About Acret Philippines Inc.
We combine strict engineering standards with local Filipino talent to build dependable software for businesses.
Our Story
Acret Inc. started in Kobe, Japan, in 2008. For over a decade, we built a reputation across Japan for delivering software that companies can actually rely on.
In 2019, we saw the incredible tech talent growing in the Philippines and decided to open our Cebu office. This was not just about expanding our map. It was about bringing together two strong work cultures.
Today, we take the strict attention to detail from Japanese craftsmanship and mix it with the adaptability and teamwork of Filipino "Bayanihan." The result is software that solves real problems and works exactly the way you need it to.

General Manager
Growing up in Cebu taught me the value of hard work, honesty, and earning people's trust. Those same values guide how I lead our Philippine team today.
With my background in both systems administration and software development, I know exactly how much responsibility comes with building tools that businesses rely on. My goal is simple: to deliver software that works and to stand by our clients at every step.
For me, success is about building long term relationships by staying transparent and always following through on our promises.

Jhon Manny Loto
Backend Specialist
My identity has been shaped in the countryside part of the Philippines! To travel around the world is something I wish of. In spite of the continual struggle, faith and courage were my main motivation to keep going because I believe no matter how you feel, just get up, dress up, show up and never give up. Great things are yet to come. Becoming part of Acret-PH is a great opportunity for me to nurture my knowledge and skills. I started with a zero-knowledge in Drupal, yet it was never a hindrance for me to cope up and learn since my seniors and fellow workmates have been very helpful.
Michael John Binal
Backend Specialist
Ever since I was younger, it dawned on me that computer stuff would be my thing. From the designs of frontend elements to the logic of codes, my fascination for software has always been there. In this space, I evolve and grow with the changes of technology and get to experience exciting learnings and challenges, both old and new. The community is varied and supreme and full of goods I have yet to unravel. And working in Acret made me realize this is the realm I will always wander.

Jul-Radier Jundam
Software Developer
With knowledge in software development, I believe in the importance of building reliable and user-centered tools. Developing functional, well-documented software is what drives me. I enjoy diving into the details and ensuring every user experience is considered, even if it means getting lost in the software's documentation (the more, the better).
I also believe that great software is built through collaboration. Success in development isn't just about individual achievements, but about learning from those around me.
