"I hope to do well in this event," said the Murphy, Quezon City resident Mistica, one of the country's top pool instructor, a confidante of World No.1 and World 8-Ball Champion Dennis "Robocop" Orcollo.
Mistica who goes by the moniker "Maestro Monching" rose to national prominence in 1980, with a victory over Filipino billiards legend Jose "Amang" Parica.
A formidable cast of participants from Europe, the United States and Canada will also compete.
