Scrabble enthusiasts will also start the year with a high spirit to begin the New Year with a big event when the Sinulog Open Scrabble Tournament will open before the end of January.
Open to all

Abella said the tournament is open to all, rated or non-rated scrabble players. He expects about 70 to 80 participants.
The registration of the tournament, which is sanction by the National Scrabble Association of the Philippines, will be announced later, said Abella.
