Context
These were small, open‑market sales reported by PLDT’s CEO. Sales of this size are often routine and do not by themselves indicate a change in insider sentiment about the company. For retail investors, purchases typically carry more informational weight than modest open‑market sales; this filing should be viewed as factual disclosure of insider activity rather than a market signal.
