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.
