ORDER
                      
            Adopted: June 16, 1998;               Released: June 16, 1998 

     By the Chief, Formal Complaints and Investigations Branch, Enforcement Division,
Common Carrier Bureau:        

     1.     On September 16, 1997, the Philippine Long Distance Telephone Company
("PLDT") filed a Supplemental Complaint for Damages against International Telecom, Ltd., d/b/a/
Kallback Direct ("ITL"), in the above-captioned proceeding, seeking damages for ITL's unlawful
provision of international service, utilizing the uncompleted call signaling configuration of call-
back, to the Philippines from November 22, 1994, until July 21, 1997, when ITL ceased such
actions.  PLDT has subsequently determined that it no longer wishes to pursue its claim for
damages, and on June 4, 1998, the complainant filed a motion to withdraw its supplemental
complaint.

     2.     We are satisfied that granting the PLDT's request to withdraw its supplemental
complaint will serve the public interest by eliminating the need for further litigation and the
expenditure of further time and resources by the parties and the Commission.  

     3.     Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED, pursuant to Sections 4(i), 4(j), and 208 of the
Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C.  154(i), 154(j), 208, and the authority
delegated in Sections 0.91 and 0.291 of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R.  0.91, 0.291, that
PLDT's Motion for Leave to Withdraw the Supplemental Complaint for Damages IS GRANTED
WITH PREJUDICE.  

     4.     IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the above-captioned proceeding IS
TERMINATED.
