Strengthening the Digital Path for the Philippines

On November 6, 2025, Globe Telecom and Amazon Web Services (AWS) took a significant step forward to enhance digital capabilities in the Philippines. This move aligns with a growing need for localized cloud services and stronger data sovereignty measures. Hosted at the Shangri-la Hotel in Bonifacio Global City, the announcement emphasized Cloud adoption that ensures customer data security. Carl Cruz, Globe CEO, stated, “Our policy has always been to collaborate with those who prioritize the utmost protection of customer data.”

Navigating Data Sovereignty

As new data sovereignty legislation looms, ensuring that data remains within local jurisdiction is a hot topic. AWS’s Philippine country manager, Precious Lim, noted the importance of understanding and complying with evolving data rules, although there is no mandatory requirement yet. AWS is making headway by investing in local infrastructure like AWS Outposts and the Manila Local Zone, boosting capability for domestic data management. Lim also hinted at further investments based on future regulatory updates and client feedback.
