Why prices sit where they do

The Philippines prices off domestic demand rather than regional transit, which makes it structurally unlike Singapore or Johor. The tenants are outsourcing operations, banks, telcos and government, all serving users inside the country, so capacity is absorbed locally instead of resold as regional interconnection. We track 4 facilities holding 234 MW: 2 in Manila, plus Santa Rosa and Malvar in the Laguna-Batangas corridor where the larger footprints land, run by ePLDT, STT GDC, Digital Edge and YCO, with 3 of the 4 marketed as AI-ready. Submarine cables landing on Luzon give the market real international capacity, but the domestic carrier bench is short, so interconnection is negotiated rather than shopped. The decisive diligence item is resilience, not rate: typhoon exposure and grid interruption make generator fuel autonomy, flood elevation and the site's own outage history the questions that set the shortlist. We publish no tariff here, so model power from the operator's pass-through terms.
