The week-long event will showcase the country's top and upcoming pin busters in the men's and ladies' divisions, as well as the youth category, Climaco said.

He said the tournament will unfold with a parade of participants and officials in the morning of April 12 from City Hall to the Tebi and Sean Restaurant Center.

He said a program will follow with Mayor Celso Lobregat as the keynote speaker.
