On December 19, 2022, Bloomberg reported that "[t]he Philippines' Securities and Exchange Commission has launched an inquiry into the 48-billion peso ($866 million) capital spending budget overrun at PLDT Inc. that triggered a record plunge in the stock amid questions over its corporate governance and fiscal control." "The budget overrun is almost equivalent to PLDT's combined 2020 and 2021 net income," Bloomberg added. The Philippine Daily Inquirer also reported that a number of top PLDT executives had been suspended while an investigation was underway with the help of a third-party auditor. Shares of PLDT Inc.
