The Clark International Airport Corp. (CIAC) lauded DITO Telecommunity Corp.’s P20.5 billion infrastructure investment in Clark as “a welcome respite to interrupted businesses because of the pandemic”.
DITO’s Google campus-inspired data center which recently broke ground at the Clark Global City will further boost business activities in Clark, according to CIAC president Aaron Aquino.
The mixed-use business district, Clark Global City, is located within the Clark Civil Aviation Complex owned and managed by the CIAC.
“The government needs to keep the economy running even as we battle the pandemic and DITO’s ideal investment here at the strategic and disaster-resilient Clark Global City has a cascading impact on driving employment and attracting multiple local and foreign investments,” he explained.
The aviation complex is also home to the privately-run Clark International Airport, transport hubs, and several locators in cargo and aviation-related businesses.
“There’s a sharp growth in the consumption of communications services and DITO showcases the importance of always-on connectivity and job generation,” Aquino pointed out.
DITO is initially investing P13.6-billion in the first year, with an additional P6.9 billion in the subsequent four years.
The telco is hiring 800 workers in the first year, most likely residents of cities and towns surrounding Clark, and up to 4,500 locals on its fifth year of operations.
Aside from the state-of-the-art data center, DITO’s eight-hectare operations center will include a serve-call center, a regional center and a research and development facility.
Ang laki ng investment ni DITO sa Clark Global City (CGC) and in 5 years, pag medyo controlled na ang pandemic, around 5,000 to 100,000 plus ang employees ng DITO, together with the full operation of 5 Aero Park buildings and the NSCR Clark Station, medyo mabubuhay na ang foot traffic sa CGC, pwede na tayuan ng mga Hotels and Malls na naka plano na rin. Even SM has a huge leased lot in CGC.
