Geraldo "Bong" Ramos (born January 20, 1961) is a Filipino professional basketball coach of the Philippine Basketball Association.

Contents

He had previously coached teams in the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA), ASEAN Basketball League (ABL), Indonesian Basketball League (IBL), Southeast Asian Games (SEA Games), Southeast Asia Basketball Association (SEABA), Metropolitan Basketball Association (MBA), and the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA).

Playing career

Ramos played point guard for teams in the Indonesian basketball circuit, the Philippine Amateur Basketball League (PABL), National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), and the Philippine National Team.

He is notable as a player for the champion Mapua Cardinals in the NCAA in 1981, named Mythical 5 and Over-all Top Scorer.

He played for the Philippines under Coach Ron Jacobs in 1982-1983 with the Northern Consolidated National Team.

He was team captain of the ESQ Pasig Giants who emerged champions in the Asian Inter-city Basketball Tournament in Jakarta, Indonesia where he was spotted and hired as an import for the Indonesian team Pelita Jaya from 1988-1991, possibly being the first ever Filipino basketball player import. He was named Best Guard at the Pangdam Tanjangpura Cup I in 1988 in Indonesia.

Coaching career

When imports were banned in Indonesia, Ramos became the assistant coach for Pelita Jaya. He returned to Manila in 1991 to play but sustained a leg injury while training with RC Cola in the Philippine Basketball League when a player accidentally fell on his leg during a tune-up game.

Because of his injury, Bong threw in the towel as a player at the age of 30 and worked as an account manager for Ivy League Workwear Shoes for 5 years.

In 1997, Ramos returned to basketball as the head coach of the Mapua Cardinals in the NCAA.

In 1998, Ramos started his professional coaching as head coach of the Batangas Blades career in the MBA (Metropolitan Basketball Association).

Ramos coached the Indonesian team ASPAC-Texmaco to win its three-peat and quadruple championships in 2002 and 2003 in the emerging Indonesian basketball scene. He was named 2003 Coach of the Year of the Indonesian Basketball League. In 2003, Filipino sports headlines reported that the Philippine team got a scare when they almost lost to Indonesia in the 2003 SEA Games, after coaching under the Filipino coach. Ramos previously coached FedEx Express from 2004 to 2005. The former Mapua Cardinal’s coaching resume also includes a stint as the Brunei Barracudas' coach in the Asean Basketball League (ABL). [1] He actually coached Barako Bull before when it was still carrying the Air21 brand name in 2011. On April 30, 2018, Ramos was appointed by the Blackwater Elite to replace former head coach Leo Isaac after leading the team to a poor 0-3 in the 2018 PBA Commissioner's Cup. [2]
