A few weeks back, people from Yahoo! including Jojo Anonuevo,Yahoo Phil's. General Manager, went to Manila to show local developers what the Yahoo! Developer Network(YDN) is all about. They discussed the Yahoo! APIs and yes, they're looking for killerapps!
This morning Yahoo! called me up telling me that I'm among the top 5 finalists of their contest. The winner will get the chance to go to Yahoo's headquarters in Sunny Vale, California. I agree with Jojo that experience would be life-changing.
Anyway, wish me luck so I get that chance to represent the country in the event. Even though I don't get the chance, I'm sure who would win will make our country proud.
Mabuhay ang Pinoy!
