BCDA president and CEO Joshua Bingcang said data centers, if established within the Pax Silica site, would mainly support semiconductor companies operating there and would not be large hyperscale facilities serving global customers. It will be for something which the New Clark City is really built for — predominantly, it will be for industrial use,” Bingcang said during a briefing in New Clark City, Tarlac on Friday, Aug. 7. Bingcang said major data centers that may eventually be developed in New Clark City would be separate from the Pax Silica initiative. Pax Silica is a US-led international initiative aimed at developing trusted supply chains for technologies underpinning artificial intelligence, including semiconductors and critical minerals. Rodolfo said participation in Pax Silica is non-binding, allowing countries to withdraw from the initiative.
