Build odds is ArusGrid's reading of the public record, not a forecast, a rating or advice. It counts the gates this project has passed in public sources. Private progress does not show, a passed gate can be undone, and projects that pass every gate still stop. The method has not yet been tested against outcomes. How it works.
How Philippines approves, powers and taxes data centers is on Data center rules in Philippines.
Greater Manila holds 9 active projects with 517 MW of planned IT load between them, and VITRO General Trias (PLDT 12th data center) ranks third by planned capacity. Of those, 6 are operational, 1 is at the land and permitting stage, 1 is announced only and 1 is on hold. Published colocation vacancy in Greater Manila was 43.6% as of June 2026, on 90 MW of operational colocation capacity as counted by Cushman & Wakefield. Vacancy excludes hyperscaler self-build.
VITRO (ePLDT) has 1 other in the Philippines tracked by ArusGrid, including VITRO Sta. Rosa (VSR). It sits on the VITRO General Trias campus. Named funding comes from PLDT Inc. on the equity side. No user of the capacity is on the public record as of 2026-10-01, after a check of operator, landlord, contractor, regulator and lender documents. Most colocation leases are confidential, so this says nothing about occupancy.
The stage was recorded as announced only on 8 May 2025. The money on record is PHP 40bn (about US$700m) as of April 2025, the announced investment.
Grid power for a large industrial user in the Philippines costs about US$0.12 per kWh as of July 2026, the country figure ArusGrid applies where a site has no published rate. The US export control position for advanced AI chips in the Philippines, as of 27 September 2026, is recorded as “No US destination-based licence requirement as enforced”. ArusGrid holds 9 public sources for this project, the latest dated 7 October 2026, and last checked the record on 21 October 2026.
Construction or financing is evidenced, or several independent signals agree. The rules are fixed and published on the Methodology page.
100MW modern greenfield hyperscale build by an operator that has already deployed GPU/AI capacity at VITRO Sta. Rosa; PLDT frames its DC expansion explicitly around AI demand. Inference only, no dated cooling/GPU spec for this site.
This country carries no US destination-based licence requirement for advanced AI chips as the rules are enforced today. Access is a commercial matter between the project and its vendors. Criteria are published on the Methodology page.

Checked on 2026-10-01. No user of this capacity is on the public record. ArusGrid read the operator's releases, the landlord's and contractors' exchange filings, regulator and lender documents and interconnection records. Most colocation leases are confidential, so this says nothing about occupancy.
Platform capital spans several sites. It is never added to this project's own figure.
No published price band exists for Philippines, and ArusGrid does not estimate from the regional benchmark alone. What was searched is listed on the Colo prices page.
