Google is bringing Chromebook production to the Philippines. The tech giant has partnered with Allied Corp. Asia Pacific to set up a manufacturing plant in Camarines Sur, inside the CamSur Uptown Global City. Operations are expected to kick off in 2026.
The facility will assemble Chromebooks and other education devices, starting with a capacity of 100,000 units per month. This can scale up to 200,000 units, which means more jobs for local technicians and support industries like logistics and after-sales services.
Local and national government support is already lined up. Incentives include training programs, preferential lease rates, and faster permit processing. The project also benefits from fiscal perks under the CREATE MORE Law, which aims to attract more investments to the countryside.
Education officials say locally made Chromebooks will help reduce supply delays and make sure devices reach classrooms faster, even in remote areas.
This move is part of a wider public-private partnership that also includes plans to provide devices, learning systems, and internet connectivity to public schools nationwide.
