Government posture
The retrieved primary sources are stronger on research and infrastructure implementation than on a final officially published National AI Strategy Roadmap 2.0 text.
Southeast Asia
Philippines
The strongest official Philippine evidence captured here is implementation-oriented under DOST-ASTI: an AI project portfolio page, the February 2026 launch of NAICRI, and a year-one flagship-program article linking NAICRI to ACABAI-PH.
Standards and evaluation
No official national testing or assurance regime comparable to Singapore’s was directly captured here. The public evidence instead points to infrastructure, research coordination, and application development.
Research ecosystem
NAICRI is explicitly framed as a national institutional anchor, and DOST-ASTI’s AI page shows active application-building work including ASTI-ALaM under SkAI-Pinas.
International engagement
The sources retrieved here do not directly document a cross-border Philippine AI governance mechanism; they do show institutional scaling and national infrastructure-building.

Open questions
- Direct official publication of the Philippines National AI Strategy Roadmap 2.0, if finalised.
- Public governance documents for ACABAI-PH, including mandate, membership, and implementation structure.
- Whether NAICRI has published service offerings, compute-access rules, or data-governance policies.
