That page is undated current-state documentation and states no hardware deployment dates, so the vintage is recorded as the access date, 2026-07-18. The compute-capacity figures are taken from that primary document rather than from secondary coverage.","The total sovereign research accelerator fleet is 22 GPUs, 16 A100 and 6 P40 — a research-support environment, orders of magnitude below regional sovereign clusters, against Thailand's 704 A100 for comparison. The record stands because the institutional layer (NAICRI) and the government-owned compute are both genuine, but it should not be read as implying frontier-scale capacity.","No program budget figure was found at tier 1 or 2, so no announced figure is recorded. NAICRI launch coverage carries no consolidated funding number.","The COARE utilization figure reported by PIA — 'GPU utilization increasing 54 percent since 2020 and more than doubling in the past year' — is a government news-agency statistic without disclosed base figures. It is context only, and is not carried as a metric.","The 'high' rating for BIS jurisdiction reach is a Scrutica analytic classification, not a sourced statement: the fleet is entirely US-origin NVIDIA silicon, so BIS re-export jurisdiction attaches.","This record covers the government research-compute and institutional layer only. It is distinct from the commercial Philippine data-center buildout, whose colocation sites are carried separately in the facilities catalog from PeeringDB and OpenStreetMap."],"last_validated_at":"2026-08-15"}
