I'm from the Philippines and have set up a business of my own. Here are answers to your questions:
1. Go to the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) -- their office is located along Buendia, Makati -- and register your business name. If you're a sole proprietor, you have to register at DTI. If your friends will join you in the business, you have to incorporate it at the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) -- go to their offices in EDSA corner Ortigas. From there, they will give you instructions on how to set up your business (this includes opening a bank account, applying for business permits and tax records with the BIR, etc)
2. You have to promote yourself to potential customers. I suggest you set up your own website to show off your web design capabilities. You can start getting clients through personal contacts such as family, friends and old classmates so you can build your portfolio of clients. Once you have a number of clients, you can approach bigger companies to offer your services. Remember to bring a laptop for presentation.
