Our Story & Origins

Started in Zamboanga,
Building to Grow Big.

PlaceHOLDER was founded by college tech students in Zamboanga City with a shared drive: turning classroom concepts and late-night coding sessions into real, production-ready software. What began between university lectures is now a dedicated studio shipping live digital products and scaling into a major technology firm.
