The Republic of the Philippines Announces the Results of Its Global Bond Offering.

MANILA -- The Republic of the Philippines (the "Republic") announced today, the final results of its invitation (the "invitation") to the holders of its outstanding 7.50% Bonds due 2007, 8.875% Bonds due 2008, 8.375% Global Bonds due 2009, 9.875% Global Bonds due 2010, 9.00% Global Bonds due 2013, 8.25% Global Bonds due 2014, 8.875% Global Bonds due 2015, 8.75% Fixed Rate Bonds due October 2016, 9.375% Global Bonds due 2017 and 9.875% Bonds due 2019 (collectively, the "shorter-term old bonds") to submit, in a modified Dutch auction, offers to exchange shorter-term old bonds for newly issued U.S. Dollar-Denominated Amortizing Global Bonds due 2024 (the "Amortizing Bonds"), and to the holders of its 9.50% U.S. Dollar-Denominated Global Bonds due 2024 and 10.625% Global Bonds due 2025 (collectively, the "longer-term old bonds," and together with the shorter-term old bonds, the "old bonds") to submit, in a modified Dutch auction, offers to exchange longer-term old bonds for reopened 7.75% Global Bonds due 2031 (the "Reopened Bonds," and together with the Amortizing Bonds, the "new global bonds").

The Republic also announced that it will issue $10 million principal amount of new Amortizing Bonds for cash (the "cash offering" and, together with the invitation, the "global bond offering").

The global bond offering commenced on September 6, 2006, on the terms and subject to the conditions described in the prospectus supplement dated September 6, 2006 (the "prospectus supplement") and the accompanying prospectus dated May 16, 2006 (the "prospectus"). The invitation expired at 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on September 12, 2006.

The Republic selected the following clearing spreads for the new global bonds to be issued pursuant to the invitation:

--200 basis points for the Amortizing Bonds, and

--205 basis points for the Reopened Bonds.

The Amortizing Bonds will have a coupon of 7.50% per year, and an issue price of $1,011.56 per $1,000 principal amount, resulting in a yield to maturity of 7.3795%, which equals the sum of (x) the clearing spread for the Amortizing Bonds plus (y) the interpolated U.S. dollar swap rate to the average life of the Amortizing Bonds (using a weighted average life of 17 years) based on the Bloomberg IYC1 I52 screen (without rounding) at approximately 8:00 A.M., New York City time, today, September 13, 2006. The Reopened Bonds will have an issue price of $1,033.41 per $1,000 principal amount, resulting in a yield to maturity of 7.4490%, which equals the sum of (x) the clearing spread for the Reopened Bonds plus (y) the interpolated U.S. dollar swap rate to the average life of the Reopened Bonds based on the Bloomberg IYC1 I52 screen (without rounding) at approximately 8:00 A.M., New York City time, today, September 13, 2006. In total, approximately U.S.$1.0 billion original principal amount of old bonds will be retired pursuant to the invitation.

The Republic expects to issue approximately U.S.$1.2 billion aggregate principal amount of new global bonds pursuant to the global bond offering, including approximately U.S.$764 million aggregate principal amount of Amortizing Bonds and approximately U.S.$435 million aggregate principal amount of Reopened Bonds pursuant to the invitation, and approximately U.S.$10 million aggregate principal amount of Amortizing Bonds pursuant to the cash offering. No Reopened Bonds will be issued pursuant to the cash offering.

The definitive amounts of new global bonds to be issued and old bonds to be exchanged remain subject to final confirmation by the settlement agent.

The tables below show (a) the old bond price and exchange ratio for each series of old bonds and (b) the bond-by-bond final results of the global bond offering.

(2) Regulation S global bonds.

The scheduled settlement date for the global bond offering is September 25, 2006 (the "settlement date"). Each holder exchanging old bonds for new global bonds may also receive at settlement an amount in cash in U.S. dollars due to rounding of the principal amount of new global bonds issuable to such holder downward to the nearest $1,000 (subject to minimum denominations of $100,000). If you held less than $100,000 principal amount of a series of old bonds and you submitted an exchange offer and it was accepted, but the principal amount of new global bonds that you would be entitled to receive for such old bonds is less than $100,000, the minimum denomination of the new global bonds, then you will not receive new global bonds, but will instead receive an amount in cash in U.S. dollars as described in the prospectus supplement.

Application has been made to admit the new global bonds to listing on the Official List of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and to trading on the EuroMTF Market. The Republic cannot guarantee that the application to the Luxembourg Stock Exchange will be approved and settlement of the new global bonds is not conditioned on obtaining the listings.

Goldman, Sachs & Co. and J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. acted as dealer managers for the invitation and joint lead managers for the cash offering.

The Luxembourg exchange agent for the invitation was Deutsche Bank Luxembourg S.A., and the settlement agent was Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch.

The invitation is being made pursuant to the prospectus supplement and the prospectus, which are available on the SEC website at: http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1030717/000119312506185682/ d424b3.htm.

Before you invest, you should read the prospectus in that registration statement (file no. 333-133836), the prospectus supplement filed pursuant to such registration statement, and other documents that the Republic has filed with the SEC for more complete information about the Republic and this offering. You may get these documents for free by visiting EDGAR on the SEC website at www.sec.gov.
