Question
Manuel of Metro Bank asked for guidance on the company's refinancing activities for maturing debt and whether to anticipate an increase in interest rates.
Answer
Leo Posadas, SVP & Treasurer, acknowledged that current benchmark rates are high but explained that PLDT has successfully negotiated for tighter spreads.
