Udenna Land, Inc. (ULI) and DITO Telecommunity Corporation (DITO) held a groundbreaking ceremony for the construction of DITO’s first Data Center in Clark Global City (CGC).
The groundbreaking ceremony was lead by ULI’s President Mr. Wilfredo Placino, DITO PMO Lead Mr. Benedicto Lacsamana, Retired Police General Manuel Gaerlan, and President and CEO of Clark Development Corporation.
As part of the DITO main campus headquarters, the Data Center will rise on the first hectare of its 8-hectare property.
In fulfilling a fully equipped network operations center, a serve-call center, regional center, and well-anticipated Research and Development (R&D), the center will be the main hub for research and development as DITO continues to improve internet connectivity in the country.
The proposed headquarters is expected to generate thousands of jobs at full completion.
“We are very pleased that DITO chose Clark Global City to be the home of the DITO Data Center. The decision of DITO is continued testament to CGC’s vision to create a smart, safe, and sustainable environment for Philippine and international businesses in the country,” ULI President Mr. Wilfredo Placino said.
Meanwhile, DITO PMO Lead Benedicto Lacsamana said that, ““The DITO Data Center is a critical component to sustain DITO’s commercial operations center, designed after Google’s campus-style headquarters: to hold operational departments, a Network Operations Center, its very own call center, and regional center, and this must be located in an ideal location.”
ULI is positioning CGC as the central business district of North and Central Luzon, with its proximity to the Clark International Airport and other critical transportation hubs, provisions for structures that are disaster-ready, plus access to skilled local talent pool.
