Reliable digital infrastructure has become essential for industrial hubs that support global manufacturing and technology companies. To strengthen connectivity within one of the country’s largest economic zones, PLDT Enterprise has renewed and expanded its partnership with First Philippine Industrial Park (FPIP).
The collaboration aims to deliver stronger connectivity and integrated ICT solutions for businesses operating inside the industrial park. By extending its services to more locators, PLDT Enterprise hopes to help companies improve operational efficiency, enhance resilience, and accelerate their digital transformation strategies.
Supporting the Growth of an Expanding Industrial Hub
Located in Batangas, Philippines, FPIP is one of the country’s most established industrial parks. Since its founding in 1996, it has grown into a 500-hectare special economic zone that hosts multinational companies across industries such as aerospace, automotive, consumer goods, electronics, medical devices, and office equipment.
The park is a joint venture between First Philippine Holdings and Sumitomo Corporation. Together, these organizations have developed an industrial ecosystem that provides world-class infrastructure, utilities, and management services to support enterprise operations.
As more companies establish facilities within FPIP, reliable connectivity and digital solutions are becoming increasingly critical to ensure seamless operations.
Strengthening Digital Capabilities for Industrial Locators
According to Jay Lagdameo, Vice President and Head of Enterprise Domestic Business at PLDT Enterprise, the renewed partnership reinforces the company’s commitment to supporting the park’s rapidly growing community of businesses.
He shared that the collaboration allows PLDT Enterprise to expand its connectivity and ICT services to more enterprises within the park. These digital solutions are designed to help companies strengthen operational resilience and move forward with their digital initiatives.
Industrial parks today rely heavily on stable connectivity to manage production systems, coordinate supply chains, and maintain business continuity. By strengthening digital infrastructure, enterprises can operate more efficiently and stay competitive in global markets.
Enabling Reliable Infrastructure for Manufacturing and Technology Companies
FPIP continues to attract global leaders in manufacturing and semiconductor production. With the park’s ongoing expansion, ensuring scalable and reliable digital infrastructure is a top priority.
Ricky Carandang, Vice President and Head of Marketing, External Relations, and Communications at FPIP, emphasized that access to dependable connectivity is essential for companies operating within the park.
He explained that the renewed collaboration with PLDT Enterprise will allow more locators to benefit from enterprise-grade connectivity and ICT services, helping them sustain operations and remain competitive over the long term.
Expanding Connectivity Across the Industrial Ecosystem
PLDT Enterprise already provides several services to FPIP locators, including connectivity, technology infrastructure, and colocation services.
With the new agreement, the company plans to extend these services to additional enterprises inside the park. This expansion will help create a more connected industrial ecosystem where businesses can operate seamlessly and scale their digital capabilities.
As FPIP continues to grow, the strengthened partnership with PLDT Enterprise supports the development of a modern, digitally enabled business environment that benefits both local and global enterprises.
