ACM ICPC Philippines: 200 participants. 50 Teams.
24 Schools. 6 Problems. 3 Hours. 1 Champion.
Fifty teams from 24 schools competed for the top spot
in the First Philippine National Inter-Collegiate
Programming Competition (ACM ICPC Philippines 2007)
held last Saturday, October 20, 2007 at De La Salle
University – Canlubang Campus in Laguna.
This event was organized by the Computing Society of
the Philippines (CSP) in cooperation with the
Association for Computing Machinery (ACM). The host
school was De La Salle Canlubang and the contest
director was Dr. Rafael Saldaña, immediate past
president of the CSP and ACM ICPC Asia-Manila Site
director.
Each competing team consisted of 3 students. During
the contest, each team tried to outsmart each other in
solving 6 problems in 3 hours using a computer. The
team with the most number of problems solved at the
fastest time won the competition.
The problems ranged from “easy” to “difficult” and
included computer science topics such as data
structures, combinatorics, graph algorithms, and
computational methods.
The top spots at stake were: First Place (Champion),
2nd Place, and 3rd Place. The top team (or teams) will
be given financial assistance (subject to availability
of funds) to participate in the 2007 ACM ICPC
Asia-Singapore regional contest on December 13-14,
2007. In the Singapore Contest, the top teams (usually
3) will qualify to the 2008 ACM ICPC World Finals to
be held in Alberta, Canada in April 2008.

The name is Dr. John Paul Vergara, not John Paul Verga. I think the finger slipped?
Hi, Doc. Thanks for the feedback. I made the correction already. My apologies to John Paul... it was a typographical error (due to 'cut and paste').
