Thank you, Melissa, and good afternoon to everyone, and thank you for joining us today. Today, we would like to present our nine months to 2020 financial operating results. I will start off with a short presentation, then I will pass off to Annabelle for the financial highlights. So as we all know, we are still in an environment when COVID is still upon us. So there are still people who are suffering. You know, unemployment is very high and we understand the condition that we are still in today. Having said that, next page, please. Obviously, internet connectivity has been very critical during this time. It is the foundation for us for the digital economy. We have been working very hard to actually start off digital ecosystems that are needed by our cost. So we've been, these nine months, we've been very laser-focused in terms of, you know, coming out with customer-driven product and service innovations. We continue to invest in our network even after the lockdown. Initially, during the lockdown, as you know, we had problems in our mobility, but now that after the lockdown, we're able to restart our network projects. So we are continuing with our nationwide fiber rollout. And as we also indicated during the first half report, we have embarked on an ADSL to fiber migration. During this time, we also launched commercially are 5G in certain sites. So we will continue to roll this out as we speak and also for the next few years. And at LTE, which is still a focus this year, close to 99% of cell sites that are LTE-enabled already. So we want to make sure we secure our network superiority. Today, we cover 96% for the wireless population coverage. We cover 96% population coverage for wireless. We do have the most extensive fiber footprint in the country. We've added to the numbers that we presented during the first half presentation. So now, after the third quarter, we are now at 395,000 kilometers of fiber, cables late, and we will continue to expand this, and this will reach 400,000 towards the end of the year. and we will continue to roll out even first quarter next year. We have past, homes past 8.3 million and 3.84 million ports. We also have the nation's widest mobile data coverage with 9,892 cell sites, 56,799 base stations, 95 core and data centers and three cable landing stations. All these metrics will obviously continue to expand cell sites, base stations and also landing stations will grow to, I think, five by next year.

So we measure ourselves against competition.
