BATANGAS CITY, Philippines / TORONTO, Canada, May 15, 2026 — PonteFino Estates has become the first Philippine real estate developer to integrate Agentic AI across its day-to-day enterprise operations, in a strategic partnership with Agentiiv — a Filipina-led AI platform operating across Canada, the United States, the Philippines, Singapore and Malaysia.
AI adoption in Philippine real estate has largely stayed at the surface — chatbots, smart-home features and automated CRMs. PonteFino’s integration with Agentiiv is a different category: autonomous agents deployed across sales, leasing, property management, human resources and customer engagement to execute operational workflows across the full enterprise — bringing enterprise-grade AI capability, trusted by businesses across multiple continents, directly into a developer with over two decades of track record in Southern Luzon.
Agentiiv CEO Karla Congson said the collaboration fits a pattern she has observed across every market where the platform operates. “The businesses that get the most from AI are those that treat it as a genuine extension of their team, not just a shortcut. PonteFino is exactly that kind of organization — and this partnership is about giving two decades of disciplined, long-term thinking the technology infrastructure it deserves.”
PonteFino Estates has been developing master-planned townships, commercial properties, office developments and PEZA-registered business parks outside Metro Manila for over two decades. Under the leadership of Founder, Chairman and CEO Ricky Gutierrez, the company has grown a portfolio stretching from Batangas City — home to PonteFino Estates and The Forum Business Park — to Uptown Cagayan de Oro, where PonteFino Estates continues to take shape. Gutierrez said the decision reflected a deliberate, people-first approach. “We were deliberate about where we started, the partner we chose and what we wanted this to deliver for our people and our clients. Our teams are exceptional — this gives them the tools to prove it, and to set the standard for how a Philippine developer can operate in the years ahead.”
The collaboration also marks a milestone in Canada-Philippines technology trade, drawing recognition from the Canadian Trade Commissioner Service. “This collaboration demonstrates the strength of Canada-Philippines partnerships, combining expertise, talent, and innovation to deliver real business outcomes. It underscores how Canada-Philippines people-to-people ties underpin commercial success and reinforce the case for deeper bilateral trade and investment,” Commercial Counsellor and Senior Trade Commissioner Janine Fiddler added.
