponentially as the reach of each group increases in size
and scope.
OUR SERVICE TO THE INDIVIDUAL
Before the Broadband Revolution, Filipinos found it a chore
to study, to work and to live.
Now, Information and Communications Technology gives
Filipinos the gift of choice. Being disabled, too poor, too far
from school, or saddled with family obligations or full-time
jobs are no longer reasons for people not to be in school.
Without leaving his room, through the power of the Internet,
anyone can register for classes, attend, retrieve lessons,
review, take exams, chat, shop, buy books and supplies
online, publish diaries and blogs to reach out to people
regardless of age, social class or race. With a personal
computer (PC) before him and a Globelines Broadband
subscription, everything is at his fingertips.
Whether a student or a mobile professional, a Globelines
or GlobeQUEST broadband customer does not need to
lug around a PC with him wherever he goes. He can take
his Internet account with him anywhere and anytime, via
Globelines’ all-in-one Worldpass.
As a second option, he can use his mobile phone, laptop
or personal digital assistant (PDA) to log in at GlobeQUEST
Wireless Internet Zone (WiZ) hotspots in shopping malls,
residential buildings, hotels, airports, food courts, cafes,
schools, lounges and restaurants.
GLOBE TELECOM, INC.
26
GlobeQUEST WiZ has over 200 WiFi hotspot locations
throughout the Philippines. GlobeQUEST WiZ links personal
gadgets to the Internet within a 100-meter radius of an
Access Point (AP) in these establishments, for work or for
play.
GlobeQUEST WiZ allows clients to access their e-mail,
chat with friends, family and loved ones, connect to their
corporate VPN (virtual private network), watch videos, play
games and call using Voice over the Internet Protocol (VoIP).
GlobeQUEST, our corporate voice and data arm, has
partnered with Ayala Center to unwire Glorietta, Greenbelt,
Ayala Center Cebu and Alabang Town Center and make them
WiFi hotspots. Most major hotels and airports also went
wireless: Waterfront Hotels and Casinos in Lahug, Cebu City,
Holiday Inn Mimosa in Clark, Pampanga, Waterfront Hotel
in Davao, Legend Hotel in Mandaluyong, Microtel Suites in
Cavite; Lipa and Sto.Tomas, Batangas, as well as the Mactan
International Airport and Davao International Airport.
We also provide broadband-to-the-room and WiFi service to
most of the major hotels: Mandarin Oriental Hotel, Oakwood
Premiere Ayala Center, Intercontinental Hotel Manila, Dusit
Hotel Nikko, The Linden Suites, Somerset Olympia, Marriot
Cebu City, and Marco Polo Hotel in Davao.
At home, at school, or on the move, Innove offers Filipinos
not just a knowledge tool or a bridge over the digital divide,
but a vital link to people they love. That’s why your company
was the first to offer toll-free NDD (National Direct Distance)
for the whole archipelago and the cheapest (International
Direct Dial) IDD service.
Globelines, our residential and Small and Medium Enterprise
(SME) arm, charges only US$0.20 per minute for postpaid
subscribers making IDD calls to 51 countries.
Globe1 card IDD rates are lower still, at P4.50 per minute from Globelines
postpaid and prepaid lines, including payphones, to selected countries.
In Globe1, we put all the connectivity needs of an individual into a single pre-paid
PIN-based card that gives him the flexibility to choose what device to call local
or overseas, through any Globelines landline or payphone, Globe Handyphone or
Touch Mobile cellphone.
Globelines has also started offering VoIP services, allowing broadband
subscribers to make calls from their PCs to 51 countries, for just US$0.05 per
minute.
In addition, VoIP has value-added services not available on traditional telephony.
Callers can bring their phone number anywhere as long as they are connected
to the internet. They just log in to make and receive calls wherever they are.
By the end of 2005, Globelines, our consumer broadband group, had a
total wireline voice subscriber base exceeding 362 thousand and more than
22 thousand broadband customers. These numbers are expected to grow
substantially as broadband services and speed improve and prices come down.
We want to serve as many customers as possible in this area of highest growth.
OUR SERVICE TO THE COMMUNITY
We believe that corporate governance and social responsibility go together. We
are not just a provider of telecommunications services but a good corporate
citizen and a true partner in progress.
Contributions we make at
each level affect all, growing
exponentially as the reach of
each group increases in size
and scope.
27
With our core business and our core competency, we help develop our service
areas, where we empower not just the individual, but the family and the whole
community as well.
Being in a public school in a remote area, for instance, no longer places a
student at a disadvantage. Innove sees to it that he can access the worldwide
web from wherever he is.
By end 2005, we connected 402 public high schools under our Innove Internet
in Schools Program (ISP), in support of the Gearing up Internet Literacy
Access for Students (GILAS), which is a consortium of private companies and
government agencies that aims to connect the more than 5,000 public high
schools in the country within 5 years.
Volunteerism is also high in your company. Some 10% of our over 1,000
workforce have signed up for our iTeach, iCare Program.
Over a hundred of our employees participate in the iTeach, iCare program,
where they volunteer to teach computer applications and Internet skills in
public schools for at least 6 work hours per year. It has become a mutually
enriching initiative which provides an outlet for an employee’s desire to give back
to society, even as it creates goodwill, endearing Innove to the communities
it serves. Our high school student beneficiaries gain both professional and
personal knowledge, while our Innove employee volunteers practice the company
values of Balance and Teamwork.
ANNUAL REPORT 2005

OUR SERVICE TO THE EMPLOYEES
While respected institutions, like the Asian Development Bank (ADB), laud
Innove’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programs, we never forget to
recognize our own.
Every year, the Innove Leadership Awards (ILAW) commends both individuals and
teams whose consistent, outstanding and excellent performance exemplifies our
corporate values and unique brand of leadership.
Through the ILAW awards, we aspire to create a culture of excellence in our
internal community and nurture more leaders from within our ranks.
Inasmuch as charity begins at home, Innovealso takes care of its human
resources through a flexible benefits program, mychoices@innove. Launched
in November 2005, the Flexben scheme assists employees in choosing benefits
packages to suit their lifestyle, background, and financial situation.
OUR SERVICE TO ENTREPRENEURS
Innove’s broadband revolution has dramatically improved business and consumer
transactions for entrepreneurs and Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs), the
backbone of the Philippine economy.
When our Filipino youth graduates, Innove makes it easy for him to find work

and start his own business, procure and inventory his goods, outsource his
requirements, take care of his sales, marketing and back-office needs.
Our entrepreneur can simply telecommute – enabling him to accomplish much in
very little time, without shuttling between home and office, between plant sites
or branches and headquarters. He can attend conferences over the phone or
over the Internet.
The same Globelines and GlobeQUEST broadband connection that helped him
and his family as a student continues to help him as a businessman via value-
priced, high-speed data services over a modem network.
Innove grows along with its business clients. Equipped with its new nationwide
license, your company will roll out additional lines in business and residential
areas all over the Philippines in the next three years in P5-Billion internally-funded
capital expenditures.
In just a few years, we can provide universal access in unserved and
underserved areas and ensure efficient competition in local access services.
OUR SERVICE TO CORPORATIONS
Innove caters to the needs of top 5,000 Corporations, covering a significant
segment of the country’s corporate market, allowing growth in revenue from this
segment at 21% per annum.
We have services suited to each corporation’s unique requirements, the latest
of which is Visibility.
Visibility, an offering from our Enterprise Business Group (GlobeQUEST and
GlobeSolutions), allows clients to access their business anytime and anywhere,
regardless of whatever device or connection is used.
28
It was the first to successfully integrate connectivity options such as General
Packet Radio Service (GPRS), Enhanced Data for Global Evolution (EDGE),
Wireless Fidelity (WiFi), and dial-up using a single log on, under one account and
presented in an integrated bill.
The Enterprise Business Group also delivers its promise to make lives easier for
those in the hotel and in the retail industries, call centers and Business Process
Outsourcing (BPO) companies.
We continue to develop network services, Internet solutions and value-added
services, such as: managed router services, data center services and disaster
recovery systems for enterprises, wireless intranet communication, hosted
emails and applications shared infrastructure to improve the operations of
various industries in the enterprise market.
As the Philippines becomes an Information and Communications Technology
(ICT) hub, your company maintains its lead in innovation, building on its strong
network as well as its strong customer relations.
entire Asian region, creating connected digital villages, municipalities and nations
that enjoy the full capabilities of technology.
In 2006 onwards, your company expects to accomplish more, especially after
the NTC has issued our nationwide license to install landlines outside of our
service areas.
We are witnessing the early years of our broadband revolution, with great
expectations of our future. We are happy to have achieved this year’s targets
and to have become the fastest growing broadband service provider in the
country today.
We believe that three transport revolutions transformed the world. Although as
a company we are too young to be part of the first two, we take immense pride
in bringing about the last.
The first revolution was the transport of goods; the second, the transport of
people. Today, we are in the third: the transport of information.

OUR SERVICE TO THE NATION
In the end, your company connects not just people and companies. We link the
Philippines to Asia and to the rest of the world.
Our work creates an impact in the lives of our employees, in our communities,
in the way our individual or institutional customers managed their lives or
operations, and ultimately create a positive impact to society and our country.
We are the leader in this broadband revolution, a revolution that will have three
winners: the Filipino consumer, the business community and our nation.

That’s why Innove was an early mover in WiMAX (Wireless Inter-operability for
Microwave Access) in the ASEAN region. In fact, GlobeQUEST and Globelines
launched the country’s first WiMAX service through a commercial trial with Intel
in Cavite in 2005.

WiMAX provides faster broadband connectivity over longer-range distances than

WiFi and can best deliver technology to areas previously not served. It promises
to integrate not just the over 7,100 islands in our archipelago but also the

 Statement Of Management’s Responsibility

The management of GLOBE TELECOM, Inc. is responsible for all information and representations contained in the consolidated
financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2005, and 2004. The consolidated financial statements have been pre-
pared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the Philippines and reflect amounts that are based on the best
estimates and judgment of management with an appropriate consideration to materiality.

In this regard, management maintains a system of accounting and reporting which provides for the necessary internal controls to
ensure that transactions are properly authorized and recorded, assets are safeguarded against unauthorized use or disposition
and liabilities are recognized. The management likewise discloses to the Company’s Audit Committee and to its external auditors:
(i) all significant deficiencies in the design or operation of internal controls that could adversely affect its ability to record, process,
and report financial data; (ii) material weaknesses in the internal controls; and (iii) any fraud that involves management or other
employees who exercise significant roles in internal controls.

The Board of Directors reviews the financial statements before such statements are approved and submitted to the stockholders
of the Company.

SyCip Gorres Velayo & Co, the independent auditors appointed by the stockholders, have audited the consolidated financial state-
ments of the Company in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the Philippines and have expressed their opinion
on the fairness of presentation upon completion of such audit, in its report to the Stockholders and the Board of Directors.

December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in stockholders’ equity
and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the Philippines. Those standards require
that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management,
as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position
of Globe Telecom, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, and the results of their operations and their
cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the Philippines.

 On December 28, 2005, NTC approved Globe Telecom’s application for third generation (3G) radio frequency spectra to support the
upgrade of its CMTS network to be able to provide 3G services. Globe Telecom has been assigned the 10-Megahertz (MHz) of
3G radio frequency spectrum.

On August 23, 2004, Globe Telecom invested in G-Xchange, Inc. (GXI), a wholly-owned subsidiary, with the primary purpose of
developing, designing, administering, managing and operating software applications and systems, including systems designed for the
operations of bills, payment and money remittance, payment and delivery facilities through various telecommunications systems
operated by telecommunications carriers in the Philippines and throughout the world and to supply software and hardware facilities
for such purposes. GXI handles the mobile payment and remittance service using Globe Telecom’s network as transport channel
under the G-Cash brand. The service, which is integrated into the cellular services of Globe Telecom and Innove, enables easy and
convenient person-to-person fund transfers via short messaging services (SMS) and allows Globe Telecom and Innove subscribers
to easily and conveniently put cash into and get cash out of the G-Cash system. GXI started commercial operations on
October 16, 2004. GXI is a stock corporation organized under the laws of the Philippines. GXI is registered with the Bangko Sentral
ng Pilipinas as a remittance agent. GXI’s principal executive office is located at 6th Floor, Globe Telecom Plaza, Pioneer Highlands,
Pioneer corner Madison Streets, Mandaluyong City, Metropolitan Manila, Philippines.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Financial Statement Preparation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of Globe Telecom and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Innove and GXI
collectively referred to as the “Globe Group”, have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the
Philippines (Philippine GAAP), as set forth in Philippine Financial Reporting Standards (PFRS). This is Globe Group’s first annual
consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with PFRS.

The Globe Group applied PFRS 1, First-time Adoption of PFRS, in preparing the consolidated financial statements, with
January 1, 2003 as the date of transition. The Globe Group applied the accounting policies set forth below to all the years presented,
except those relating to the classification and measurement of financial instruments.

The consolidated financial statements of the Globe Group have been prepared under the historical cost convention method, except
for derivative financial instruments and available-for-sale financial assets that are measured at fair value. The carrying values of
recognized assets and liabilities that are hedged are adjusted to record changes in the fair values attributable to the risks that are
being hedged.

The consolidated financial statements of the Globe Group are presented in Philippine peso and rounded to the nearest thousands
except when otherwise indicated.

Explanation of Transition to PFRS

As stated above, these are the Globe Group’s first annual consolidated financial statements in accordance with PFRS. The transition
to PFRS resulted in certain changes to the Globe Group’s previous accounting policies. The comparative figures for 2004 and 2003
were restated to reflect the changes in accounting policies discussed below resulting from transition to PFRS, except those relating to
financial instruments. The Globe Group has made use of the exemption available under PFRS 1, and as allowed by the Securities
and Exchange Commission (SEC), to apply Philippine Accounting Standards (PAS) 32, Financial Instruments: Disclosure and
Presentation and PAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement, to financial instruments outstanding as of
January 1, 2005. The cumulative effect of adopting PAS 39 was charged to the January 1, 2005 retained earnings. The policies
applied to financial instruments beginning January 1, 2005 and prior to January 1, 2005 are disclosed separately.

45 ANNUAL REPORT 2005

 New Accounting Standards

 PFRS 1, First Time Adoption of PFRS, requires an entity to comply with each PFRS effective at the reporting date for its first
PFRS financial statements. The Globe Group has adopted PFRS for these financial statements as of and for the year ended
December 31, 2005 and has also restated the comparative amounts for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, except
for PAS 32 and PAS 39 based on the exemption provided by PFRS 1. In addition, the following courses of action have been
taken as allowed under PFRS 1:

Share-based payment transactions

The Globe Group has applied PFRS 2, Share-based Payment, only to equity-settled awards granted after November 7, 2002 that
had not vested on or before January 1, 2005, similar to the transitional provisions under PFRS 2 for equity-settled transactions.

Post retirement benefits - Defined benefit schemes

The Globe Group has chosen not to recognize using the “corridor approach” cumulative actuarial gains or losses that resulted from
the measurement of such schemes in accordance with PAS 19, Employee Benefits, at the date of transition. Instead, the Globe
Group has elected to recognize all cumulative actuarial gains and losses at the date of transition to PFRS.

 PFRS 2, Share-based Payment, sets out the measurement principles and accounting requirements for share-based payment
transactions, including transactions with employees or other parties to be settled in cash, other assets, or equity instruments of
the entity. Under this standard, the Globe Group is required to recognize in the statements of income the cost of share options
granted after November 7, 2002 that had not vested on or before January 1, 2005. Prior to January 1, 2005, the Globe Group did
not recognize any expense for share options granted but disclosed required information for such options.

The adoption of PFRS 2 decreased net income by P = 254.08 million, P

= 63.56 million and P
= 30.75 million in 2005, 2004 and 2003,
respectively. Retained earnings decreased by P = 94.31 million and P
= 30.75 million as of January 1, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
Additional paid-in capital increased by P
= 0.76 million as of January 1, 2005. Cost of share-based payment presented in the
stockholders’ equity section of the consolidated balance sheets increased by P = 193.10 million and P
= 59.09 million as of
January 1, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

 PFRS 5, Noncurrent Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations, specifies the accounting for assets held for sale and the
presentation and disclosure requirements for discontinued operations. Under this standard, qualifying noncurrent assets or
disposal groups held for sale shall be carried at fair value less cost to sell if this amount is lower than its carrying amount. The
company shall not depreciate (or amortize) noncurrent assets (or disposal groups) while classified as held for sale. Any gain or
loss on the remeasurement of a noncurrent asset (or disposal group) classified as held for sale shall be included in the profit or
loss from continuing operations.

As of December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, the Globe Group has no qualifying noncurrent assets that are held for sale.

 PAS 19, Employee Benefits, prescribes the accounting and disclosures by employers for employee benefits (including short-term
employee benefits, post-employment benefits, other long-term employee benefits and termination benefits). For post-
employment benefits classified as defined benefit plans, the standard requires: (a) the use of the projected unit credit method to
measure an entity’s obligations and costs; (b) an entity to determine the present value of defined benefit obligations and the fair
value of any plan assets with sufficient regularity; and (c) the recognition of a specific portion of net cumulative actuarial gains
and losses when the net cumulative amount exceeds 10% of the greater of the present value of the defined benefit obligation or
10% of the fair value of the plan assets, but also permits the immediate recognition of these actuarial gains and losses.

46
 The adoption of PAS 19 has decreased net income by P = 21.78 million and P= 18.12 million in 2004 and 2003, respectively, and
increased retained earnings by P
= 92.89 million, P
= 114.67 million and P= 132.79 million as of January 1, 2005, 2004 and 2003,
respectively. Pension cost and accrual of short-term benefits amounted to P = 258.32 million in 2005.

 PAS 21, The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates, eliminates the capitalization of foreign exchange differentials
related to the acquisition of property and equipment.

The adoption of PAS 21 decreased retained earnings by P= 2,443.53 million, P

= 2,739.20 million and P
= 2,463.50 million as of
January 1, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Net income increased by P = 295.67 million in 2004 and decreased by
P
= 275.69 million in 2003.

 PAS 32, Financial Instruments: Disclosure and Presentation, covers the disclosure and presentation of all financial instruments.
The standard requires more comprehensive disclosures about a company’s financial instruments, whether recognized or
unrecognized in the financial statements. New disclosure requirements include terms and conditions of financial instruments used
by the entity, types of risks associated with both recognized and unrecognized financial instruments (market risk, foreign
exchange risk, price risk, credit risk, liquidity risk and cash flow risk), fair value information of both recognized and unrecognized
financial assets and financial liabilities, and the entity’s financial risk management policies and objectives. The standard also
requires financial instruments to be classified as debt or equity in accordance with their substance and not their legal form.

The standard also requires presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities on a net basis when, and only when, an entity:
(a) currently has a legally enforceable right to set off the recognized amounts; and (b) intends either to settle on a net basis, or to
realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously (see Notes 5 and 13).

 PAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement, establishes the accounting and reporting standards for the
recognition and measurement of the entity’s financial assets and financial liabilities. When financial assets are recognized
initially, they are measured at fair value plus, in the case of investments not at fair value through profit or loss, directly
attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, an entity should measure financial assets at their fair values,
except for loans and receivables and held-to-maturity investments, which are measured at amortized cost using the effective
interest rate method. Financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost, except for liabilities classified under fair
value through profit and loss and derivatives, which are subsequently measured at fair value.

PAS 39 also establishes the accounting and reporting standards requiring that every derivative instrument (including certain
derivatives embedded in other contracts) be recorded in the balance sheets as either an asset or liability measured at its fair
value. PAS 39 requires that changes in the derivative’s fair value be recognized currently in the statements of income unless
specific hedges allow a derivative’s gains and losses to offset related results on the hedged item in the statements of income, or
deferred in the stockholders’ equity as “Cumulative translation adjustment”. PAS 39 requires that an entity must formally
document, designate and assess the effectiveness of transactions that receive hedge accounting treatment.

Derivatives that are not designated and do not qualify as hedges are adjusted to fair value through income.

The Globe Group has adopted the hedge accounting treatment of PAS 39 for certain derivative instruments.

As allowed by the SEC and PFRS 1, the adoption of PAS 39 did not result in the restatement of prior year financial statements.
The cumulative effect of adopting this accounting standard was included in the January 1, 2005 retained earnings and cumulative
translation adjustment.

47 ANNUAL REPORT 2005

 The adoption of PAS 39 decreased net income by P = 148.29 million in 2005 and increased cumulative translation adjustment
(presented as a reduction in the stockholders’ equity) by P
= 84.88 million in 2005. Retained earnings increased by
P
= 31.29 million while cumulative translation adjustment decreased by P = 151.01 million, as of January 1, 2005.

 PAS 40, Investment Property, establishes the accounting and reporting standards for investment property. Investment property is
property (land or a building or both) held (by the owner or by the lessee under a finance lease) to earn rentals or for capital
appreciation or both, rather than for: (a) use in the production or supply of goods or supply of goods or services or for
administrative purposes; or (b) sale in the ordinary course of business. Under this standard, an entity is permitted to choose either
the fair value model or cost model in the subsequent measurement of a qualifying investment property. Fair value model requires
an investment property to be measured at fair value with fair value changes recognized directly in the statements of income.
Cost model requires an investment property to be measured at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
The Globe Group adopted the cost model for investment property.

The adoption of PAS 40 resulted in reclassification of the carrying value of the portion of a building being leased to third parties
amounting to P
= 261.52 million, P
= 270.99 million and P
= 281.41 million as of January 1, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively, from
property and equipment to investment property (see Note 9).

Revised Accounting Standards

 PAS 16, Property, Plant and Equipment, (a) provides additional guidance and clarification on recognition and measurement of
items of property, plant and equipment; (b) requires the capitalization of the costs of asset dismantling, removal or restoration as
a result of either acquiring or having used the asset for purposes other than to produce inventories during the year; and
(c) requires measurement of an item of property, plant and equipment acquired in exchange for a nonmonetary asset or a
combination of monetary and nonmonetary assets at fair value, unless the exchange transaction lacks commercial substance.
Under the previous version of the standard, an entity measured such an acquired asset at fair value unless the exchanged assets
were similar.

The adoption of PAS 16 decreased net income by P = 104.13 million, P

= 71.45 million and P
= 68.05 million in 2005, 2004 and 2003,
respectively. Retained earnings decreased by P
= 258.50 million, P
= 187.05 million and P
= 118.99 million as of January 1, 2005, 2004
and 2003, respectively.

The adoption of the following revised accounting standards did not have a material effect on the Globe Group’s financial statements.
Additional disclosures required by the revised accounting standards were included in the Globe Group’s financial statements, where
applicable:

 PAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements, (a) provides the framework within which an entity assesses how to present fairly the
effects of transactions and other events; (b) provides the base criteria for classifying liabilities as current or noncurrent;
(c) prohibits the presentation of income from operating activities and extraordinary items as separate line items in the statements
of income; and (d) specifies the disclosures about key sources of estimation, uncertainty and judgments management has made
in the process of applying a company’s accounting policies (see Note 3).

 PAS 2, Inventories, reduces the alternatives for measurement of inventories by disallowing the use of the last in, first out formula.
Moreover, the revised accounting standard does not permit foreign exchange differences arising directly on the recent acquisition
of inventories invoiced in a foreign currency to be included in the cost of inventories.

 PAS 8, Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors, (a) removes the concept of fundamental errors and the
allowed alternative to retrospective application of voluntary changes in accounting policies and retrospective restatement to
correct prior period errors; (b) updates the previous hierarchy of guidance to which management refers and whose applicability it
GLOBE TELECOM, INC.

48
 considers when selecting accounting policies in the absence of standards and interpretations that specifically apply; (c) defines
material omissions or misstatements; and (d) describes how to apply the concept of materiality when applying accounting policies
and correcting errors.

 PAS 10, Events after the Balance Sheet Date, provides a limited clarification of the accounting for dividends declared after the
balance sheet date.

 PAS 17, Leases, provides a limited revision to clarify on the classification of a lease of land and buildings and prohibits
expensing of initial direct costs in the financial statements of lessors.

 PAS 24, Related Party Disclosures, provides additional guidance and clarity in the scope of the standard, the definitions and
disclosures for related parties. It also requires disclosure of the total compensation of key management personnel by benefit type
(see Note 16).

 PAS 27, Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements, reduces alternatives in accounting for investments in subsidiaries in
the separate financial statements of a parent, venturer or investor. Investments in subsidiaries will be accounted for either at cost
or in accordance with PAS 39 in the separate financial statements. Equity method of accounting will no longer be allowed in the
separate financial statements.

 PAS 28, Investments in Associates, reduces alternatives in accounting for investments in associates in the separate financial
statements of an investor. Investments in associates will be accounted for either at cost or in accordance with PAS 39 in the
separate financial statements. Equity method of accounting will no longer be allowed in the separate financial statements.

PAS 27 and 28 require strict compliance with adoption of uniform accounting policies and require the parent company/investor to
make appropriate adjustments to the subsidiary’s/associate’s financial statements to conform them to the parent
company’s/investor’s accounting policies for reporting like transactions and other events in similar circumstances.

 PAS 31, Interests in Joint Ventures, reduces the alternatives in accounting for interests in joint ventures in the separate financial
statements of a venturer. Interests in joint ventures are accounted for either at cost or in accordance with PAS 39 in the separate
financial statements. Equity method of accounting is no longer allowed in the separate financial statements.

 PAS 33, Earnings per Share, prescribes principles for the determination and presentation of earnings per share for entities with
publicly traded shares, entities in the process of issuing ordinary shares to the public, and any entities that calculate and disclose
earnings per share. This standard also provides additional guidance in computing earnings per share, including the effects of
mandatorily convertible instruments and contingently issuable shares, among others.

 PAS 36, Impairment of Assets, establishes frequency of impairment testing for certain intangibles and provides additional
guidance on the measurement of an asset’s value in use.

 PAS 38, Intangible Assets, provides additional clarification on the definition and recognition of certain intangibles. Moreover, this
revised accounting standard requires that an intangible asset with an indefinite useful life should not be amortized but will be
tested for impairment by comparing its recoverable amount with its carrying amount annually and whenever there is an indication
that the intangible asset may be impaired.

The Globe Group did not early adopt the following Standards that have been approved but are not yet effective:

 PFRS 6, Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources - This standard does not apply to the activities of the Globe Group.

 PFRS 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosures - The revised disclosure on financial instruments provided by this standard will be
included in the Globe Group’s financial statements when the standard is adopted in 2007.

Basis of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Globe Telecom, Innove and GXI. Innove’s and GXI’s
principal activities are wireless and wireline services, and software management for telecom applications, respectively.

Consolidated financial statements are prepared using uniform accounting policies for like transactions and other events in similar
circumstances. All significant intercompany balances and transactions, including intercompany profits and unrealized profits and
losses, were eliminated during consolidation in accordance with the accounting policy on consolidation.

Revenue Recognition
The Globe Group provides wireless services and wireline voice and data communication services. Wireless and wireline voice
services are provided under postpaid and prepaid arrangements while wireline data services are all under postpaid arrangement.

Revenue is recognized when the delivery of the products or services has occurred and the collectibility is reasonably assured.

Revenue is stated at amounts invoiced and accrued to customers, taking into consideration the bill cycle cut-off (for postpaid
subscribers), and charged against preloaded airtime value (for prepaid subscribers), and excludes value added tax (VAT) and
overseas communication tax.

51 ANNUAL REPORT 2005

 Revenues principally consist of: (1) airtime and toll fees for local, domestic and international long distance calls in excess of free call
allocation, less (a) bonus airtime credits, airtime on free Subscribers’ Identification Module (SIM) for SIM swap transactions and
marketing promotions credited to subscriber billings, (b) prepaid reload discounts, and (c) interconnection fees; (2) revenues from
value added services such as SMS in excess of free SMS allocation and multimedia messaging services (MMS), content
downloading and infotext services, net of interconnection fees and payout to content providers; (3) inbound revenues from other
carriers which terminate their calls to Globe Group’s network; (4) revenues from international roaming services; (5) usage of
broadband and internet services in excess of fixed monthly service fees; (6) fixed monthly service fees (for postpaid wireless and
wireline voice and data subscribers and wireless prepaid subscription fees for discounted promotional calls and SMS); (7) proceeds
from sale of handsets, phonekits, and other phone accessories; and (8) one-time registration fees (for postpaid wireless subscribers),
one-time service connection fees (for wireline voice and data subscribers), and one-time activation or upfront fees for the excess of
the selling price of SIM packs over the preloaded airtime (for prepaid subscribers).

Postpaid service arrangements include fixed monthly charges, which are recognized over the subscription period on a pro-rata basis.
Telecommunications services provided to postpaid subscribers are billed throughout the month according to the bill cycles of
subscribers. As a result of bill cycle cut-off, monthly service revenues earned but not yet billed at end of the month are estimated and
accrued. These estimates are based on actual usage less estimated free usage using historical ratio of free over billable usage.

Proceeds from the sale of prepaid cards and airtime value through over-the-air reloading services are deferred and shown as
“Unearned revenues” in the consolidated balance sheets. Revenue is recognized upon actual charging of subscription fees for
promotional discounted calls or SMS services and the actual usage of the airtime value for voice, SMS, MMS and content
downloading, and net of free service allocation and bonus reload, or upon expiration of the unused value, whichever comes earlier.

Inbound revenues and outbound charges are accrued based on actual volume of traffic monitored by the Group’s network and in the
traffic settlement system and the agreed termination rates and on revenue sharing agreement with other foreign and local carriers
and content providers. Prompt payment discounts on settlement of inbound revenues are recorded when incurred upon settlement of
accounts. Inbound revenues represent settlements recognized from telecommunications providers that sent traffic to the Globe
Group’s network, while outbound charges represent settlements to telecommunications providers for traffic originating from the Globe
Group’s network and settlements to service providers for value added contents downloaded by subscribers. Adjustments are made to
the accrued amount for discrepancies between the traffic volume per Globe Group’s records and per records of the other carriers and
content providers as these are determined and/or are mutually agreed by the parties. Uncollected inbound revenues are shown as
traffic settlements receivable under “Receivables”, while unpaid outbound charges are shown as traffic settlements payable under
“Accounts payable and accrued expenses” in the consolidated balance sheets, unless a right of offset exists.

Proceeds from sale of handsets, phonekits, SIM packs, and other phone accessories are recognized upon delivery of the item to
customers. The related costs of handsets, phonekits, SIM packs and accessories sold to customers are presented as “Cost of sales”
in the consolidated statements of income.

Lease income from operating lease is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Interest income is recognized as it accrues using effective interest rate method.

Subscriber Acquisition and Retention Costs

The related costs incurred in connection with the acquisition of subscribers are charged against current operations. Subscriber
acquisition costs primarily include commissions, handset and phonekit subsidies and marketing expenses. Handset and phonekit
subsidies represent the difference between the book value of handsets, accessories and SIM cards (included in “Cost of sales”
account), and the price offered to the subscribers (included in “Nonservice revenues” under Net operating revenues). Retention costs
for existing postpaid subscribers are in the form of free handsets and bill credits. Free handsets are charged against current
operations and included in selling, advertising and promotion expenses under “Operating costs and expenses”.
GLOBE TELECOM, INC.

52
Bill credits are deducted from operating revenues upon application against qualifying subscriber bills.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash includes cash on hand and in banks. Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to
known amounts of cash with original maturities of three months or less from dates of placements and that are subject to an
insignificant risk of changes in value.

Receivables
Receivables are recognized and carried at billable amounts less an allowance for doubtful accounts. Penalties, termination fees and
surcharges on past due accounts of postpaid subscribers are recognized as revenues upon collection. An allowance for doubtful
accounts is maintained at a level considered adequate to provide for potential uncollectible receivables. The level of this allowance is
evaluated by management on the basis of factors that affect the collectibility of the accounts. A review of the age and status of
receivables, designed to identify accounts to be provided with allowance, is performed regularly.

Customers
Full allowance is provided for receivables from permanently disconnected wireless and wireline subscribers. Permanent
disconnections are made after a series of collection steps following nonpayment by postpaid subscribers. Such permanent
disconnections generally occur within a predetermined period from statement date. Except for specific individual and corporate
wireless subscribers subjected to specific evaluation and special credit management handling, full allowance is generally
provided for active individual and corporate wireless subscribers with outstanding receivables that are past due by 90 and
120 days, respectively, and those with temporary disconnected status that are subject for termination within the succeeding
month. Full allowance is also provided for active residential and business wireline voice subscribers with outstanding receivables
that are past due by 90 and 150 days, respectively. Full allowance is likewise provided for receivables from wireline data
corporate accounts that are past due by 150 days.

Traffic Settlements
Full allowance is generally provided for the net receivable from international and national traffic carriers and roaming partners
which are not settled within 10 months and 6 months, respectively, from transaction date and after review of the status of
settlement with other carriers.

Additional provisions are made for accounts specifically identified to be doubtful of collection regardless of age of the account.

Inventories and Supplies

Inventories and supplies are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value (NRV). NRV for handsets and accessories and wireline
telephone sets is the selling price in the ordinary course of business less direct costs to sell, while NRV for SIM packs, call cards,
spare parts and supplies consists of the related replacement costs. In determining the NRV, the Globe Group considers any
adjustment necessary for obsolescence, which is provided 100% for nonmoving items for more than one year and 50% for
slow-moving items. Cost is determined using the moving average method.

Supplies of SIM packs and telephone handsets are consumed upon activation of the wireless and wireline services.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment, except land, are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation, amortization and accumulated provision for
impairment losses. Land is stated at cost less any accumulated provision for impairment losses. The cost of an item of property and
equipment includes its purchase price and any cost attributable in bringing the asset to its intended location and working condition.
Cost also includes: (a) interest and other financing charges on borrowed funds used to finance the acquisition of property and
equipment to the extent incurred during the period of installation and construction; and (b) asset retirement obligations (ARO)
specifically on property and equipment installed/constructed on leased properties.

53 ANNUAL REPORT 2005

 Subsequent costs are capitalized as part of property and equipment only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated
with the item will flow to the Globe Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are
charged against current operations as incurred.

Effective January 1, 2005, foreign exchange differentials arising from the acquisition of property and equipment are charged against
current operations and no longer capitalized. The comparative 2004 and 2003 financial statements were restated to reflect this
change in accounting policy.

Assets under construction are transferred to the related property and equipment account when the construction or installation and
related activities necessary to prepare the property and equipment for their intended use are completed, and the property and
equipment are ready for service.

Depreciation and amortization of property and equipment commences once the property and equipment are available for use and
computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives (EUL) of the assets regardless of utilization.

Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of their EUL or the corresponding lease terms.

The EUL of property and equipment are reviewed annually based on expected asset utilization as anchored on business plans and
strategies that also consider expected future technological developments and market behavior to ensure that the period of
depreciation and amortization is consistent with the expected pattern of economic benefits from items of property and equipment.

The EUL of property and equipment of the Globe Group are as follows:

Years
Telecommunications equipment:
Tower 15
Switch 10 and 15
Outside plant 10-20
Distribution dropwires 5
Cellular facilities and others 3-10
Buildings 20
Leasehold improvements 5 years or lease term, whichever is shorter
Investments in cable systems 15
Furniture, fixtures and equipment 3-5
Transportation and work equipment 2-5

When property and equipment is retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and the related accumulated depreciation and amortization
and accumulated provision for impairment losses, if any, are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is credited to
or charged against current operations.

Asset Retirement Obligations

The Globe Group is legally required under various contracts to restore leased property to its original condition and to bear the cost of
dismantling and deinstallation at the end of the contract period. The Globe Group recognizes the fair value of the liability for these
obligations and capitalizes these costs as part of the balance of the related property and equipment accounts, which are depreciated
and amortized on a straight-line basis over the useful life of the related property and equipment or the contract period, whichever is
shorter.

Investment Property
Investment property is initially measured at cost including transaction costs. Investment property is derecognized when it has either
been disposed of or permanently withdrawn from use and no future benefit is expected from its disposal. Any gain or loss on the
derecognition of an investment property is recognized in the consolidated statement of income in the year of derecognition.

Transfers are made to investment property when, and only when, there is a change in use, evidenced by the end of
owner-occupation, commencement of an operating lease to another party or by the end of construction or development. Transfers are
made from investment property when, and only when, there is a change in use, evidenced by commencement of owner-occupation or
commencement of development with a view to sell.

Depreciation of investment property is computed using the straight-line method over its useful life, regardless of utilization. The EUL
of the investment property is 15 years.

Intangible Assets
Intangible assets acquired separately are capitalized at cost. Subsequently, intangible assets are measured at cost less accumulated
amortization and provisions for impairment losses, if any. The useful lives of intangible assets with finite life are assessed at the
individual asset level. Intangible assets with finite life are amortized over their useful life. Periods and method of amortization for
intangible assets with finite useful lives are reviewed annually or earlier when an indicator of impairment exists.

Costs incurred to acquire computer software (not an integral part of its related hardware) and bring it to its intended use are
capitalized as intangible assets. These costs are amortized over the EUL of the related computer software ranging from 3 to 5 years.
Costs directly associated with the development of identifiable computer software that generate expected future benefits to the Globe
Group are recognized as intangible assets. All other costs of developing and maintaining computer software programs are recognized
as expense when incurred.

A gain or loss arising from derecognition of an intangible asset is measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and
the carrying amount of the asset and is recognized in the consolidated statements of income when the asset is derecognized.

Debt Issuance Costs

Prior to January 1, 2005, issuance, underwriting and other related expenses incurred in connection with the issuance of debt
instruments are deferred and amortized over the terms of the instruments using the straight-line method and unamortized debt
issuance costs are shown under “Other noncurrent assets” account in the consolidated balance sheets.

Effective January 1, 2005, debt issuance costs were amortized using the effective interest method and unamortized debt issuance
costs are netted against the related carrying value of the debt instrument in the consolidated balance sheets.

When the related instrument is retired, the related unamortized debt issuance costs at the date of retirement are charged against
current operations.

Investments in Associates, Joint Venture and Others

Investments are accounted for under the equity method. An associate is an entity in which the Globe Group has a significant
influence and which is neither a subsidiary nor a joint venture (JV). A JV is an entity not being a subsidiary nor an associate in which
the Globe Group exercises joint control together with one or more venturers.

Under the equity method, the investments in associates and JV are carried in the consolidated balance sheets at cost plus
post-acquisition changes in the Globe Group’s share of net assets of the associates and JV, less any accumulated impairment in
value. The consolidated statements of income reflect the share of the results of operations of the associates and JV. Where there has

55 ANNUAL REPORT 2005

 been a change recognized directly in the associates’ equity, the Globe Group recognizes its share of any changes and discloses this,
when applicable, in the consolidated statements of changes in equity.

Other investments include shares of stock where the Globe Group’s ownership interest is less than 20% or where control is likely to
be temporary. These are initially recognized at cost, being the fair value of the consideration given and including acquisition charges
associated with the investments. Gains or losses on these investments are recognized directly in equity, through the statement of
changes in stockholders’ equity. When the investment is derecognized, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in equity is
recognized in the consolidated statements of income.

Impairment of Assets
An assessment is made at the balance sheet date to determine whether there is any indication that the asset may be impaired, or
whether there is any indication that an impairment loss previously recognized for an asset in prior years may no longer exist or may
have decreased. If any such indication exists and when the carrying value of an assets exceeds its estimated recoverable amount,
the asset or cash generating unit to which the asset belongs is written down to its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of an
asset is the greater of its net selling price and value in use. An impairment loss is recognized only if the carrying amount of an asset
exceeds its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is charged against operations in the year in which it arises. A previously
recognized impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in estimate used to determine the recoverable amount of an
asset, however, not to an amount higher than the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of any accumulated
depreciation and amortization for property and equipment) had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years. A
reversal of an impairment loss is credited to current operations.

For the Globe Group, the cash-generating unit for purposes of impairment assessment of property and equipment is the combined
wireless and wireline asset groups of Globe Telecom and Innove. This asset grouping is predicated upon the requirement contained
in Executive Order (EO) No. 109 and RA No. 7925 requiring licensees of CMTS and IGF services to provide 400,000 and
300,000 LEC lines, respectively, as a condition for the grant of such licenses.

Treasury Stock
Treasury stock is recorded at cost and is presented as a deduction from equity. When the shares are retired, the capital stock account
is reduced by its par value. The excess of cost over par value upon retirement is debited to the following accounts in the order given:
(a) additional paid-in capital to the extent of the specific or average additional paid-in capital when the shares were issued, and
(b) retained earnings.

Income Taxes
Deferred income tax is provided using the balance sheet liability method on all temporary differences, with certain exceptions, at
balance sheet date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.

Deferred income tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences, with certain exceptions. Deferred income tax
assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences and carryforward benefit of unused tax credits from excess minimum
corporate income tax (MCIT) over regular corporate income tax and net operating loss carryover (NOLCO) to the extent that it is
probable that taxable income will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and the carryforward benefit of
unused MCIT and NOLCO can be used.

Deferred income tax is not recognized when it arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a
business combination and, at the time of transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income
tax liabilities are not provided on nontaxable temporary differences associated with investment in a domestic associate. The carrying
amounts of deferred income tax assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer
probable that sufficient taxable income will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax assets to be utilized.
GLOBE TELECOM, INC.

56
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rate that is expected to apply in the year when the asset is realized
or the liability is settled based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted as of balance sheet date.

Provisions
A provision is recognized only when the Globe Group has: (a) a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event;
(b) it is probable (i.e., more likely than not) that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the
obligation; and (c) a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Provisions are reviewed at each balance sheet
date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are determined
by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessment of the time value of money
and, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage
of time is recognized as an interest expense.

Share-based Payment Transactions

Certain employees (including directors) of the Globe Group receive remuneration in the form of share-based payment transactions,
whereby employees render services in exchange for shares or rights over shares (‘equity-settled transactions’) (see Note 18).

The cost of equity-settled transactions with employees is measured by reference to the fair value at the date at which they are
granted. In valuing equity-settled transactions, vesting conditions, including performance conditions, other than market conditions
(conditions linked to share prices), shall not be taken into account when estimating the fair value of the shares or share options at the
measurement date. Instead, vesting conditions are taken into account in estimating the number of equity instruments that will vest.

The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognized in the consolidated statements of income, together with a corresponding
increase in equity, over the period in which the service conditions are fulfilled, ending on the date on which the relevant employees
become fully entitled to the award (‘vesting date’). The cumulative expense recognized for equity-settled transactions at each
reporting date until the vesting date reflects the extent to which the vesting period has expired and the number of awards that, in the
opinion of the management of the Globe Group at that date, based on the best available estimate of the number of equity
instruments, will ultimately vest.

No expense is recognized for awards that do not ultimately vest, except for awards where vesting is conditional upon a market
condition, which are treated as vesting irrespective of whether or not the market condition is satisfied, provided that all other
performance conditions are satisfied.

Where the terms of an equity-settled award are modified, as a minimum, an expense is recognized as if the terms had not been
modified. In addition, an expense is recognized for any increase in the value of the transaction as a result of the modification,
measured at the date of modification.

Where an equity-settled award is cancelled, it is treated as if it had vested on the date of cancellation, and any expense not yet
recognized for the award is recognized immediately. However, if a new award is substituted for the cancelled award, and designated
as a replacement award on the date that it is granted, the cancelled and new awards are treated as if they were a modification of the
original award, as described in the previous paragraph.

The dilutive effect of outstanding options is reflected as additional share dilution in the computation of earnings per share
(see Note 24).

The Globe Group has taken the advantage of the transitional provision of PFRS 2 in respect of equity-settled awards and has applied
PFRS 2 only to equity-settled awards granted after November 7, 2002 that had not vested on January 1, 2005. For equity-settled
awards granted on or before November 7, 2002, the Globe Group did not recognize any expense but disclosed
information for such options.

57 ANNUAL REPORT 2005

 Pension Cost
Pension cost is actuarially determined using the projected unit credit method. This method reflects services rendered by employees
up to the date of valuation and incorporates assumptions concerning employees’ projected salaries. Actuarial valuations are
conducted with sufficient regularity, with option to accelerate when significant changes to underlying assumptions occur. Pension cost
includes current service cost, interest cost, expected return on any plan assets, actuarial gains and losses, past service cost and the
effect of any curtailment or settlement.

The net pension asset recognized by the Globe Group in respect of the defined benefit pension plan is the lower of: (a) the fair value
of the plan assets less the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the balance sheet date, together with adjustments for
unrecognized actuarial gains or losses and past service costs that shall be recognized in later periods; or (b) the total of any
cumulative unrecognized net actuarial losses and past service cost and the present value of any economic benefits available in the
form of refunds from the plan or reductions in future contributions to the plan. The defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by
independent actuary using the projected unit credit method. The present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined by
discounting the estimated future cash outflows using risk-free interest rates of government bonds that have terms to maturity
approximating the terms of the related pension liabilities.

In accordance with PFRS 1, the effect of change in accounting policy includes all cumulative actuarial gains and losses at the date of
transition to PFRS. In subsequent periods, a portion of actuarial gains and losses is recognized as income or expense if the
cumulative unrecognized actuarial gains and losses at the end of the previous reporting period exceeded the greater of 10% of the
present value of defined benefit obligation or 10% of the fair value of plan assets. These gains and losses are recognized over the
expected average remaining working lives of the employees participating in the plans.

Borrowing Costs
Interest and other related financing charges on borrowed funds used to finance the acquisition of property and equipment to the
extent incurred during the period of installation are capitalized as part of the cost of property and equipment. The capitalization of
borrowing costs as part of the cost of an item of property and equipment: (a) commences when the expenditures and borrowing costs
being incurred during the installation and related activities necessary to prepare the item of property and equipment for its intended
use are in progress; (b) is suspended during extended periods in which active development is interrupted; and (c) ceases when
substantially all the activities necessary to prepare the item of property and equipment for its intended use are completed. These
costs are amortized using the straight-line method over the EUL of the related property and equipment.

Other borrowing costs are recognized as expense in the period in which these are incurred.

Premiums on long-term debt are included in “Long-term debt” account in the consolidated balance sheets and are amortized using
the effective interest rate method.

Leases
Finance leases, which transfer to the Globe Group substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to ownership of the leased item,
are capitalized at the inception of the lease at the lower of the value of the leased property and the present value of the minimum
lease payments. Lease payments are apportioned between finance charges and reduction of the lease liability so as to achieve a
constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance charges are charged directly against current operations.

Capitalized leased assets are depreciated over the shorter of the EUL of the assets or the corresponding lease terms.

Leases where the lessor retains substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of the asset are classified as operating leases.
Operating lease collection or payment is recognized in the consolidated statements of income on a straight-line basis over the lease
terms.
GLOBE TELECOM, INC.

58
Advertising Expenses
Advertising expenses are charged against current operations as incurred.

Foreign Currency Transactions

The functional and presentation currency of the Globe Group is the Philippine Peso. Transactions denominated in foreign currencies
are recorded in Philippine Peso based on the exchange rates prevailing at the transaction dates. Foreign currency-denominated
monetary assets and liabilities are translated to Philippine Peso at the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Foreign
exchange differentials between rate at transaction date, and rate at settlement date or balance sheet date of foreign
currency-denominated monetary assets or liabilities are credited to or charged against current operations.

Financial Instruments

Accounting Policies Effective January 1, 2005

Financial instruments are recognized initially at fair value of the consideration given (in the case of an asset) or received (in the case
of a liability). The fair values of the consideration given or received are determined by reference to the transaction price or other
market prices. If such market prices are not reliably determinable, the fair value of the consideration is estimated as the sum of all
future cash payments or receipts, discounted using the prevailing market rates of interest for similar instruments with similar
maturities. The initial measurement of financial instruments, except for those designated at fair value through profit or loss, includes
transaction costs.

Financial instruments are recognized in the consolidated balance sheets when the Globe Group becomes a party to the contractual
provisions of the instrument. Financial assets are derecognized either when the Globe Group has transferred substantially all the
risks and rewards of ownership or when it has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership but
it no longer has control over the financial assets. Financial liabilities are derecognized when the obligation is extinguished.

The subsequent measurement bases for financial instruments depend on classification. Financial instruments that are classified as
held-to-maturity, loans and receivables, and financial liabilities other than liabilities measured at fair value through profit and loss are
measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. Investments are classified as held-to-maturity when those are
nonderivatives with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity that the Globe Group has positive intention and ability to hold
to maturity. Investments to be held for an undefined period are not included in this classification. Amortized cost is calculated by
taking into account any discount, premium and transaction costs on acquisition, over the year to maturity. Amortizations of discounts,
premiums and transaction costs are taken directly to the consolidated statements of income. For investments carried at amortized
cost, gains and losses are recognized in income when the investments are derecognized or impaired, as well as through the
amortization process.

Changes in the fair value of financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value of: (a) all derivatives (except those eligible for
hedge accounting); (b) other items that are held for trading; and (c) any item designated as held “at fair value through profit and loss”
at origination, are taken directly to the consolidated statements of income. Changes in the fair value of investments classified as
available-for-sale securities are recognized in equity, except for the foreign exchange fluctuations on available-for-sale debt
securities and the related effective interest which are taken directly to the consolidated statements of income. These changes in fair
values are recognized in equity until the investment is sold, collected or otherwise disposed of, or until the investment is determined
to be impaired, at which time the cumulative gain or loss previously reported in equity is included in the consolidated statements of
income.

Financial assets and liabilities include financial instruments which may be a non-derivative instrument, such as receivables, payables
and equity securities, or a derivative instrument, such as financial options, forwards and swaps.

59 ANNUAL REPORT 2005

 The Globe Group enters into short-term deliverable and non-deliverable currency forward contracts to manage its exchange
exposure related to short-term foreign currency-denominated monetary assets and liabilities. The Globe Group also enters into
structured currency forward contracts where call options are sold in combination with such currency forward contracts.

The Globe Group enters into deliverable prepaid forward contracts that entitle the Globe Group to a discount on the contracted
forward rate. Such contracts contain embedded currency derivatives that are bifurcated and marked-to-market through earnings, with
the host debt instrument being accreted to its face value.

The Globe Group enters into short-term interest rate swap contracts to manage its interest rate exposures on certain short-term
floating rate peso investments. The parent company also enters into long-term currency and interest rate swap contracts to manage
its foreign currency and interest rate exposures arising from its long-term loan. Such swap contracts are sometimes entered into in
combination with options. The Globe Group also sells currency options as cost subsidy for outstanding currency swap contracts.

Derivative financial instruments are recognized and measured in the consolidated balance sheets at fair values. The method of
recognizing the resulting gain or loss depends on whether the derivative is designated as a hedge of an identified risk and qualifies
for hedge accounting treatment. The objective of hedge accounting is to match the impact of the hedged item and the hedging
instrument in the consolidated statements of income. To qualify for hedge accounting, the hedging relationship must comply with
strict requirements such as the designation of the derivative of an identified risk exposure, hedge documentation, probability of
occurrence of the forecasted transaction in a cash flow hedge, assessment and measurement of hedge effectiveness, and reliability
of the measurement bases of the derivative instruments.

Upon inception of the hedge, the Globe Group documents the relationship between the hedging instrument and the hedged item, its
risk management objective and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions, and the details of the hedging instrument and
the hedged item. The Globe Group also documents its hedge effectiveness assessment methodology, both at the hedge inception
and on an ongoing basis, as to whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes
in fair values or cash flows of hedged items. Hedge effectiveness is likewise measured, with any ineffectiveness being reported
immediately in the consolidated statements of income.

The Globe Group designates derivatives which qualify as accounting hedges as either: (a) a hedge of the fair value of a recognized
fixed rate asset, liability or unrecognized firm commitment (fair value hedge); or (b) a hedge of the cash flow variability of recognized
floating rate asset and liability or forecasted transaction (cash flow hedge).

Fair Value Hedges

Fair value hedges are hedges of the exposure to variability in the fair value of recognized assets, liabilities or unrecognized firm
commitments. The gain or loss on a derivative instrument designated and qualifying as a fair value hedge as well as the offsetting
loss or gain on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized currently in the consolidated statements of income in
the same accounting period. Hedge effectiveness is determined based on the hedge ratio of the fair value changes of the hedging
instrument and the underlying hedged item. When the hedge ceases to be highly effective, hedge accounting is discontinued.

As of December 31, 2005, there were no derivatives designated and accounted for as fair value hedges.

Cash Flow Hedges

The Globe Group designates as cash flow hedges the following derivatives: (a) certain floating-to-fixed cross currency swaps as cash
flow hedges of both the currency and interest rate risks of the floating rate foreign currency-denominated obligations; (b) certain
principal only swaps and fixed-to-fixed cross currency swaps as cash flow hedges of the currency risk of certain fixed rate foreign
currency denominated obligations; and, (c) interest rate swap as cash flow hedge of the interest rate risk of a floating rate foreign
currency-denominated obligation.
GLOBE TELECOM, INC.

60
A cash flow hedge is a hedge of the exposure to variability in future cash flows related to a recognized asset, liability or a forecasted
transaction. Changes in the fair value of a hedging instrument that qualifies as a highly effective cash flow hedge are recognized in
“Cumulative translation adjustment,” which is a component of stockholders’ equity. Any hedge ineffectiveness is immediately
recognized in the consolidated statements of income.

Where the forecasted transaction result in the recognition of an asset or liability, the gains and losses previously included in
“Cumulative translation adjustment” are included in the initial measurement of the asset or liability. Otherwise, amounts recorded in
equity are transferred to the consolidated statements of income in the same period in which the forecasted transaction affects the
consolidated statements of income.

Hedge accounting is discontinued prospectively when the hedge ceases to be highly effective. When hedge accounting is
discontinued, the cumulative gain or loss on the hedging instrument that has been reported in “Cumulative translation adjustment” is
retained in the stockholders’ equity until the hedged transaction impacts earnings. When the forecasted transaction is no longer
expected to occur, any net cumulative gain or loss previously reported in “Cumulative translation adjustment” is recognized
immediately in the consolidated statements of income.

Other Derivative Instruments Not Accounted for as Hedges

Certain freestanding derivative instruments that provide economic hedges under Globe Group’s policies either do not qualify for
hedge accounting or are not designated as accounting hedges. Changes in the fair values of derivative instruments not designated
as hedges are recognized immediately in the consolidated statements of income.

For bifurcated embedded derivatives that are not designated or do not qualify as hedges, changes in the fair values of such
transactions are recognized in the consolidated statements of income.

Accounting Policies Prior to January 1, 2005

Translation gains or losses on currency forward and swap contracts are computed by multiplying the notional amounts by the
difference between the exchange spot rates prevailing at the balance sheet date and the exchange spot rates at the contract
inception date (or the last reporting date). The resulting translation gains or losses on the currency forward and swap contracts are
offset against the translation losses or gains on the underlying foreign currency-denominated monetary assets and liabilities. The
related revaluation amounts on the translation of currency forward and currency swap contracts are included in “Other noncurrent
assets” account in the consolidated balance sheets, including the carrying amounts of forward premiums or discounts which are
amortized over the term of the related contracts. Swap costs accruing on long-term currency and interest rate swap contracts that are
currently due to or from the swap counterparties are charged against current operations.

The mark-to-market gains or losses on these contracts as well as the other types of derivative contracts are not considered in the
determination of consolidated net income but are disclosed in the related notes to the consolidated financial statements.

Impairment of financial assets

The Globe Group assesses at each balance sheet date whether a financial or group of financial assets is impaired.

Assets carried at amortized cost

If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on financial assets carried at amortized cost has been incurred, the amount
of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash
flows discounted at the asset’s original effective interest rate. The carrying amount of the asset shall be reduced either directly or
through use of an allowance account. The amount of the loss shall be recognized in the statements of income.

The Globe Group first assesses whether objective evidence of impairment exists individually for financial assets that are
individually significant, and individually or collectively for financial assets that are not individually significant. If it is determined
that no objective evidence of impairment exist for an individually assessed financial asset, whether significant or not, the asset is

61 ANNUAL REPORT 2005

 included in a group of financial asset with similar credit risk characteristics and that group of financial assets is collectively
assessed for impairment. Assets that are individually assessed for impairment and for which an impairment loss is or continues to
be recognized are not included in a collective assessment of impairment.

If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event
occurring after the impairment was recognized, the previously recognized impairment loss is reversed. Any subsequent reversal
of an impairment loss is recognized in the statements of income, to the extent that the carrying value of the asset does not
exceed its amortized cost at the reversal date.

Asset carried at cost

If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on an unquoted equity instrument that is not carried at fair value because
its fair value cannot be reliably measured, or on a derivative asset that is linked to and must be settled by delivery of such
unquoted equity instrument has been incurred, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying
amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the current market rate of return for a similar financial
asset.

Available-for-sale financial asset

If an available-for-sale asset is impaired, an amount comprising the difference between its cost and its current fair value, less any
impairment loss previously recognized in statements of income, is transferred from equity to the statements of income. Reversals
in respect of equity instruments classified as available-for-sale are not recognized in profit. Reversals of impairment losses on
debt instruments are reversed through profit or loss, if the increase in fair value of the instrument can be objectively related to an
event occurring after the impairment loss was recognized in profit or loss.

Earnings Per Share (EPS)

Basic EPS is computed by dividing earnings applicable to common stock by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding, after giving retroactive effect for any stock dividends, stock splits or reverse stock splits during the year.

Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year,
after giving retroactive effect for any stock dividends, stock splits or reverse stock splits during the year, and adjusted for the effect of
dilutive options and dilutive convertible preferred shares. Outstanding stock options will have a dilutive effect under the treasury
stock method only when the average market price of the underlying common share during the period exceeds the exercise price of
the option. If the required dividends to be declared on convertible preferred shares divided by the number of equivalent common
shares, assuming such shares are converted, would decrease the basic EPS, then such convertible preferred shares would be
deemed dilutive. Where the effect of the assumed conversion of the preferred shares and the exercise of all outstanding options
have anti-dilutive effect, basic and diluted EPS are stated at the same amount.

Segment Reporting
The Globe Group’s major operating business units are the basis upon which the Globe Group reports its primary segment
information. In 2005, the Globe Group started monitoring its wireline voice and data businesses as one major converged service with
similar risks and returns. The Globe Group’s business segments consist of: (1) wireless communication services and (2) wireline
communication services. The Globe Group generally accounts for inter-segment revenues and expenses at agreed transfer prices.

Contingencies
Contingent liabilities are not recognized in the consolidated financial statements. These are disclosed unless the possibility of an
outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is remote. Contingent assets are not recognized in the consolidated financial
statements but are disclosed when an inflow of economic benefits is probable.
GLOBE TELECOM, INC.

62
 Subsequent Events
Any post year-end event up to the date of approval of the Board of Directors (BOD) of the consolidated financial statements that
provides additional information about the Globe Group’s position at balance sheet date (adjusting event) is reflected in the
consolidated financial statements. Any post year-end event that is not an adjusting event is disclosed in the notes to the consolidated
financial statements when material.

3. Management’s Use of Estimates

The preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements in conformity with Philippine GAAP requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.
The estimates and assumptions used in the accompanying consolidated financial statements are based upon management’s
evaluation of relevant facts and circumstances as of the date of the consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from
such estimates.

PAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements, which was adopted by the Globe Group effective January 1, 2005, requires disclosures
about key sources of estimation, uncertainty and judgments management has made in the process of applying accounting policies.
The following presents a summary of these significant estimates and judgments:

Estimated allowance for doubtful accounts

The Globe Group maintains allowances for doubtful accounts at a level considered adequate to provide for potential uncollectible
receivables. The level of this allowance is evaluated by management on the basis of factors that affect the collectibility of the
accounts. These factors include, but are not limited to, the length of the Group’s relationship with the customer, the customer’s
payment behavior and known market factors. The Globe Group reviews the age and status of receivables, and identifies accounts
that are to be provided with allowances on a continuous basis.

The amount and timing of recorded expenses for any period would differ if the Globe Group made different judgments or utilized
different estimates. An increase in allowance for doubtful accounts would increase the recorded operating expenses and decrease
current assets.

Provision for doubtful accounts amounted to P= 615.73 million, P

= 1,052.22 million and P
= 940.75 million in 2005, 2004 and 2003,
respectively. Receivables, net of allowance for doubtful accounts, amounted to P = 6,764.13 million, P

P
= 7,760.69 million as of December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively (see Note 5).

Estimating asset retirement obligations

The Globe Group is legally required under various contracts to restore leased property to its original condition and to bear the costs of
dismantling and deinstallation at the end of the contract period. These costs are accrued based on in-house an estimate, which
incorporates estimates of asset retirement costs, third party margins and interest rates. The Globe Group recognizes the fair value of
the liability for these obligations and capitalizes the present value of these costs as part of the balance of the related property and
equipment accounts, which are being depreciated and amortized on a straight-line basis over the useful life of the related asset. The
market risk premium was excluded from the estimate of the fair value of the ARO because a reasonable and reliable estimate of the
market risk premium is not obtainable. Since a market risk premium is unavailable, fair value is assumed to be the present value of
the obligations. The fair value and present value of dismantling costs is computed based on an average credit adjusted risk free rate
of 14.62%. Assumptions used to compute ARO are reviewed and updated annually.

The amount and timing of recorded expenses for any period would differ if different judgments were made or different estimates were
utilized. An increase in ARO would increase recorded operating expenses and increase noncurrent liabilities.

63 ANNUAL REPORT 2005

 As of December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, ARO has a carrying value of P
= 907.05 million, P
= 769.80 million and P
= 519.31 million,
respectively (see Note 15).

Estimated useful lives of property and equipment, intangible assets and investment property
Globe Group reviews annually the estimated useful lives of property and equipment, intangible assets and investment property based
on expected asset utilization as anchored on business plans and strategies that also consider expected future technological
developments and market behavior. It is possible that future results of operations could be materially affected by changes in these
estimates brought about by changes in the factors mentioned. A reduction in the EUL of property and equipment, intangible assets
and investment property would increase the recorded depreciation and amortization expense and decrease noncurrent assets.

As of December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, property and equipment, intangible assets and investment property amounted to
P
= 99,914.94 million, P
= 102,849.37 million and P
= 95,945.63 million, respectively (see Notes 8, 9 and 10).

Asset impairment
Globe Group assesses impairment on assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an
asset may not be recoverable. The factors that Globe Group considers important which could trigger an impairment review include
the following:

 significant underperformance relative to expected historical or projected future operating results;

 significant changes in the manner of use of the acquired assets or the strategy for overall business; and
 significant negative industry or economic trends.

An impairment loss is recognized whenever the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable
amount is the higher of an asset’s net selling price and value in use. The net selling price is the amount obtainable from the sale of
an asset in an arm’s length transaction while value in use is the present value of estimated future cash flows expected to arise from
the continuing use of an asset and from its disposal at the end of its useful life. Recoverable amounts are estimated for individual
assets or, if it is not possible, for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. For impairment loss on specific assets, the
recoverable amount represents the net selling price.

In determining the present value of estimated future cash flows expected to be generated from the continued use of the assets,
Globe Group is required to make estimates and assumptions that can materially affect the consolidated financial statements.

The carrying value of property and equipment, investment property, intangible assets and investment in subsidiaries, associates, joint
ventures and others amounted to P= 99,991.83 million, P
= 102,941.30 million and P
= 96,673.35 million as of December 31, 2005, 2004
and 2003, respectively, (see Notes 8, 9, 10 and 11).

Deferred income tax assets

Globe Group reviews the carrying amounts of deferred income tax assets at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that
it is no longer probable that sufficient income will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax assets to be utilized.
However, there is no assurance that Globe Group will generate sufficient taxable profit to allow all or part of its deferred income tax
assets to be utilized.

As of December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, Innove has net deferred income tax assets of P = 1,163.94 million, P
= 2,413.25 million and
P
= 1,759.41 million, respectively, while Globe Telecom has net deferred income tax liabilities of P
= 4,432.87 million, P
= 3,474.73 million
and P= 1,874.08 million, respectively. Globe Telecom and Innove has no unrecognized deferred income tax assets as of
December 31, 2005. GXI has not recognized deferred income tax assets on its net operating loss carry over.

 Financial assets and liabilities
Globe Group carries certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value, which requires extensive use of accounting estimates and
judgment. While significant components of fair value measurement were determined using verifiable objective evidence (i.e., foreign
exchange rates, interest rates, volatility rates), the amount of changes in fair value would differ if the Globe Group utilized different
valuation methodologies. Any changes in fair value of these financial assets and liabilities would affect profit and loss and equity.

Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair values as of December 31, 2005 amounted to P
= 1,548.89 million and P
= 731.75 million,
respectively (see Note 25).

Pension and other employee benefits

The determination of the obligation and cost of pension and other employee benefits is dependent on the selection of certain
assumptions used in calculating such amounts. Those assumptions include, among others, discount rates, expected returns on plan
assets and salary increase rates and price, and projected dividend yields, risk free interest rate and volatility rate, for the retirement
of pension and cost of share-based payments, respectively (see Note 18). In accordance with Philippine GAAP, actual results that
differ from the Globe Group’s assumptions, subject to the 10% corridor test, are accumulated and amortized over future periods and
therefore, generally affect the recognized expense and recorded obligation in such future periods.

While the Globe Group believes that the assumptions are reasonable and appropriate, significant differences between actual
experiences and assumptions may materially affect the cost of employee benefits and related obligations.

As of December 31, 2005 and 2004, Globe Telecom has unrecognized actuarial gains of P = 35.39 million and P
= 31.42 million,
respectively, while unrecognized actuarial losses for 2003 amounted to P = 75.33 million. Innove’s unrecognized actuarial gains
amounted to P = 118.20 million, P
= 74.04 million and P
= 17.17 million as of December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively
(see Note 18).

The Globe Group also estimates other employee benefit obligations and expenses, including costs of paid leaves based on historical
leave availments of employees, subject to the Globe Group’s policy. These estimates may vary depending on the future changes in
salaries and actual experiences during the year.

The accrued balance of other employee benefits as of December 31, 2005 amounted to P
= 217.26 million.

Contingencies
Globe Telecom and Innove are currently involved in various legal proceedings. The estimate of the probable costs for the resolution
of these claims has been developed in consultation with outside counsel handling the companies’ defense in these matters and is
based upon an analysis of potential results. Globe Telecom and Innove currently do not believe that these proceedings will have a
material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position. It is possible, however, that future results of operations could be
materially affected by changes in the estimates or in the effectiveness of the strategies relating to these proceedings (see Note 23).

4. Integration of Wireline Business

On August 7, 2003, the NTC approved the legal rights transfer of Globe Telecom’s wireline business authorizations, properties,
assets and obligations to Innove. In September 2003, pursuant to the approval granted by the NTC, Globe Telecom’s wireline voice
and data assets and liabilities were transferred to Innove and the wireline business of Globe Group was integrated into Innove. On
June 30, 2004 and November 30, 2005, Globe Telecom transferred additional wireline assets and certain investments in cable
systems to Innove. On a consolidated basis, the transfers had no impact on net revenues, EBITDA [earnings before interest, income
tax, depreciation and amortization and other income (expense)] and net income. Innove remains a wholly-owned subsidiary of Globe
Telecom.

65 ANNUAL REPORT 2005

 The transfer of the wireline business of Globe Telecom to Innove is part of the Globe Group’s operational integration activities to
achieve increased focus and streamlined operations. The integrated and focused wireline operations signal the Globe Group’s
commitment to innovation, customer focus and operational excellence.

Investments in cable systems include the cost of Globe Group’s ownership share in the capacity of certain cable systems under a
joint venture or a consortium or private cable set-up and indefeasible rights of use (IRUs) of circuits in various cable systems. It also
includes the cost of cable landing station and transmission facilities where Globe Group is the landing party (see Note 16).

In 2004, as a result of periodic review of the EUL and depreciation and amortization methods of items of property and equipment,
management came to the conclusion that there has been a significant change in the expected pattern of economic benefits from
certain telecommunications equipment and investments in cable systems. Globe Group revised the EUL of certain switch equipment
from 15 to 10 years and investments in cable systems from 20 to 15 years.

In addition, Globe Group revised the remaining EUL of certain telecommunications equipment, which are specifically identified to be
useful for specific periods shorter than the previous EUL. These changes have been accounted for as changes in accounting
estimates. The changes increased depreciation expense by about P = 1,618.27 million or P
= 11.26 reduction in basic earnings per share,
before related income taxes in 2004.

As discussed in Note 2, the Globe Group adopted PAS 16 beginning January 1, 2005. It requires the capitalization of the costs of
dismantling and restoration of the leased property at the end of the leased term. Additional capitalized ARO in 2005, 2004 and 2003
amounted to P= 44.43 million P
= 182.36 million and P
= 70.26 million, respectively (see Notes 15 and 27).

In 2005, 2004 and 2003, total capitalized borrowing costs amounted to P = 123.56 million, P
= 203.55 million and P
= 704.31 million
(including capitalized interest of P
= 111.34 million, P
= 77.67 million and P
= 557.40 million), respectively.

Losses on Property and Equipment

In 2005, the Globe Group recognized losses on retirement on certain property and equipment of P= 733.82 million as a result of
impairment reviews and reconciliation exercise based on the recent count activity. The Globe Group used the net selling price to
determine the recoverable amount for specific assets.

Globe Telecom also provided for impairment of certain assets amounting to P

= 191.95 million net of reversals. These assets are
expected to be no longer usable when Globe Telecom upgrades its network in 2006.

Investment in GTHI
GTHI is a special purpose vehicle incorporated in the Philippines, owned 32.67% each by Globe Telecom and Ayala Corporation
(AC), 33% by Singapore Telecom International Pte. Ltd. (STI) [a wholly owned subsidiary of Singapore Telecom (ST)], and 1.66% by
its directors and officers. On December 26, 2002, GTHI, having completed and concluded its only business activity, related to
Philippine Deposit Receipts (PDR), filed with the Philippine SEC a request for the revocation of its permit to sell PDRs. On
December 8, 2003, the Philippine SEC approved the revocation of the Order of Registration and Certificate of Permit to Sell
Securities to the Public issued to GTHI. On December 15, 2004, the BOD of GTHI approved the dissolution of GTHI, which was
subsequently approved by the Philippine SEC on December 13, 2005.

Investment in PTL
PTL is a limited partnership organized in the United States (US) which Globe Telecom has a 50% ownership. On October 19, 2000,
the BOD approved a resolution to seek the dissolution of PTL and the termination of Globe Telecom’s Limited Liability Agreement
with Pacific Gateway Exchange (PGE) and other agreements with PGE and/or PTL. On January 17, 2001, PGE gave its consent to
the dissolution of PTL. The dissolution has not been effected in order to enable PTL to file its Proof of Claim against PGE before the
US Bankruptcy Court, District Court of California (San Francisco Division) to recover US$5.39 million of receivables from PGE. The
Proof of Claim was filed on May 11, 2001. However, on December 27, 2002, the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors of PGE
(Committee) filed a complaint for recovery of money/property against PTL and Globe Telecom alleging that PGE made preferred
transfers in favor of PTL and Globe Telecom prior to the filing of the bankruptcy proceedings. PTL and Globe Telecom filed their
respective answers alleging that the payments were part of a contemporaneous exchange of new value. Thereafter, PTL, Globe
Telecom and Committee agreed to settle the dispute with a mutual release of claims. On December 17, 2004, the US Bankruptcy
Court for the Northern District of California approved the settlement agreement among the parties. PTL has not been operating since
2000 and its status is deemed administratively cancelled as of December 31, 2005.

 Investment in C2C Holdings, Pte. Ltd. (C2C Holdings)
Innove has a 4.25% ownership in C2C Holdings consisting of 20 million Class A common shares at an acquisition cost of
P
= 894.55 million. C2C Holdings is the holding company for the equity investments of all the cable landing parties in C2C Pte. Ltd.
(C2C). C2C, a related party of STI, is a private cable company with a network reaching 17,000 kilometers that links China, Hong
Kong, Japan, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, Philippines and the US.

In 2003, Innove recognized a full provision for its equity investment in C2C Holdings amounting to P= 894.55 million (or P
= 6.39 on a
per share basis). The provision was made following the assessment by C2C Holdings of the estimated future cash flows expected
from the continuing use of the cable network assets of C2C until the end of its economic useful lives and after considering the
increased potential risk to the restructuring of C2C’s debt. This considered an independent market study commissioned to revalidate
the bandwidth market potential and its effect on C2C Holdings.

In October 2005, the creditors of C2C appointed receivers and in January 2006, manifested their intention to take over the
management of C2C. Innove is awaiting the resolution of the matter between C2C and STI.

Investment in BMPL
On November 3, 2004, Globe Telecom and six other leading Asia Pacific mobile operators (JV partners) signed an Agreement
(JV Agreement) to form a regional mobile alliance, which will operate through a Singapore-incorporated company, BMPL. In 2005,
the JV consisted of eight partners. The joint venture company will look at driving commercial and other benefits for the operators and
delivering regional mobile services to their subscribers.

BMPL will be a commercial vehicle in which the eight JV partners jointly invest to build and establish a regional mobile infrastructure
and common service platform. This will enable the creation and seamless delivery of regional mobile services across geographical
borders, and enhance the service experience of their mobile customers when they roam from one country to another. BMPL will also
develop new products and services on a regional basis and create competitive advantages and differentiation for the mobile
operators in their respective markets.

The other joint venture partners with equal stake in the alliance include Bharti Tele-Ventures Limited (India), Maxis Communications
Berhad (Malaysia), Optus Mobile Pty. Limited (Australia), Singapore Telecom Mobile Pte. Ltd. (Singapore),Taiwan Cellular
Corporation (Taiwan), PT Telekomunikasi Selular (Indonesia) and Hongkong CSL Ltd. (Hongkong).

Under the JV Agreement, each partner (shareholder) shall contribute US$4.00 million scheduled as follows:

Year 1 about US$1.50 million

Year 2 about US$1.30 million
Year 3 about US$1.20 million

As of December 31, 2005, Globe Telecom has paid US$1 million (P

= 56.33 million) as initial subscription. BMPL started commercial
operations in April 2005.

 Covenants
The 2012 Senior Notes are unsecured obligations, equal in ranking among themselves and with all of the existing and future
unsecured and unsubordinated debt, subject to Article 2244 (14) of the Civil Code of the Philippines, and senior in right of payment to
all future subordinated debt. Secured debt of Globe Telecom will be effectively senior to the Senior Notes to the extent of the value
of the assets securing such debt and also to the extent any such indebtedness is incurred by a restricted subsidiary. In addition, under
the laws of the Philippines, in the event a borrower submits to insolvency or liquidation proceedings in which the borrower’s assets
are liquidated, unsecured debt of the borrower that is evidenced by a public instrument as provided in Article 2244 (14) of the Civil
Code of the Philippines will rank ahead of unsecured debt of the borrower that is not evidenced by a public instrument.

The 2012 Senior Notes provide certain restrictions, which include among others, incurrence of additional debt, certain dividend
payments, and liens, repayments of certain debts, merger/consolidation and sale of assets in general.

Bank Loans and Corporate Notes

Globe Telecom’s corporate notes, which consist of fixed and floating rate notes, and peso-denominated bank loans, bear interest at
stipulated and prevailing market rates. The US dollar-denominated loans extended by commercial banks bear interest based on
US Dollar London Interbank Offered Rate (USD LIBOR) or Commercial Interest Reference Rate (CIRR) plus margins.

Retail Bonds
In February 2004, Globe Telecom issued P = 3,000.00 million retail bonds locally with fixed and floating interest rates based on MART1
plus margins. The retail bonds have maturities ranging from 3 to 5 years. The retail bonds may be redeemed in whole, but not in part,
at any time, by giving not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior notice, at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the
bonds, together with accrued and unpaid interest to the date fixed for redemption, if Globe Telecom will pay additional amounts due
to change in tax and/or other regulations. The agreements covering the retail bonds provide restrictions with respect to, among
others, maintenance of certain financial ratios, sale, transfer, assignment or disposal of assets and creation of property
encumbrances.

Suppliers’ Credits

Globe Telecom and Innove, in their regular conduct of business, enters into transactions with its principal shareholders, AC and STI,
and certain related parties. These transactions, which are accounted for at market prices normally charged to unaffiliated customers
for similar goods and services, include the following:

Globe Telecom

(a) Globe Telecom has interconnection agreements with STI. The related net traffic settlements receivable (included in
“Receivables” in the consolidated balance sheets) and the interconnection toll income (included in “Service revenues” in the
consolidated statements of income) earned as of and for the years ended December 31 follow:

(b) Globe Telecom and STI have a technical assistance agreement whereby STI will provide consultancy and advisory services,
including those with respect to the construction and operation of Globe Telecom’s networks and communication services,
equipment procurement and personnel services. In addition, Globe Telecom has software development, supply, license and
support arrangements, lease of cable facilities, maintenance and restoration costs and other transactions with STI.

The details of fees (included in “Operating costs and expenses” account in the consolidated statements of income) incurred under
these agreements are as follows:

Software development, supply, license and support 11,940 21,322 16,895

(c) In 2001, Globe Telecom signed a cable equipment supply agreement with C2C, a related party of STI. In March 2002, Globe
Telecom entered into an equipment lease agreement for the same equipment obtained from C2C with GB21 Hong Kong Limited
(GB21). Subsequently, GB21, in consideration of C2C’s agreement to assume all payment obligations pursuant to the lease
agreement, assigned all its rights, obligations and interest in the equipment lease agreement to C2C. As a result of the said
assignment of receivables and payables by GB21 and C2C under the two agreements, Globe Telecom’s liability arising from the
cable equipment supply agreement with C2C was effectively converted into a noninterest bearing long-term obligation. Upon
adoption of PAS 39 in 2005, the noninterest bearing long-term obligation was restated to its fair value, representing the present
value of future cash flows. The difference between the principal amount and the present value of the obligation is reported as an
adjustment to the property and equipment account. As of December 31, 2005, the remaining liability of Globe Telecom to C2C
for the cable equipment supply agreement amounted to P = 1,235.81 million (inclusive of the accumulated accretion of
P
= 486.98 million) included under “Other long-term liabilities” account in the consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of the
equipment purchased amounted to P = 1,453.89 million included under “Property and equipment” account in the consolidated
balance sheets.

Globe Telecom entered into agreements with C2C for the purchase of IRUs in the C2C and Japan-US Cable Networks. The
aggregate cost of capacity purchased from C2C amounted to P
= 1,133.79 million. This was part of the property and equipment
transferred to Innove in June 2004.

In July 2002, Globe Telecom received advance service fees from C2C amounting to US$1.60 million, which will be offset against
its share in the operations and maintenance costs of the cable landing facilities of Globe Telecom. Also, in January 2003, Globe
Telecom received advance lease payments from C2C for its use of a portion of Globe Telecom’s cable landing station facilities
amounting to US$4.11 million.

The parties have agreed on a lease amortization schedule and application of a portion of the advance service fees for C2C’s
share in the 2002 operations and maintenance costs of the cable landing facilities. Accordingly, Globe Telecom recognized lease
income amounting to P= 15.06 million, P
= 16.32 million and 51.00 million in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Globe Telecom also
recognized service fees amounting to P = 2.33 million, P
= 43.76 million and P
= 42.33 million in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

once exercised. The qualified officers and employees shall pay for the shares subscribed under the ESOWN and ESOP1 through
installments over a maximum period of 5 years and 10 years, respectively. The shares of stock have a holding period of five years
and the employees must remain with Globe Telecom or its affiliates over such period. The plans also provide restrictions on sale or
assignment of shares for five years from date of subscription. The number of exercised shares under ESOP1 totaled

personnel. ESOP2 provides for an exercise price of P = 547.00 a share, which is the average quoted market price of the last 20 trading
days preceding April 4, 2003. These options are settled in equity once exercised. Fifty percent of the options will be exercisable from
April 4, 2005 to April 4, 2013, while the remaining fifty percent will be exercisable from April 4, 2006 to April 4, 2013. In order to avail
of the privilege, the grantees must remain with Globe Telecom or its affiliates from grant date up to the beginning of the exercise

As discussed in Note 1, Globe Telecom and Innove is enfranchised under RA No. 7229 and 7372, respectively, and its related laws to
render any and all types of domestic and international telecommunications services. Globe Group is entitled to certain tax and nontax
incentives under its franchise and has availed of incentives for tax and duty-free importation of capital equipment for its services
under its franchise.

On July 19, 2001, the Board of Investments (BOI) approved Globe Telecom’s application as an expanding operator of
telecommunications systems (Nationwide CMTS-GSM Network) and granted its Phase 8 Expansion Project a pioneer status. The
BOI issued the certificate of registration on March 5, 2002 which entitled Globe Telecom to ITH for 3 years. The ITH commenced on
April 1, 2002, the date when Phase 8 Expansion was placed in commercial operations. The availment of the ITH resulted in an
increase of P
= 1.90, P
= 8.38, and P
= 7.18 in the basic EPS in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The ITH expired on March 31, 2005.

On June 25, 2002, the BOI issued a Certificate of Registration to Globe Telecom and granted a pioneer status as a new operator of
Infrastructure and Telecommunications Facilities (Cable Landing Station Facilities). On June 30, 2004, Globe Telecom transferred
additional wireline assets and certain investments in cable systems to Innove. Included in the assets transferred are various
capacities in the C2C cable network forming part of the registered project. Ownership and operation of such capacities are now
transferred to Innove. In anticipation of such transfer, on June 23, 2004, Globe Telecom voluntarily surrendered its certificate of
registration on the Cable Landing Station Facilities to the BOI. Effective June 23, 2004, Globe Telecom will no longer be entitled to
the ITH on Cable Landing Station Facilities.

agreements provide for sharing of toll revenues derived from the mutual use of interconnection facilities.

93 ANNUAL REPORT 2005

 Arrangements and Commitments with Suppliers
Globe Telecom and Innove have entered into agreements with various suppliers for the delivery, installation, or construction of its
property and equipment. Under the terms of these agreements, delivery, installation or construction commences only when purchase
orders are served. Billings are based on the progress of the project installation or construction. While the construction is in progress,
project costs are accrued based on the billings received. When the installation or construction is completed and the property is ready
for service (see Note 2), the balance of the related purchase orders is accrued. The consolidated accrued project costs as of
December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003 included in “Accounts payable and accrued expenses” account in the consolidated balance
sheets amounted to P = 2,444.11 million, P
= 3,454.29 million and P
= 3,003.05 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2005, the
consolidated expected future payments amounted to P = 1,889.18 million. The settlement of these liabilities is dependent on the
payment terms agreed with the suppliers and contractors.

As of December 31, 2005, the Globe Group has available short-term credit facilities of US$43.00 million and P
= 5,050.00 million.

23. Contingencies

Globe Telecom and Innove are contingently liable for various claims arising in the ordinary conduct of business and certain tax
assessments which are either pending decision by the courts or are being contested, the outcome of which are not presently
determinable. In the opinion of management and legal counsel, the eventual liability under these claims, if any, will not have a
material or adverse effect on the Globe Group’s financial position and results of operations.

NTC Memorandum Circular No. 13-6-2000

Globe Telecom is an intervenor in and Innove (formerly Isla Communications Co., Inc.) is a party to Civil Case No. Q-00-42221
entitled “Isla Communications Co., Inc. et. al. versus NTC, et. al.” before the Regional Trial Court (RTC) of Quezon City by virtue of
which Globe Telecom and Innove together with other cellular operators, sought and obtained a preliminary injunction against the
implementation of NTC Memorandum Circular No. 13-6-2000. NTC Memorandum Circular No. 13-6-2000 sought, among others, to
extend the expiration of prepaid call cards to two years. The NTC appealed the grant of the injunction to the Court of Appeals (CA).
On October 25, 2001, Globe Telecom and Innove received a copy of the decision of the CA ordering the dismissal of the case before
the RTC for lack of jurisdiction, but without prejudice to the cellular companies’ seeking relief before the NTC which the CA claims
had jurisdiction over the matter. On November 7, 2001, Globe Telecom and Innove filed a Motion for Reconsideration. On
January 10, 2002, the Motion was denied. Globe Telecom and Innove filed a Petition for Review by way of Certiorari to the SC on
February 10, 2002. On April 16, 2002, the SC required the Solicitor General to comment on the Petition. On September 17, 2002, the
NTC filed its comment. On July 23, 2002, the Globe Group filed its comment.

The SC, in its resolution dated September 9, 2002, denied the Petition for Review, a copy of which was received by Globe Telecom
and Innove on September 26, 2002. On October 10, 2002, Globe Telecom and Innove filed a motion for reconsideration (with motion
to consolidate) of the SC’s resolution. On February 17, 2003, the SC granted the motion for reconsideration and reinstated the
petition. On April 15, 2003, Globe Group received the order of the SC requiring the Group to file the memorandum in the case.
Subsequently, the SC reversed the decision of the CA and declared the RTC as having jurisdiction over the case. The SC remanded
the case to the RTC for further hearing. As of February 7, 2006, Globe Telecom is still awaiting the resumption of proceedings before
the RTC.

In the event, however, that Globe Telecom and Innove are not eventually sustained in their position and NTC Memorandum Circular
No. 13-6-2000 is implemented in its current form, the Globe Group would probably incur additional costs for carrying and maintaining
prepaid subscribers in their networks.
GLOBE TELECOM, INC.

NTC Administrative Case No. 2005-18
On February 11, 2005, Innove filed a case against Digitel Mobile Philippines, Inc. (Digitel) for predatory pricing and violation of NTC
Memorandum Circular No. 07-06-2002 on service performance standards. The case has been consolidated with NTC Administrative
Case No. 2005-18 entitled PILTEL vs. Digitel. A hearing was conducted on April 5, 2005 and NTC was requested to conduct a drive
test measurement on Digitel’s performance which will be witnessed by NTC and signed-off by representatives of the parties involved.
This is pending resolution by the NTC. During the April 26, 2005 hearing, Digitel manifested that it will no longer present evidence.
On August 3, 2005, the NTC issued an order that states that carriers are free to provide whatever service quality they wanted on
innovative price plans for so long as they advertised their service quality. Certain service quality improvements and minimum
standards should, however, be provided over time. The order is not yet final and Innove is still considering its options to deal with the
said order.

Development with US Carriers

On February 7, 2003, AT&T and Worldcom (MCI) filed a petition before the US Federal Communications Commission (US FCC)
seeking a stop payment order on settlement to the Philippine carriers on the ground that Philippine carriers were “whipsawing” AT&T
and MCI into agreeing to an increase in termination rates to the Philippines. On March 10, 2003, the Chief International Bureau of the
US FCC issued an order suspending all settlement payments of US facilities-based carriers to a number of Philippine carriers,
including Globe Telecom, until such time as the US FCC issues a Public Notice stating otherwise. This order had the effect of
preventing US facilities-based carriers such as AT&T from paying the affected Philippine carriers for switched voice services,
whether rendered before or after the date of the Order. In response, the NTC issued an Order on March 12, 2003 ordering Philippine
carriers not to accept traffic from US carriers who do not pay for services rendered and to take all steps necessary to collect payment
for services rendered.

On January 26, 2004, the US FCC lifted its stop-payment order against Globe Telecom following confirmation by US carriers that
service with Globe Telecom had been normalized. US carriers were required to resume payments for termination services.

In June 2004, the US FCC issued an order denying the petitions for review filed by the different Philippine carriers and upholding the
finding of whipsawing. In the same order, the US FCC stated that the matter of lifting the International Settlement Policy (ISP) over
the Philippine route will be decided in FCC proceedings relative to its ISP reform order. Pursuant to the ISP Reform Order, countries
whose rates are at or below benchmark will be dropped from the coverage of the ISP unless serious concerns are raised on the route.

In August 2004, the US FCC, in the proceedings on the ISP Reform Order, required US Carriers to certify that the rates charged by
the Philippine Carriers are benchmark compliant. As of October 11, 2004, all three major US Carriers (AT&T, MCI and Sprint) have
certified to the benchmark compliance of the Philippine route.

On August 15, 2005, the US FCC released its order upholding the findings of whipsawing. Despite this, however, it ordered the lifting
of the ISP on the Philippine route on the ground that the rates on the route were still benchmark-compliant and there was no further
evidence of continuing anti-competitive conduct on the route.

On January 10 and 11, 2004, the United States Department of Justice (US DOJ) served subpoenas on several Philippine telecom
executives, including two Globe Telecom managers and the chief executive officer of Innove, requiring them to appear before a
grand jury investigation in Hawaii. The investigation is for the purpose of determining if the conduct of the Philippine carriers in
relation to the termination rate disputes with US carriers may have violated US laws. On March 24, 2005, the District Court of Hawaii
granted Globe Telecom’s motion to quash the subpoena duces tecum against it on the ground that US courts have no jurisdiction. On
April 28, 2005, the US DOJ filed a notice of appeal stating its intention to appeal the ruling of the district court of Hawaii.
On July 5, 2005, Globe Telecom received an advice from US DOJ that its investigation has been closed.

25. Financial Instruments

Financial Risk Management Objectives and Policies

The main purpose of the Globe Group’s financial instruments is to fund its operations and capital expenditures. The main risks arising
from the use of financial instruments are liquidity risk, foreign currency risk, interest rate risk, and credit risk. Globe Telecom also
enters into derivative transactions, the purpose of which is to manage the currency and interest rate risk arising from its financial
instruments.

The BOD reviews and approves the policies for managing each of these risks. The Globe Group monitors market price risk arising
from all financial instruments and regularly reports financial management activities and the results of these activities to the BOD.

The Globe Group’s risk management policies are summarized below:

Interest Rate Risk

The Globe Group’s exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to the companies’ long-term debt
obligations.

Globe Telecom’s policy is to manage its interest cost using a mix of fixed and variable rate debt. The Globe Group’s policy is to keep
a maximum of 75% of its borrowings at fixed rates of interest. To manage this mix in a cost-efficient manner, the Globe Group enters
into interest rate swaps, in which the companies agree to exchange, at specified intervals, the difference between fixed and variable
interest amounts calculated by reference to an agreed-upon notional principal amount.
GLOBE TELECOM, INC.

96
As of December 31, 2005, after taking into account the effect of interest rate swaps, 67% of the Globe Group’s borrowings are at a
fixed rate of interest.

Foreign Exchange Risk

The Globe Group’s foreign exchange risk results primarily from movements of the Philippine Peso (PHP) against the United States
Dollar (USD) with respect to USD denominated financial assets (such as cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments) and
USD denominated financial liabilities. Majority of revenues are generated in PHP, while substantially all of capital expenditures are in
USD. In addition, 65% of debt as of December 31, 2005 was denominated in USD.

It is Globe Telecom’s policy to hedge its foreign currency denominated debt such that the sum of PHP debt and USD debt that has
been swapped to PHP shall comprise at least 50% of total outstanding debt. Globe Telecom enters into short-term foreign currency
forwards and long-term foreign currency swap contracts in order to achieve this target. As of December 31, 2005, the amount of USD
debt that has been swapped to PHP and PHP-denominated loans amounted to approximately 53% of the total debt.

Credit Risk
All regular applicants for postpaid service are subject to standard credit verification procedures. The Credit Management unit of
Globe Group continuously provides credit notification and implements differentiated credit actions, depending on assessed risks, to
minimize credit exposure. Receivable balances of postpaid subscribers are being monitored on a regular basis and appropriate
actions are executed. Likewise, net receivable balances from carriers of traffic are also being monitored and subjected to appropriate
actions to manage credit risk.

With respect to credit risk arising from the other financial assets of the Globe Group, which comprise cash and cash equivalents,
available-for-sale financial assets and certain derivative instruments, the Globe Group’s exposure to credit risk arises from default of
the counterparty, with a maximum exposure equal to the carrying amount of these instruments. The Globe Group has a counterparty
credit risk management policy which allocates investment limits based on counterparty credit ratings and credit risk profile.

Liquidity Risk
The Globe Group seeks to manage its liquidity profile to be able to finance capital expenditures and service maturing debts. To cover
its financing requirements, the Globe Group intends to use internally generated funds and available long-term and short-term credit
facilities. As of December 31, 2005, the Globe Group has available short-term credit facilities of US$43.00 million and
P
= 5,050.00 million.

As part of its liquidity risk management, Globe Telecom regularly evaluates its projected and actual cash flows. It also continuously
assesses conditions in the financial markets for opportunities to pursue fund raising activities, in case any requirements arise. Fund
raising activities may include bank loans, export credit agency facilities, and capital market issues.

Hedging Objectives and Policies

The Globe Group uses a combination of natural hedges and derivative hedging to manage its foreign exchange exposure. It uses
interest rate derivatives to reduce earnings volatility related to interest rate movements.

It is the Globe Group’s policy to ensure that capabilities exist for active but conservative management of its foreign exchange and
interest rate risks. The Globe Group does not engage in any speculative derivative transactions. Authorized derivative instruments
include currency forward contracts (freestanding and embedded), currency swap contracts, interest rate swap contracts and currency
option contracts (freestanding and embedded). Certain currency swaps are entered into in combination with options or contain a
structured provision.

Traffic settlement receivable and payable accounts, included as part of the Receivables - net and Accounts payable and accrued
expenses accounts, respectively, in the above table, are presented net of any related payable or receivable balances with the same
telecommunications carriers only when there is a right of offset under the traffic settlement agreements and that the accounts are
settled on a net basis.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument for which it is
practicable to estimate such value:

Nonderivative Financial Instruments

The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, trade accounts and traffic settlements receivable are
approximately equal to their carrying amounts.

The fair value of Globe Telecom’s outstanding Senior Notes due 2012 is based on the quoted market price of the Notes. The price of
the Notes (after bifurcating the value of the embedded prepayment option) is 118.25%, with an effective interest rate of 6.20%. The
fair value of other fixed rate interest bearing loans is based on the discounted value of future cash flows using the applicable rates for
similar types of loans. The discount rates used range from 6.47% to 10.16% (for PHP loans) and 5.43% (for USD loans).
GLOBE TELECOM, INC.

98
For variable rate loans that reprice every three months, the carrying value approximates the fair value because of recent and regular
repricing based on current market rates. For variable rate loans that reprice every six months, the fair value is determined by
discounting the principal amount plus the next interest payment using the prevailing market rate for the period up to the next repricing
date. The discount rates used range from 4.65% to 7.81% (for USD loans). The variable rate PHP loans reprice every three months.
For noninterest bearing obligations, the fair value is estimated as the present value of all future cash flows discounted using the
prevailing market rate of interest for a similar instrument.

Derivative Instruments
The fair value of forward exchange contracts is calculated by reference to current forward exchange rates for contracts with similar
maturity profiles.

The fair value of embedded foreign exchange derivatives in notes that have been purchased by Globe Telecom is calculated by
reference to the current price of the note and the change in the foreign exchange rate that is linked to the note.

The fair values of interest rate swaps, currency and cross currency swap transactions are determined using valuation techniques with
assumptions that are based on market conditions existing at balance sheet date. The fair value of interest rate swap transactions is
the net present value of the estimated future cash flows. The fair values of currency and cross currency swap transactions are
determined based on changes in the term structure of interest rates of each currency and the spot rate. The fair values of structured
swaps transactions are determined based on quotes obtained from counterparty banks.

Embedded currency option and forward contracts are valued using the simple option pricing model of Bloomberg. The embedded call
option on the 2012 Senior Notes is also valued using Bloomberg models.

Derivative Instruments Accounted for as Hedges
The following sections discuss in detail the derivative instruments accounted for as cash flow hedges.

 Currency and Cross-Currency Swaps

As of December 31, 2005, Globe Telecom has outstanding US$20.27 million foreign currency swap agreements with certain
banks, under which it effectively swaps the principal of certain USD-denominated loan exposures into fixed PHP-denominated
loan exposures with semi-annual payment intervals up to 2008.

Globe Telecom also has outstanding foreign currency swap agreements with certain banks, under which it effectively swaps the
principal of US$71.68 million loans into PHP up to April 2012. Under these contracts, swap costs are payable in semi-annual
intervals in PHP or USD.

The unrealized fair value after tax included under “Cumulative translation adjustment” in the stockholders’ equity section of the
consolidated balance sheets amounted to P = 223.42 million as of December 31, 2005.

Principal-only swaps 71,678 3,875,283 2006 – 2012 54.065

 Interest Rate Swaps

As of December 31, 2005, Globe Telecom has US$56.16 million in notional amount of interest rate swap that has been
designated as cash flow hedge. The interest rate swap effectively fixed the benchmark rate of the hedged loan at 2.305% to
4.205% over the duration of the agreement, which involves semi-annual payment intervals up to August 2007.

As of December 31, 2005, the fair value of the outstanding swap amounted to a P = 57.49 million gain, of which P= 5.14 million
(net of tax) is reported as “Cumulative translation adjustment” in the stockholders’ equity section of the consolidated balance
sheets.

Other Derivative Instruments not Designated as Hedges

Globe Telecom enters into certain derivatives as economic hedges of certain underlying exposures. Such derivatives, which include
embedded and freestanding currency forwards, embedded call options, and certain currency swaps with option combination or
structured provisions, are not designated as accounting hedges. The gains or losses on these instruments are accounted for directly
to the consolidated statements of income. This section consists of freestanding derivatives and embedded derivatives found in both
financial and non-financial contracts.

Freestanding Derivatives
Freestanding derivatives that are not designated as hedges consist of currency forwards, options, swaps and interest rate swaps
entered into by Globe Telecom. Mark-to-market changes on these instruments are accounted for directly in the consolidated
statements of income.

 Non-deliverable Forwards
Globe Telecom entered into short-term non-deliverable currency forward contracts to fix the peso cash flows from coupon and
redemption of certain DLPN issued by the ROP. These currency forward contracts with a notional amount of US$2.88 million,
matured in December 2005. The realized gain amounted to P = 23.44 million.

103 ANNUAL REPORT 2005

  Sold Currency Options
As of December 31, 2005, Globe Telecom has sold currency options with total outstanding notional amount of US$27.70 million
at an average strike price of P
= 58.97/US$ maturing up to March 2007. These were entered into to subsidize the cost of
outstanding currency swap contracts. The mark-to-market value on these currency options (including premiums receivable) as of
December 31, 2005 amounted to a gain of P = 12.68 million.

 Currency Swaps and Cross-Currency Swaps

Globe Telecom also has outstanding foreign currency swap agreements with certain banks, under which it swaps the principal of
US$68.75 million USD-denominated loans into PHP up to April 2012. Under these contracts, swap costs are payable in
semi-annual intervals in PHP or USD. Of the US$68.75 million, US$6.25 million is in combination with sold out-of-the-money
USD call options with a strike price of P
= 62.50, while another US$20.00 million provides Globe Telecom the option to reset lower
to a certain minimum the foreign exchange rate used to determine PHP equivalent amounts to be net settled by Globe Telecom
upon maturity or termination. The reset option has been exercised.

Globe Telecom also entered into cross-currency swap agreements with certain banks, under which it swaps the principal and
interest of certain USD-denominated loans into Philippine peso with quarterly or semi-annual payment intervals up to June 2008.
As of December 31, 2005, the total outstanding notional amounts of the cross-currency swaps amounted to US$14.31 million.

The mark-to-market values of the outstanding currency and cross-currency swaps as of December 31, 2005 amounted to a gain
of P
= 19.86 million and a loss of P
= 249.01 million, respectively on these instruments.

 Interest Rate Swaps

Globe Telecom has an outstanding interest rate swap with a notional amount of
US$5.00 million under which it effectively swapped the 9.75% coupon on its outstanding 2012 Senior Notes into a floating rate of
interest based on LIBOR. The swap has a constant maturity swap (CMS) component that is intended to reduce swap costs. The
interest rate on one leg of the CMS is being reset periodically subject to a cap, while the interest rate on the fixed leg of the swap
is subject to a daily range accrual that is linked to the difference between the 30-year and 10-year USD swap rates.

Globe Telecom also has an outstanding interest rate swap contract with a notional amount of P= 1,000.00 million, which effectively
swaps a fixed rate PHP-denominated bond into floating rate, with quarterly payment intervals up to February 2009.

The mark-to-market values on the interest rate swaps as of December 31, 2005 amounted to a net mark-to-market gain of
P
= 50.34 million.

Embedded Derivatives and Other Financial Instruments

Globe Group’s embedded derivatives include embedded currency derivatives noted in both financial and non-financial contracts and
embedded call options in debt instruments.

 Embedded Currency Forwards

As of December 31, 2005, the total outstanding notional amount of currency forwards embedded in non-financial contracts
amounted to US$11.72 million. The non-financial contracts consist mainly of foreign-currency denominated purchase orders with
various expected delivery dates. The mark-to-market gain as of December 31, 2005 on the embedded currency forwards
amounted to P
= 71.48 million.

 Embedded Currency Options

As of December 31, 2005, the total outstanding notional amount of currency options embedded in non-financial contracts
amounted to US$1.08 million. The mark-to-market gain as of December 31, 2005 on the embedded currency options amounted
to P
= 0.24 million.
GLOBE TELECOM, INC.

104
  Embedded Call Option
Globe Telecom’s 2012 Senior Notes contain embedded call options which give Globe Telecom the right to prepay the notes at a
certain call price per year. As of December 31, 2005, the embedded call options have a notional amount of US$300.00 million
and mark-to-market gain of P = 1,268.71 million.

 Dollar-Linked Peso Notes

Globe Telecom’s investments in DLPN issued by the ROP matured in December 2005. These investments have a total face
value of P
= 150.00 million and were purchased at a premium with weighted average price of P = 104.38. The redemption amounts
and interest rates of these DLPN investments are based on a pre-agreed formula, which includes a foreign exchange factor
applied to the base interest rate payable semi-annually in arrears and to the redemption amounts.

The DLPN investments contain embedded currency forwards that were bifurcated and marked-to-market through profit and loss.
Globe Group realized a net loss of P
= 2.74 million.

The host peso debt instruments on the DLPN investments were accounted for at amortized cost.

Fair Value Changes on Derivatives

The net movements in fair value changes of all derivative instruments in 2005 are as follows (amounts in thousand pesos):

Balance at beginning of year P

= 1,266,411
Net changes in fair value of derivatives:
Designated as accounting hedges (429,336)
Not designated as accounting hedges 27,006
864,081
Less fair value of settled instruments 46,936
Balance at end of year P
= 817,145

Hedge Effectiveness Results

As of December 31, 2005, the effective mark-to-market value changes on Globe Telecom’s cashflow hedges that were deferred in
equity amounted to P= 228.56 million, net of tax. Total ineffectiveness recognized immediately in the consolidated statements of
income for the year then ended is immaterial.

The distinction of the results of hedge accounting into “Effective” or “Ineffective” represent designations based on PAS 39 and are not
necessarily reflective of the economic effectiveness of the instruments.

26. Segment Reporting

The Globe Group’s reportable segments consist of:

Wireless Communications Services - represents cellular telecommunications services that allow subscribers to make and receive
local, domestic long distance and international long distance calls to and from any place within the coverage area. Revenues
principally consist of one-time registration fees, fixed monthly service fees, revenues from value-added services such as text
messaging, proceeds from sale of handsets and other phone accessories, upfront fees from activation of simpacks/simcards and per
minute airtime and toll fees for basic services which vary based primarily on the monthly volume of calls and the network on which
the call terminates.

105 ANNUAL REPORT 2005

 Wireline Communications Services - represents fixed line telecommunications services, which offer subscribers, local, domestic long
distance and international long distance services in addition to a number of value-added services in various service areas covered by
the PA granted by the NTC (see Note 1). Revenues consist principally of fixed monthly basic fee for service and equipment, one-time
fixed line service connection fee, value-added service charges, and toll fees for domestic and international long distance calls and
internet subscription fees of wireline voice subscribers. Includes also a variety of telecommunications services tailored to meet the
specific needs of corporate communications such as leased lines, VSAT, telex, international packet-switching services, broadband,
and internet services.

On September 30, 2003, Globe Telecom has discontinued its telex service due to declining revenues and for cost efficiency.

The segment assets and liabilities and results of operations in 2004 and 2003 have been restated to reflect the effects of the change
in accounting policies.

The segment’s performance is evaluated based on earnings before income taxes and depreciation and amortization (EBITDA).

[1] Corporate represents support services that cannot be directly identified with any of the revenue generating services.
[2] The term EBITDA is presented because it is generally accepted as providing useful information regarding a company’s ability to service and incur debt. The Globe
Group’s presentation of EBITDA differs from the above definition by excluding other income (expenses). The Globe Group’s presentation of EBITDA may not be
comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies and could be misleading because not all companies and analysts calculate EBITDA in the same
manner.

enhanced and developed community the communities in
leadership and entrepreneurship and advanced

BridgeCom Sa Bayan, a leadership and business
development training program for barangay leaders and women micro-

them with skills on strategic planning, financial management, marketing and
credit discipline. This program encouraged communities through LGU leaders

to get actively involved in livelihood activities and promoted starting small
business for families and community welfare. Some 1,200 barangay leaders
and 650 women entrepreneurs participated in this project. Globe provided
entrepreneurship opportunities through its Autoload Max retailership program
while a number of communities started their own barangay-based businesses.
Globe also addressed the need for rural IT development
through the BridgeCom PCs for Barangays. This
program brought 50 sets of personal computers to
barangays and local civic organizations nationwide and
developed computer literacy skills of barangay officials
and their constituents and helped them semiautomate
applicable barangay transactions.
In the field of education and information technology, Globe
embarked on the third year of its involvement in Text2Teach and instituted the
Globe Technical Advancement Program (GTAP), among others.
A collaboration of Globe, Nokia, International Youth Foundation (IYF), United
Nations Development Program (UNDP), Ayala Foundation, and other local
partners, Text2Teach provided teachers educational materials and information
through the use of mobile telephones. Lectures in Science, English, and • Globe’s Bantay Baterya project (in partnership with ABS-CBN’s Bantay

Text2Teach was made available in more than 200 public elementary schools
nationwide. For the secondary level, Globe Kababayan, through a grant to the
“Classroom Galing Sa Mamamayan Abroad” program donated two classrooms in
Alulod Elementary School in Indang, Cavite.
On the other hand, GTAP enriched the learning experience of Engineering and
IT students through curriculum update and development, hands-on-training and
internship. Its first beneficiary was the University of San Jose Recoletos Cebu.

and Maripipi Island, Biliran province served more than 2,000 patients from
depressed communities.
• BridgeCom Disaster Response provided relief operations for typhoon
affected provinces of Quezon and Oriental Mindoro.
We believe that the greatest contribution Globe can make to poverty alleviation
is through sustained corporate social responsibility programs. This is in line with
our effort to ensure that the economic, social and environmental impacts of
these involvements are positive. And that one of the better ways to participate
in national development would be the effective use of our core products and
services to uplift the lives of marginalized Filipinos.

• GT Eskwela, the flagship employee volunteerism project of Globe, served

public elementary schools in Payatas, Quezon City, Quezon and Bohol
