Ernestine, also called as "Tin" or "Ernie" by her family and friends, was born in Koronadal, South Cotabato, Philippines. In 2006, her family migrated to Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada where she earned a citizenship. She is the youngest of 5 siblings. Her sister, Aika Tiamzon-Billena, was also a former DLSU Lady Spiker.[2] Ernestine was also a former band member in high school and can play musical instruments such as clarinet and ukulele.
