Philippine data centre developer and operator A-FLOW – the [JV partnership](https://developingtelecoms.com/telecom-technology/data-centres-networks/13463-philippines-data-centre-development-targeted-in-new-deal.html) between PAG-owned FLOW Digital Infrastructure and AyalaLand Logistics (ALLHC) – has officially launched its first data centre in the Philippines, over a year after the facility was topped off. Located in Biñan, Laguna, approximately 35km south of Metro Manila, ML1 is the first of a planned three-building greenfield data centre campus with a total capacity of 36MW, with the first phase featuring an IT load capacity of 6MW. The ML1 data centre has been under construction since December 2022, and was [topped off in September 2024](https://developingtelecoms.com/telecom-technology/data-centres-networks/17266-a-flow-tops-off-its-first-data-centre-in-the-philippines-targets-q4-launch.html), with the initial expectation of starting operations in Q4 of that year. A-FLOW said the ML1 facility is scalable and customizable to meet diverse customer requirements, from colocation and enterprise users to cloud service providers. It’s also designed as a carrier-neutral facility with multiple points-of-entry that provide route redundancies and enhance network resilience. A-FLOW president Sanjay Goel said ML1 will provide an extension to the growing data centre cluster in Laguna, thus catering to the increasing demand for secure, scalable and resilient digital infrastructure in the era of cloud and AI adoption. "Data Centers like ML1 are catalysts for digital innovation across businesses, giving the Philippines a competitive advantage on the global stage,” he said in a statement issued by A-FLOW on Monday. Indeed, A-FLOW expects ML1 to contribute to the Philippine government’s ambitions to turn the country into a competitive digital hub for Southeast Asia. According to Boston Consulting Group, Southeast Asia’s data centre market is experiencing rapid growth with projections of demand to triple in the period between 2023 and 2030. The Philippine data centre market alone is projected to grow by a CAGR of 20.9% from 2024 to 2030, according to Research & Markets. ```json { "@context": "http:\/\/schema.org", "@graph": [ { "@type": "Article", "author": { "@id": "https:\/\/www.essential-reading.com\/#john_tanner_b807895845" }, "dateModified": "2025-12-09T04:59:18Z", "datePublished": "2025-12-09T04:55:47Z", "description": "Philippine data centre developer and operator A-FLOW – the JV partnership between PAG-owned FLOW Digital Infrastructure and AyalaLand Logistics (ALLHC) – has officially launched its first data centre in the Philippines, over a year after the facility was topped off.", "headline": "A-FLOW launches its first data centre in the Philippines", "image": [ { "@type": "ImageObject", "url": "https:\/\/developingtelecoms.com\/images\/stories\/NewsPix\/AFLOW_data_centre_launch_Laguna_600.jpg", "caption": "", "description": "A-FLOW launches its first data centre in the Philippines", "width": 600, "height": 450 } ], "inLanguage": "en-GB", "mainEntityOfPage": { "@type": "WebPage", "url": "https:\/\/www.essential-reading.com\/telecom-technology\/data-centres-networks\/19467-a-flow-launches-its-first-data-centre-in-the-philippines.html" }, "publisher": { "@id": "https:\/\/www.essential-reading.com\/#defaultPublisher" }, "url": "https:\/\/www.essential-reading.com\/telecom-technology\/data-centres-networks\/19467-a-flow-launches-its-first-data-centre-in-the-philippines.html" }, { "@type": "Person", "name": "John Tanner", "@id": "https:\/\/www.essential-reading.com\/#john_tanner_b807895845" }, { "@id": "https:\/\/www.essential-reading.com\/#defaultPublisher", "@type": "Organization", "url": "https:\/\/www.essential-reading.com\/", "logo": { "@id": "https:\/\/www.essential-reading.com\/#defaultLogo" }, "name": "Developing Telecoms" }, { "@id": "https:\/\/www.essential-reading.com\/#defaultLogo", "@type": "ImageObject", "url": "https:\/\/developingtelecoms.com\/images\/stories\/highResLogos\/dt-site-logo-440.png", "width": "440", "height": "122" } ] } ```
