Thank you, Melissa, and good afternoon to everyone. Thank you for joining us today. I'm happy to start this full year 2021 financial operating highlights. I'll go to the first page. Again, I think it was extremely good performance for PLDT in 2001, record-breaking revenues, all-time high at $182.1 billion in revenues. For a growth of 6%, in peso terms, 10.6 billion incremental versus 2020. Annabelle will mention it later, but also an all-time high on EBITDA. Where we ended 2021 at 96.2 billion in EBITDA, 8% growth, or 7.4 billion increase versus 2020, and margins of 52% EBITDA margins. Cornet Income, we ended last year at $30.2 billion, ahead of guidance of $30 billion, 8% growth, or $2.1 billion. And among the three pillars of the business, home grew the most, 24%, a strong year for home, $38.5 billion last year, growing by $9.3 billion in best of terms, ending 2021 at $47.2 billion. Individual ended the year flat despite the major challenges of the lockdowns. Our customers opting to obviously to stay home and opting for a broadband service. So there was a shift in behavior because of the lack of mobility in the country. But having said that, So what were the drivers for the performance last year? Again, very resilient business across the three major pillars. We saw a 1.13 million new fiber subs traditional for last year. Home subscriber base is now at 3 million, an increase of 27%. And if we just focus on fiber revenues alone, it grew by 82%, or $14.9 billion, ending the year on fiber alone at $33 billion last year. For individual, we reached the 1 million mark for 5G, but we will continue to push adoption of 5G. We did grow in market share of 5.9% in fixed wireless, also reaching the 1 million level in terms of subs.
