Clarification of News Report

This refers to the request to clarify the news article in Business World entitled “Ayala group, Singapore firm to expand data center capacity by 5.2 MW”. It was reported in part that:

“ST TELEMEDIA Global Data Centres (STT GDC Philippines) announced on Tuesday that it will expand the capacity of its three data centers by 5.2 megawatts to cater to the growing local demand.

The expansion encompasses the three existing data centers located in Makati, Cavite, and Quezon City.

These data centers are part of a collaboration among Globe Telecom, Inc., Ayala Corp., and Singapore-based ST Telemedia Global Data Centers, known as STT GDC Philippines.

“The ever-growing demand for digital services has underscored the necessity for the private sector to actively contribute to the nation’s digital transformation,” said Carlomagno E. Malana, president and chief executive officer of STT GDC Philippines.

“This capacity expansion is part of the commitment made to support the government’s endeavors in delivering reliable and robust digital infrastructure to our fellow Filipinos,” he added.

The data center company said that it is seeking to expand its operations to accommodate global hyperscalers and other customer segments, while also creating more job opportunities, particularly in the fields of engineering, facilities, and energy management.

Ayala confirms that STT GDC Philippines is expanding capacities in its three existing data center locations in Makati, Cavite and Quezon City to cater to the growing demand from enterprises and hyperscalers. These existing sites are located at hotspot locations which are best suited for customers. Existing expansions are in addition to greenfield projects that the company is developing.
