Manila, Philippines, 29 September — ePLDT, the ICT arm of PLDT, has taken a landmark step in shaping the AI-driven future of Philippine enterprises by partnering with Dell Technologies and Katonic AI to power Pilipinas AI, the country’s first sovereign AI solutions stack.
This milestone builds on ePLDT’s earlier launch of GPU-as-a-Service, which opened access to high-performance computing through NVIDIA-powered GPU servers. That capability has now evolved into Pilipinas AI, which integrates a complete GPU management platform with an AI orchestration layer, made possible in collaboration with Dell Technologies and Katonic AI.
“By working with trusted, world-class tech partners, we are putting the right foundation in place for Philippine enterprises to embrace AI with confidence. Pilipinas AI gives them access to computing power and advanced tools that help accelerate adoption, streamline operations, and drive innovation at scale,” said Victor S. Genuino, President & CEO of ePLDT and VITRO Inc.
With Pilipinas AI, organizations can tap into AI’s full potential without the burden of building or managing their own infrastructure. The solution helps enterprises overcome common barriers to adoption, including complex integration requirements and a shortage of AI expertise, allowing them to move faster, smarter, and more efficiently.
What makes Pilipinas AI distinct is its local foundation — hosted at VITRO Sta. Rosa, the country’s first AI-ready hyperscale data center, it ensures data and workloads remain within Philippine borders. This means enterprises and government agencies benefit from lower latency, enhanced performance, and a stronger layer of security — all while meeting local data privacy regulations and reinforcing national digital sovereignty.
Transforming industries, empowering the nation
Pilipinas AI is poised to make a significant impact on key industries, including banking and finance, business process outsourcing, healthcare, public services, and academia. Its capabilities can enable fraud detection, AI-driven weather forecasting, customer experience enhancements, and AI-assisted medical diagnostics, delivering immediate and tangible value across both private and public sectors.
“AI adoption is no longer a question of if, but when,” added Genuino. “With Pilipinas AI, we are making sure that when Philippine enterprises take that leap, they do so on solid ground — supported by secure infrastructure, trusted partners, and a vision for sustainable digital progress.”
As the Philippines accelerates toward an AI-enabled future, ePLDT’s AI solutions place the PLDT Group at the forefront of digital innovation. With world-class infrastructure and deep expertise, PLDT Group helps enterprises put advanced technologies to work — sharpening decisions, boosting competitiveness, and fueling real, lasting growth.”
