Honolulu, Hawaii - February 9, 2026 - The debut event of the Data Center Operators of the Philippines (DCPH) at Pacific Telecommunications Council 2026 concluded with strong momentum, spotlighting the Philippines as the next premier digital destination in Southeast Asia. The landmark gathering brought together key leaders and professionals from the global telecommunications and digital infrastructure industries to underscore the nation’s readiness to support exponential digital growth.
Top executives from leading Data Center operators — VITRO Inc., ST Telemedia Global Data Centres (Philippines), YCO Cloud, Digital Halo, Digital Edge Philippines, and A-FLOW (a joint-venture partnership between FLOW Digital Infrastructure and AyalaLand Logistics Holdings Corp.) — convened to help advance the Philippines’ digital infrastructure and reinforce its competitiveness regionally and globally.

Victor S.

Demand for cloud, hyperscale, and emerging technologies like AI is only increasing, and with the right partnerships, infrastructure, and policies in place, we’re well positioned to support that growth.”
"For the first time at PTC, we are standing together as a unified industry to showcase that the Philippines is ready and has the collective capacity to meet global demand. By promoting the country as a strategic Data Center hub and leveraging robust government incentives from the BOI, we are ensuring we are equipped to support the massive infrastructure needs of the international digital economy," added Carlo Malana, Corporate Secretary of DCPH and President & CEO of ST Telemedia Global Data Centres.
