Leading telecommunications firm Philippine Long Distance Telephone Co. (PLDT) is building a data back-up center worth P1.3 billion inside the Clark Freeport in Angeles city in Pampanga province, aiming to maintain seamless connectivity in the event of a major disaster in the country.

Due for completion by March next year, the building will have 1,200 racks of data, with the building designed in a way that can withstand an intensity-9 earthquake, including floods, fire, storm and other disasters, according to a report submitted recently by PLDT’s VITRO Clark Manager Lito Mercado to Clark Development Corp. (CDC) President Arthur Tugade.
