Geraldo "Bong" Ramos (born January 20, 1961) is a Filipino professional basketball coach, who is currently assistant coach to the Blackwater Elite team of the Philippine Basketball Association.
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).
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.
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.
