                    [Summary] => 

Ayala-owned Globe Telecom will increase its public ownership base to about 30
percent with the issuance of approximately P1.02 billion worth of new common
shares.

The company said its board of directors had approved last May 5 the float of up
to 20.4 million new shares to be offered to the public after the proposed 1:50
reverse stock split takes effect.

The reverse stock split will change the par value of Globe's common shares from
P1 per share to P50 each.
