The Board of Investments (BOI) lauded the inauguration of VITRO Sta. Rosa (VSR)—the country’s first hyperscale data center equipped to support Artificial Intelligence (AI) workloads—as a game-changing development that strengthens the country’s digital infrastructure and positions the Philippines as a leading digital hub in Southeast Asia.
VSR was registered with the BOI on June 10, 2024 under the Corporate Recovery and Tax Incentives for Enterprises (CREATE) Act.
President Ferdinand Marcos, Jr. and Department of Trade and Industry Secretary Cristina Roque joined PLDT Chairman Manuel V. Pangilinan in the inauguration ceremony on April 23.
“With the launch of VITRO Sta. Rosa, the Philippines firmly positions itself at the forefront of digital innovation in the region. This world-class facility reflects our readiness to host global technology leaders and compete in the regional digital economy. The availability of cutting-edge AI infrastructure will empower businesses to accelerate innovation, scale operations, and drive inclusive growth. Most importantly, it will open up high-value job opportunities for Filipinos and solidify our position as a prime destination for future-ready investments,” said Roque.
