Proud To Be Pinoy
Newly appointed Miami Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra said yesterday he is thrilled to become the first Fil-Am named to the high-level position in the NBA and being “very proud of my heritage, this is a great honor.”
Spoelstra’s mother Elisa Caridad Celino is from San Pablo, Laguna. She is a UP Diliman journalism graduate and taught at the Mindanao State University in Marawi City before leaving for the US in 1966. Spoelstra’s father Jon is of Dutch-Irish descent and used to work in the front office of the Portland Trail Blazers, Denver Nuggets and New Jersey Nets.
A bachelor, Spoelstra has an older sister Monica who is involved in advertising and graphic design.
“I am currently the NBA’s youngest coach but not the youngest ever as Lawrence Frank was 33 when he was named head coach for New Jersey,” said the 37-year-old Spoelstra in an e-mail to The STAR. “As the league’s youngest coach now, though, I am extremely honored to have been promoted to this level with the Heat.”

Powerful Earthquake Rocks China
MIANYANG, China – Soldiers hiking over landslide-blocked roads reached the epicenter of China’s devastating earthquake Tuesday, pulling bodies and a few survivors from collapsed buildings. The death toll of more than 12,000 was certain to rise as the buried were found.
Rescuers worked through a steady rain searching wrecked towns across hilly stretches of Sichuan province that were stricken by Monday’s magnitude-7.9 quake, China’s deadliest in three decades. Tens of thousands spent a second night outdoors, some sleeping under plastic sheeting, others bused to a stadium in the city of Mianyang, on the edge of the disaster area.
Street lamps were switched on in Mianyang on Tuesday night, but all the buildings were dark and deserted after the government ordered people out of them for fear of aftershocks. Security guards were posted at apartment blocks to keep people out.
The industrial city of 700,000 people — home to the headquarters of China’s nuclear weapons design industry — was turned into a thronging refugee camp, with residents sleeping outdoors.
