Amid AI data center boom, Schneider Electric Philippines and Digital Edge deliver SEA’s first dual-certified facility with NARRA1

The Philippines’ data center market is expanding quickly as Artificial Intelligence (AI) adoption drives the need for faster, more resilient, and sustainable infrastructure. To meet this rising demand, Schneider Electric, a global technology leader, and Digital Edge, a leading data center platform, accelerates the rollout of next-generation facilities, with NARRA1 emerging as Southeast Asia’s first data center to earn dual global certifications—setting a new benchmark for performance and sustainability in the region.

NARRA1, Southeast Asia’s first data center to earn dual global certifications located in Laguna Technopark, Biñan, was modernized by Digital Edge and Schneider Electric with resilient, energy-efficient systems to ensure stable operations amid rising AI and cloud workloads.

Driven by the rapid adoption of AI, cloud computing, and data-intensive services, the Philippine data center colocation market is projected to grow at a 36% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) through 2028, making the market increasingly energy-intensive and driving up electricity costs for operators. As global players turn their attention to the Philippines, facilities that can demonstrate reliable, cost-efficient, and sustainable operations are becoming central to the country’s competitiveness and appeal to investors.

“At Schneider Electric, we equip operators with advanced energy management and infrastructure solutions, helping make the Philippines a competitive destination for data center investment and enabling facilities like NARRA1 to meet the high standards of enterprises and hyperscale customers,” said Ireen Catane, Country President of Schneider Electric Philippines.

Positioned within Laguna Technopark in Biñan, Laguna, NARRA1 was modernized and scaled by Schneider Electric in partnership with Digital Edge, using efficient systems. Leveraging its global expertise in mission-critical environments, Schneider Electric integrated automatic transfer switches (ATS), uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), and transformers to ensure stable power, built-in redundancy, and reliable operations. These solutions gave operators greater visibility, control, and predictability over energy use, enabling them to optimize efficiency, maintain uptime, and confidently scale operations to support growing AI and cloud workloads.

Aside from operational resilience and efficiency, sustainability is built into NARRA1’s design, which runs on 100% renewable energy and Schneider Electric-enabled high-efficiency electrical systems. With a market-leading annualized design Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) of 1.19, far below the global average of 1.6, the facility cuts electricity use by 16 million kilowatt-hours annually, lowering operational costs and carbon emissions. Water efficiency measures further cut usage by 44 million gallons per year, equivalent to nearly 80 Olympic-size swimming pools, allowing to conserve local resources while helping customers meet Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) commitments without compromising performance. 

As a result, NARRA1 became the first facility in Southeast Asia to secure two globally recognized certifications:

• ANSI/TIA-942-C Rated 3 Certification, recognizing world-class resilience, security, and operational quality; and

• EDGE (Excellence in Design for Greater Efficiencies) Certification from the International Finance Corporation (IFC), awarded to facilities achieving more than 20% efficiency in energy, water, and embodied carbon.
  
  

NARRA1 also earned LEED Gold certification, an internationally recognized standard by the U.S. Green Building Council, making it the Philippines’ first triple-green-certified data center with EDGE, LEED, and BERDE (Building for Ecologically Responsive Design Excellence).

“Five years ago, we were building in the middle of a global pandemic amid uncertainty, supply-chain disruptions, and lockdowns,” said Vic Barrios, President of Digital Edge DC Philippines. “We needed partners who could deliver on time, uphold quality, and adapt with us in an environmentally complex market—one that embeds sustainability in their operations and that we could rely on end-to-end to build future-ready facilities.”

NARRA1 is the country’s only true carrier-neutral regional data center, hosting all major telecommunications providers and internet service providers.

With a globally benchmarked design, NARRA1 demonstrates the country’s capability to provide reliable data center solutions that meet the needs of enterprises and hyperscale operators. Supported by a digital population, growing data demand, and its strategic location in Southeast Asia, the Philippines is poised to become a regional hub for digital infrastructure.

Schneider Electric works with businesses, operators, and developers to build energy-efficient, and sustainable data centers, positioning the Philippines to lead the next wave of AI-driven growth in Southeast Asia.

OPPO Find X9 Breaks the Barriers of Mobile Photography

 

Redefining what a flagship smartphone camera can achieve, the OPPO Find X9 sets a new standard for mobile imaging with its innovative capability to capture full-resolution 50MP hotos by default, delivering unprecedented clarity without relying on shooting modes or manual tweaks.

This breakthrough delivers unprecedented clarity and detail, with 8K-level resolution across all three rear lenses every time you press the shutter, marking the brand’s biggest leap in camera innovation yet. It is designed specifically for creators, visual storytellers, and photography enthusiasts in mind. 

Delivering Professional- Grade Quality with the LUMO Image Engine

While most smartphones downscale images to 12MP due to processing limits, the OPPO Find X9 overcomes this barrier with an industry-first imaging pipeline powered by the LUMO Image Engine. All rear cameras now capture crisp, ultra-clear 50MP photos by default, preserving deep textures, sharp edges, and rich detail even after heavy cropping or zooming. To fully appreciate its exceptional quality, users can tap the 8K icon that appears when viewing their photos in the default Photos app for a level of clarity and resolution previously only associated with professional cameras.

Meanwhile, LUMO’s real-time parallel processing enables the CPU, GPU, ISP, and NPU to work simultaneously, enhancing clarity while cutting power consumption by up to 50 percent. This results in balanced highlights, clean shadows, and impressive detail retention even in complex lighting conditions.

Refining Creative Expression Through the Hasselblad Master Camera System

At the core of the OPPO Find X9’s imaging capabilities is the Hasselblad Master Camera System, which brings professional-grade engineering to smartphone photography. The system includes:

• 50MP Main Camera with an ultra-large sensor for enhanced light intake

• 50MP Ultra-Wide Camera capable of capturing sweeping landscapes with zero distortion

• 50MP Periscope Telephoto Camera featuring OPPO’s Triple Prism Lens and 120x Super Zoom for astounding long-range shot results

The collaboration with Hasselblad ensures natural color calibration, beautifully rendered portraits, and deeper tones that reflect the iconic look of Hasselblad cameras. Features like Hasselblad XPAN Mode, Master Mode, and enhanced bokeh simulation provide depth and artistic control for creators.

Revealing True-to-Life Color Through Advanced Spectral Sensing

OPPO Find X9’s True Color Camera supports the 50MP default mode. It is an innovative sensor equipped with two million spectral pixels that analyze color temperature across a refined grid. This ensures that skin tones, neon signs, sunsets, and indoor lighting appear as close as possible to how the eye sees them, providing accuracy that is difficult to achieve on typical mobile cameras.

Colors are rendered naturally, without overly saturated processing, creating images that stand out in their authenticity and tonal balance.

Empowering New Perspectives With 120x Super Zoom

The OPPO Find X9 delivers dependable detail even at extreme distances through its 120x Super Zoom. Using a combination of optical zoom, sensor-level processing, and OPPO’s Super Resolution algorithm, the phone allows users to capture subjects far across the city skyline or fine details across a concert venue. Images remain clear and stable, unlocking creative perspectives normally accessible only with professional telephoto lenses.

A Fusion of Artistry and Engineering

The OPPO Find X9 embodies a design philosophy that brings together art, precision, and intelligent engineering. Its camera innovations are paired with a powerful performance core, ideal for Filipinos who rely on their smartphones to capture their stories.

The OPPO Find X9 (16GB + 512GB) is available nationwide through OPPO’s physical stores, e-commerce platforms on Shopee, Lazada, TikTok, and the official OPPO online store.

Life in Manila captured with vivo X300 Pro

 

Manila-based multi-award-winning photographer Jamir Lyndon Lumbao is capturing everyday life with striking clarity, powered by vivo X300 Pro Photographer Kit. By profession, Lumbao works in the financial sector, but his creative journey began in 2014 when a friend invited him to join a photography group. What started as a simple introduction soon grew into a passion for street photograph - one that continues to shape how he sees the world. “Street photography challenges me to capture candid moments, raw emotions, and real-life situations. It allows me to tell stories through unplanned and natural scenes, which I find both exciting and meaningful,” he said. Inspired by renowned photographers and local creatives, Lumbao developed a style that blends artistic expression with technical precision. His work focuses on light and shadows, reflections, and telephoto compositions, often transforming everyday Manila scenes into images with an abstract and surreal mood. “I would describe my photography style as creative and expressive, influenced by my background in art,” he said. This vision is elevated by the Telephoto King vivo X300 Pro, powered by a 200MP ZEISS APO Telephoto Camera. Built for capturing distant subjects with striking clarity and depth, the device has earned global recognition, including a top score in DxOMark’s telephoto evaluation. For Lumbao, the difference is clear when shooting in real-world city conditions. “My experience with the vivo X300 Pro Photographer Kit in real-world city shooting was excellent. It’s a clear upgrade from my X100, especially for capturing distant subjects, and the telephoto extender makes it incredibly easy to get sharp, detailed shots from far away,” he shared. The vivo X300 Pro supports 85mm optical zoom and, when paired with the vivo ZEISS 2.35x Telephoto Extender, expands its reach up to 5400mm. Engineered with advanced optics, the extender enhances clarity, minimizes distortion, and enables photographers to capture scenes that would otherwise be out of reach. Complementing this capability is the vivo PGYTECH Imaging Grip Kit, designed to provide better control, comfort, and endurance for creators on the move. “The standout features for me were definitely the grip and the lens, and together they completely transform the shooting experience. The grip feels incredibly comfortable and secure in hand, making long shooting sessions much easier, and the physical controls for exposure compensation, zoom, and video give you a more precise, camera-like feel that makes capturing moments quicker and more intuitive,” Lumbao shared. Beyond ergonomics, the lens itself delivers a noticeable leap in image quality, especially for distant subjects. “What really takes it to the next level, though, is the lens. It delivers stunning clarity and detail, especially when shooting distant subjects, allowing you to capture scenes that would normally be out of reach. The added reach, combined with sharp image quality and excellent depth, makes every shot look more professional,” Lumbao said. One of Lumbao’s most memorable moments highlights the power of this setup. While photographing a sunset, he noticed a subject from afar and quickly adjusted his position to frame the scene. He shared, “This was one of my most memorable shots. I was photographing the sunset when I noticed a subject on the other side. I quickly moved to the spot and carefully aligned the subject inside the sun. The light was changing fast, and I thought I might miss the moment since the sun was setting so quickly.” With the telephoto extender, he was able to capture the shot with precision and clarity. “Thanks to the tele extender on the vivo X300 Pro, I was able to zoom in from a distance and frame the shot perfectly without losing detail. It gave me the reach and clarity I needed to capture this precise moment, turning it into a truly special and unforgettable image,” he added. Through Lumbao’s work, the vivo X300 Pro Photographer Kit demonstrates how advanced mobile imaging can empower creators to capture stories as they unfold, combining reach, precision, and creative freedom in a single device. As Manila continues to move in rhythm with light, life, and emotion, tools like the vivo X300 Pro are helping photographers turn everyday moments into lasting visual stories. The vivo X300 Series is available in concept stores nationwide and online via the vivo e-store (X300 and X300 Pro), Lazada, and Shopee at a starting price of Php 68,999.

Over 7k vivo V70 units sold in 3-day nationwide rollout

 

The vivo V70 sold over 7,000 units nationwide in its first three days from March 14 to 16, 2026, marking a strong debut and outpacing its predecessor by 25%. This surge highlights robust demand from early adopters and loyal vivo users eager to upgrade, signaling a confident start for the brand’s latest release. Why Filipinos are upgrading to V70 For many Filipinos, upgrading a smartphone is more than a trend, it’s a practical choice that enhances daily routines, work, and personal interests. Lorlyn Romano, a small business owner from Sta. Rosa, Laguna, upgraded from the V60 to the V70 because of its better 50MP ZEISS Super Telephoto Camera, equipped with AI features. "Maganda na yung camera ng V60, pero mas pinaganda at pinalinaw pa ni V70 with AI Magic Weather. Mahilig kasi ako sa photography… importante sa akin yung camera, performance, battery life, at storage." She added that pre-ordering helped her secure the exact color she wanted. “Na-experience ko na maubusan ng color dati with V60, kaya nag pre-order na ako ngayon para sigurado ang Golden Hour colorway ko," she shared.  For Charice Vargas, a studio administrator, the V70 was her first upgrade in four years. "Excited na ako mag-upgrade after four years with my vivo V27. Bonus na lang yung freebies kasi I'm eyeing sa free buds, pero na-surprise ako kasi may kasama pang soundbar." She also highlighted the phone’s performance in daily use. "Camera talaga. Ang linaw ng video kahit naka-zoom up to 20x. Tapos ang tagal ng battery, perfect for everyday use," she said.  For Andrew Jay J. Tomaquin from Cebu City, the V70 proved to be a worthwhile investment. Originally planning to purchase the V60, he decided to wait for the newer release and found the upgrade justified. “Nung lumabas yung V70, doon ko na ginamit yung ipon ko. Yung zoom at 4K 60fps sobrang ganda lalo na sa videos, ” he shared.  Having used vivo Y series devices over the years, reliability played a key role in his decision. He said, "Alam kong matibay talaga pag vivo, kaya para sa akin investment na rin itong V70 ko.” With its strong 3-day performance and positive consumer feedback, the vivo V70 sets the tone for a promising year ahead showing that smartphones can be both innovative and genuinely relevant to daily life. Upgrade your smartphone today! The vivo V70 is now available at a starting price of Php 31,999 in vivo concept stores nationwide and through online platforms such as the vivo e-store, Shopee, Lazada, and TikTok Shop.
