Philippine Numbering/Dialing Plan

After messing about at length trying to find an authoritive source for this information and finding that nothing seemed to exist... Here's what information I have... let me know if you are aware of any issues.
Update (August 2022): Metro Manila numbers had a digit inserted at the start of the subscriber number in 2019 and Dito launched as a mobile telco.

Overview

The country code for the Philippines is 63.
The international trunk access code is 00.
The national/long distance trunk access code is 0.
Subscriber numbers within an area code are typically 7 digits long, while area codes can vary in length from 1 digit to 3 digits, as such, phone numbers are not of a fixed length.
Within an area code the 7 digit subscriber number can be dialled without the area code or national/long distance trunk access code.

Numbers should be written in one of the following formats
For landline access within a single area code only:
<subscriber number> e.g. 1234567 or 123 4567
For access from any phone in the country:
<national/long distance trunk access code><areacode> <subscriber number> e.g. 02 1234567 or 02 123 3456
For access from anywhere in the world:
+<country code> <area code> <subscriber number> e.g. +63 2 1234567 or +63 2 123 4567
A less correct form of the above that could be used to make it easier for people to see where the national/long distance trunk access code should be placed:
+<country code> (<national/long distance trunk access code>)<area code> <subscriber number> e.g. +63 (0)2 1234567 or +63 (0)2 123 4567

Numbers SHOULD NOT be written in the following screwed up format which only seems to exist to make Metro Manila numbers look like US numbers...
(<country code><area code>) <subscriber number> e.g. (632) 123 4567 - that's just wrong...

Special Numbers

Emergency numbers

The national standard emergency number is 117. This can also be texted from mobile phones.
From mobile phones at least 112 and 911 can also used.
In addition there are a large number of individual hotline numbers used for various emergency services, 3 and 5 digit numbers exist.
e.g.
116 - Tourist police ??
166 - Old national emergency number ??
757 - Fire and Police ??
16-211 - Meralco hotline for emergencies and customer service
16-911 - Lifeline Rescue emergency ambulance service within Metro Manila only

Freephone/Tollfree numbers

Free to call/Toll free numbers are few and far between in the Philippines... a major reason would likely be that calls are typically free within an area code, so if you are in Metro Manila you can call everyone else in Metro Manila with a landline for free... Another reason has to be the obviously screwed up ways they've been implemented...
Format a)
1800 <8 digit number> e.g. 1800 1234 5678
Format b)
1027 1800 <7 digit number> e.g. 1027 1800 123 4567
Both formats make very little sense...

Hotlines

There are a number of additional hotlines in addition to the emergency numbers above, some are free, others aren't... Some of those are...

1342 - LTFRB 24/7 hotline
136 - MMDA hotline
143 - Red Cross hotline
161 - Marikina Station Tactical Operations Center (STOC) hotline
1627 - Manila Water hotline
165-02 - Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) hotline
171 - PLDT customer service hotline (tollfree - 8-7 mon-fri, 8-5 sat/sun)
172 - PLDT DSL helpdesk (tollfree - 24hrs)
173 - PLDT repair service hotline (tollfree - 8-7 mon-fri, 8-5 sat/sun)
187 - PLDT directory assistance (3 pesos per transaction - 8-5 7days/week)
7890 - DOTC Public Assistance Center hotline

PLDT #MyNumber

PLDT in early 2016 introduced a strange new national hotline service called #MyNumber. It's strange due to the fact that numbers start with '#' followed by 4-8 digits.

e.g.
#87000 - Jollibee
