Last saturday, June 20, I went to Google and Globe developer workshop held at UP TechnoHub Diliman, QC. I've already attended some Globe events like when they launch their API to the public developers, MSDN sessions co-hosted by Globe, etc. The main purpose of the event is to showcase to Filipino developers the Globe API (Location Based, SMS, Voice) plus the Google's vast APIs. They wanted to harvest several applications from the public developers and commercialized them when they found they've potential to get revenues.

 Patrick Chanezon of Google presented some of available APIs from Google ( code.google.com ). 

 Greg and Sherwin of Globe showcased their APIs, e.i. Sending SMS to add an entry to Google calendar and a Facebook application(application name here, I didn't search yet :P ) which finds all of your Globe friends as they where currently located.

In a few weeks or so, I am sure there will plenty of new application that will be released in the Philippines. :D
