In compliance with an order of the NTC, the implementation of Memorandum Order No. 04-07-2018 for the migration of Landline numbers in area code 02 (Greater Metro Manila) from 7-Digits to 8-Digits has been deferred from 18 March 2019 to 06 October 2019.

Done at the request of the banking industry, this move was taken to ensure that all necessary preparations are in place for the migration process. Thank you for your understanding.
