16 August 2019, Taguig City, Philippines – DITO Telecommunity, the newly named partnership between Udenna and China Telecom, recently subleased an 8-hectare property in Clark Global City (CGC) to house its main Data Center.
The DITO Telecommunity Data Center, a critical component to begin DITO’s commercial operations, will be designed after Google’s campus-style headquarters, to hold operational departments, Network Operations Center, Servecall Center, and Regional Center. It will also serve as the hub for DITO’s R&D in the telecommunications space.

This project will generate significant employment – hiring 800 Filipinos in the first year all the way to a total of 4,500 locals on year 5. There will be an initial Php13.6 billion investment in the first year with an additional Php6.9 billion to be spent in the subsequent 4 years.

“We look forward to starting the construction in 3 months, as we are more than excited to spur business development in Clark. With the state-of-the-art DITO Data Center located at the heart of Clark Business District, local and foreign businesses will surely be encouraged to establish operations in CGC,” said Wilfredo Placino, President of Udenna Land.
