UP Scrabble Club
About Us
The UP Scrabble Club is a non-stock, non-profit organization composed of students from the University of the Philippines. The Club was established in July 15, 2005. Since then, Ms. Ma. Cristina Filio serves as the Club's adviser.
The UP Scrabble Club believes that the game of Scrabble can be a unifying factor among UP students and that it can be a field of specialization (as a sport or recreation).
Specifically, the Club has the following goals.
1) To promote intellectual, moral and social consciousness among its members;
2) To participate in various campus, local, national and international activities that will serve the interest and welfare of its members;
3) To foster a close and harmonious relationship among its members through the different activities that will be conducted by the organization; and
4) To conduct activities that will serve as a leading force for the promotion of Scrabble.
