Alcala Assistant, Listing and Disclosures Group Madam : We refer to your fax message regarding the news article which came out on March 30 at the Philippine Daily Inquirer, captioned "Wal-Mart wants 60% of Uniwide Holdings". LLphil While it is true that we are currently holding talks with some foreign retailers (Wal-Mart being one of them), such talks are exploratory in nature, the objective which is to identify possible areas of cooperation, in preparation for the possible lifting of the Retail Trade Law banning foreigners to engage in retail trade. We wish to emphasize, however, that the talks are merely preliminary and the discussions have not considered details, such as ownership structure. cdpr We trust you will find the foregoing clarifications in order. Very truly yours, (SGD.) SUSAN O. LIGERALDE Investor Relations Manager
