Mozilla PH Dev Team officially organized

After the successful kick off of the Firefox OS App Days - Manila, Student Rep Marcus Ang from DLSU-CSB in coordination with ReMo Kemuel Domanong suggested to come up with an event to organize the Development Team which is one of the key component of the Mozilla Philippines Community in which developers or not can contribute their amazing works for the community. This initiative was gladly supported by the awesome Mozilla Rep Mentors Mr. Robert 'Bob' DC. Reyes, Regional Localization Lead and Mr. Eusebio 'Jun' Barrun Jr., Community Manager to push through the event.
