All updates, photos & highlights will be made within this post. Startup Weekend Manila 2012 starts today with the doors opening at 5:00pm at MINT College where entrepreneurs “pitch” an idea in 60 seconds, people vote for them to choose the best ones and then the pitchers recruit people based on their requirements.

The final day, Sunday, the teams show off what all they developed and the judges decide the ultimate team, which has an idea which can change the world.
