VITRO Sta. Rosa (VSR) is a data center project in Santa Rosa, Philippines, operated by VITRO Inc. (ePLDT / PLDT). It is operational. It is planned for 50 MW of IT load. The operator reports 10 MW running.
Latest change on record: moved to operational on 23 April 2025. Record last checked against its sources on 18 October 2026.
This project is built or running, so every gate counts as passed.
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 Sta. Rosa (VSR) ranks 5th 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 General Trias (PLDT 12th data center). It sits on the VITRO Sta. Rosa campus. Named funding comes from PLDT Inc. on the equity side. The named user of the compute is ePLDT GPU-as-a-Service (own platform) (reported, unconfirmed).
The dated record runs from under construction in March 2022 to operational on 23 April 2025. Power comes from Meralco through a dedicated substation at 115 kV.
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 8 public sources for this project, the latest dated 18 October 2026, and last checked the record on 18 October 2026.
Running capacity. The site is operational or expanding. The rules are fixed and published on the Methodology page.
Inaugurated 23 Apr 2025 as the Philippines' first hyperscale DC built specifically for AI workloads; equipped with NVIDIA-powered GPU servers and offers the country's first GPU-as-a-Service (GPUaaS). Actual GPU deployment on site = confirmed under the 4-tier rule.
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.
