How hard is this claim to file?

To receive a payment from this securities class action settlement, you must have filed a Proof of Claim and Release Form by the claims deadline. No automatic payment is issued — only those who submitted a timely claim are eligible.

Watch out for

  • The claims filing deadline has passed — the settlement is in final distribution phase; contact the administrator to confirm whether late claims are accepted
  • Only purchasers or acquirers of PLDT American Depository Shares (ADS) during the class period are eligible — holders of ordinary shares or other instruments are not covered
  • The Final Report has already been submitted, indicating the claims review process is complete or near-complete

We prepare — you file on the official site yourself. This is not legal advice and is not an eligibility decision; the administrator and court decide.
