Iloilo Business Park recently hosted the biggest Scrabble competition
for kids in the region, gathering more than 70 participants from various schools who put their vocabulary, wit and social skills to the test.
“Scrabble is not just a form of mental exercise, but is
also a social practice. It lets participants discuss language and teamwork
while competing. This is a rather relevant event in the province, where many
schools are luring students away from television and computers, and activities
such as this give the students a chance to realize their other skills and
interests,” said Jennifer Palmares-Fong, VP for sales and marketing, Iloilo
Business Park.
The competition has two categories: one for kids ages seven
to ten years old, and another for juniors, ages 11 to 15 years old. Following
the standard Scrabble competition mechanics practiced worldwide, participants
had to go through elimination, semi-finals and finals to be able to claim the
top prize.
Over 60,000 worth of cash and gift certificates were awarded
to the winners, with special awards given to the best word scorer, the longest
word scorer and the best in vocabulary.
