Rent.ph Masterclass in Bacolod Caps Day of Learning with 15 Winners

BACOLOD CITY – A full day of learning and camaraderie in Bacolod reached its peak on the afternoon of July 15, 2026, as Filipinohomes COO and Rent.ph Managing Director May Antonette Leuterio led a dynamic Rent.ph Masterclass. The session turned eager agents into certified rental professionals and ended with a touching wave of gratitude for the network’s founder.

Mastering the Rental Management Cycle

The classroom buzzed with energy as Leuterio guided participants through every stage of rental management. Agents practiced tenant screening, learning to verify income and rental histories quickly. They also drafted sample lease agreements, ensuring every clause complied with Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development regulations.

Pricing strategies took center stage next. Trainers showed how to use real‑time market data to set competitive rates that maximize occupancy. The hands‑on exercises helped agents understand that an empty unit earns nothing, while a well‑priced property attracts steady tenants. The Rent.ph dashboard became their new command center.

Cash Prizes and Heartfelt Gratitude

Fifteen agents received a surprise boost when their names were called for ₱1,000 cash prizes, igniting cheers across the room. Leuterio personally handed out the rewards, a gesture that reinforced the network’s culture of recognizing effort and achievement. The tangible reward punctuated an afternoon of intense learning.

As the session wound down, the Bacolod team gathered to send a heartfelt chat message to CEO Anthony Leuterio. “Thank you, Boss Ton,” they wrote, expressing genuine appreciation for the opportunities the network has created. The simple but sincere words captured the loyalty and spirit that define Filipinohomes.

A Day of Learning from Morning to Afternoon

The masterclass was the second half of a day that began with a warm welcome for the visiting leaders. Agents had cheered Leuterio and her entourage hours earlier, and the camaraderie carried straight into the classroom. The seamless transition from celebration to skill‑building reflected the team’s eagerness to grow.

By the end of the afternoon, participants left with more than technical knowledge. They walked out with a clear pathway to Rent Manager certification and the confidence to manage properties for landlords across the city. The certification grants them immediate visibility in Rent.ph’s database of trusted professionals.

Bacolod’s Booming Rental Market Needs Skilled Managers

Bacolod’s real estate landscape is expanding rapidly. Major township projects like PHINMA’s Saludad and SMDC’s Smile Residences are adding thousands of units, while the MassKara Festival and improved airport connectivity fuel tourism demand. Owners increasingly need skilled managers to handle tenant placement and short‑term vacation rentals.

The city’s short‑term rental segment now boasts over 1,500 active listings, with hosts earning solid revenues. Certified rent managers who understand both long‑term leases and vacation stays are positioned to capture this dual demand. The masterclass directly addresses this gap, turning agents into professionals who protect property values and maximize owner returns.

Building on a Season of Momentum

The July 15 masterclass is the latest in a series of Bacolod milestones. Earlier this year, the network opened its 142nd franchise office in the city and hosted a wealth seminar that drew 300 aspiring agents. Founder Anthony Leuterio attended both events, reinforcing Bacolod’s strategic importance to the network.

Just days earlier, agents completed a Camella product knowledge seminar, mastering the developer’s classic house models. These consecutive learning events create a sales force that is versatile, deeply knowledgeable, and ready to serve Bacolod’s growing property market.
