CSPI Nostalgia/ History

“It was the sport of bowling as the sole reason why Celebrity Sports Plaza, Inc was built way back in July 7, 1979” says multi-titled sports icon and local bowling legend Dion Averilla as he recalls fondly like it just happened yesterday. According to Celebrity Club’s able Bowling Committee Chairman, CSPI was constructed because our country needed a venue for the staging of the prestigious Federation Intertionale des Quillers bowling tournament in 1979. Mr. Averilla had been a club member since CSPI first opened shop. Way back in those days, the hardwood game of Ten-Pins and Black Balls was the rage among local sports circles. Names like Paeng Nepomuceno and Bong Coo were what Manny Pacquiao, James Yap, Dennis Orcollo are today – mega-popular sports idols. Even the Club’s very first General manager was a sports celebrity in his own right; some flashy basketball player by the name of Robert “Sonny” Jaworski. Oh yes, “The Big J” of Philippine basketball once upon a time, called the shots here at the Club. When a big bowling tournament would be underway all roads lead to Celebrity Sports Plaza, Inc. at Capitol Drive. The club then boasted of 40-plus classy bowling lanes and the now-famous Olympic-sized swimming pool. Both amenities were unparalleled at the time.

Also, according to former CSPI HRD Manager, Ms. Susan Alvares, the club was the preferred venue for the staging of popular TV shows of yesterday like “Superstar” of Nora Aunor, “Ang Bagong kampeon” of Ms. Pilita Corales and Mr. Bert “Tawa Marcelo, “Loveliness” of Ms. Alma Moreno, “The Maricel Soriano Show”, “V.I.P. of Ms. Vilma Santos, “The Manilyn Reynes Show”, and most notably the country’s undisputed top noon-time show – “Eat Bulaga”. The Pop Diva Kuh Ledesma held her very first major singing engagement here at the club staged at the Grand Ballroom which could accommodate a 3000 strong sitting studio audience. It’s no wonder that Celebrity Club was a byword with talks pertaining to lavish TV productions.

Celebrity Sports Plaza indeed was where denizens of both local showbiz and sports scenes interacted. It was the most posh place in Metro manila during that colorful era. Be it in the arena of sports or in the realm of tinsel-town, this is where glamour reigns. It doesn’t get any glitzier than the one and only “Club of the Stars”!
