Ernestine Grace Tiamzon (born May 4, 1997) is a Filipino-Canadian volleyball athlete. She is currently a varsity player of De La Salle University collegiate women's volleyball team. She has also recently joined the semi-pro commercial league Philippine Super Liga under the F2 Logistics Cargo Movers[1] club.

Personal life

Ernestine Tiamzon, also called as "Tin" or "Ernie" by her family and friends, can fluently speak both Filipino and English language. She was born in Koronadal, South Cotabato, Philippines where her family owns and manages a plantation of organically manufactured products registered under Kablon Farms Foods Corporation[2]. Though purely Filipino, she was raised in Canada since she was 8 years old when her family migrated to Burnaby, British Columbia in 2006. She is the youngest of 5 siblings. Her sister, Aika Tiamzon-Billena, was also a former DLSU Lady Spiker.[3]. She is currently taking up Business Management degree at De La Salle University.

She was a former high school band member and can play musical instruments such as clarinet and ukulele.

Career

Tiamzon originally played the sport basketball in high school. She eventually shifted to volleyball and played with the Moscrop Panthers in Moscrop Secondary School[4]. Back in Canada, she was a member of a club team in Apex Volleyball U18[5].

In February 2015, she was initially invited by DLSU team managers, Raffy Villavicencio and Eric Ongkauko, to join the rigorous training of the DLSU Lady Spikers conducted by head coach Ramil de Jesus. She left Canada in July 2015 to finally join and play for the DLSU Lady Spikers and take her scholarship slot at De La Salle University.[6][7][8]

Just a few months after arriving in the Philippines, she was assigned as the team's reserve player in the UAAP Season 78 Beach Volleyball tournament.[9] On her first playing year in the University Athletic Association of the Philippines, their trio of seniors Kim Fajardo and Cyd Demecillo won the gold trophy in UAAP Beach Volleyball Championship, which was a first in La Salle's history.[10][11]

During the UAAP Season 78 indoor volleyball tournament, she was assigned as the Outside Hitter where her team eventually snatched the championship trophy.

On her sophomore year, she served as the team captain in UAAP Season 79 Beach Volleyball tournament where her team-up with Desiree Cheng and Kim Fajardo brought DLSU to bronze finish.[12] Following the graduation of former MVP Ara Galang, Ernestine tried to lead DLSU's offense and was recognized as Player of the Game in few of the games of the entire UAAP Season 79. In the Finals Series, DLSU emerged as back-to-back champions.[13] For that 10th championship title, DLSU is now ranked 3rd as the team with most number of championship won in UAAP Women's Volleyball.
