Filipinohomes Bacolod Team Bids Farewell to CEO Anthony Leuterio as Packed May 6 visit Draws to a Close

BACOLOD CITY – As the evening of May 6, 2026, wound down, Filipinohomes Bacolod agents and branch staff gathered to bid farewell to founder and CEO Anthony “Boss Ton” Gerard O. Leuterio, who departed for Cebu after a day packed with milestones. In a social media post, the team expressed their thanks: “Thank you Boss @Anthony Orais Leuterio. Have a safe flight going back to Cebu.”

The farewell capped a whirlwind visit that began with the opening of Filipinohomes’ 142nd office at Corner Burgos‑Lacson Street in Barangay 18. The morning was followed by a record‑breaking “Build Wealth in Real Estate” seminar at Ayala Central Hall, drawing 300 aspiring agents. Leuterio then held strategic talks with Suntrust Properties Inc., a subsidiary of Megaworld, regarding its La Sonrisa community inside the P8‑billion “The Sugartown” township. In the evening, he hosted a dinner meeting for unit managers and team leaders at L Fisher Hotel’s Chalet 1, where the leadership reviewed progress and aligned second‑quarter targets.

A day of gratitude and growth

The Bacolod team’s farewell message reflected the strong bond between the local sales force and the network’s leadership. Agents lined up to thank Leuterio for his hands‑on mentorship and for personally overseeing the network’s aggressive expansion in Negros Occidental. Unit managers noted that the CEO’s presence had energized the branch, which now has a larger, better‑trained sales force ready to serve Bacolod’s growing real estate market.

The visit came at a time when Bacolod’s property market is accelerating – with SMDC turning over 1,100 units at Smile Residences, the Panaad Festival posting record sales, and upcoming MassKara Festival expected to drive tourism and short‑term rental demand. The new 142nd office and the 300 newly trained agents add to the network’s capacity to capture these opportunities.

Looking ahead

As Leuterio boarded his flight back to Cebu, the Bacolod team wasted no time. Unit managers began assigning new agents to mentors, and the branch scheduled follow‑up product knowledge sessions with developer partners. The day’s events – from office opening to seminar to leadership dinner – had laid a strong foundation for the weeks ahead.

For the Bacolod team, the farewell was not an end but a launchpad. “Together, we build more than homes. We build futures,” the team’s post read, echoing the network’s mission. With the CEO’s guidance fresh in their minds, the branch is now poised to turn the May 6 momentum into sustained success.
