Expanding reach to support more locators with reliable connectivity and integrated ICT solutions

Batangas, Philippines — PLDT Enterprise announces its growing partnership with First Philippine Industrial Park (FPIP), reinforcing its commitment to support the industrial park’s growing ecosystem of locators with reliable connectivity and integrated digital solutions.

The renewed collaboration strengthens PLDT Enterprise’s ability to extend fixed and ICT services to more enterprises operating within FPIP—helping locators enhance productivity, strengthen operational resilience, and accelerate digital transformation initiatives. 

“Through the renewal of our partnership with FPIP, we look forward to further supporting and elevating the park’s expanding ecosystem with reliable connectivity and integrated digital solutions,” said Jay Lagdameo, Vice President and Head of Enterprise Domestic Business at PLDT Enterprise. “As FPIP continues to grow, we are positioned to help more enterprises strengthen operational resilience and accelerate their digital initiatives.”

A Commitment to Supporting Manufacturing and Semiconductor Enterprises

As one of the largest and fastest-growing industrial parks in the Philippines, FPIP plays a critical role in supporting manufacturing and semiconductor enterprises. Established in 1996, FPIP is a 500+ hectare special economic zone located in CALABARZON and is host to global leaders across sectors such as aerospace, automotive, consumer goods, electronics, medical devices, and office equipment. 

A joint venture between First Philippine Holdings (FPH) and Sumitomo Corporation, FPIP offers best-in-class infrastructure and utilities, industry-leading park management, and an established industrial ecosystem designed to enable locators to operate efficiently and competitively. 

As FPIP continues to expand and attract more locators, ensuring consistent, scalable digital infrastructure becomes increasingly critical. Industrial parks require reliable connectivity and integrated ICT solutions to support operational efficiency, business continuity, and seamless coordination across enterprises within the ecosystem. 

Ricky Carandang, VP and FPIP Head of Marketing, External Relations, and Communications, shared that the partnership supports the park’s continued expansion and locator needs. “Ensuring that our locators have access to scalable and reliable digital infrastructure is essential as FPIP continues to grow. The renewed collaboration with PLDT Enterprise enables more enterprises within the park to access enterprise-grade connectivity and ICT services that support their operations and long-term competitiveness.”

Expanding Digital Access Across the Park

PLDT Enterprise currently provides connectivity, technology, and colocation services to locators within FPIP.

With the renewed agreement, PLDT Enterprise is expected to expand its reach to serve additional locators within the park, positioning itself to support more enterprises with enterprise-grade connectivity and digital services—boosting FPIP’s growing industrial community with integrated connectivity and ICT solutions. 

As FPIP expands its industrial footprint, the renewed partnership with PLDT Enterprise supports a more connected and digitally enabled business ecosystem—helping enterprises operate more efficiently while contributing to the continued growth of one of the country’s leading industrial hubs.
