DESPITE Gilas Pilipinas losing back-to-back games at home during the just concluded second window of the FIBA World Cup Asian qualifiers, Dwight Ramos didn’t go empty-handed going back to the Japan B. League.
Just before leaving the country, Ramos renewed his partnership as brand ambassador of SportsPlus.
The 27-year-old national team member first became ambassador of the country’s official gaming partner of the Philippine Olympic Committee in August 2024, and the renewal of the partnership extends the mutual trust and respect both parties have on each other.
Just before coming over to the country for the home games against New Zealand and Australia during the qualifiers, Ramos recently surpassed the 2,000 career points in the B. League including 300 three pointers made while playing for the Levanga Hokkaido.
Unfortunately, Gilas lost to New Zealand, 69-66, and Australia, 93-67, to even its record at 2-2 in Group A.
Since committing to the national team, Ramos has consistently answered the call, embracing the responsibility that comes with competing against the region’s best.
The Fil-Am guard suited up for multiple major tournaments including the 2021 and 2022 FIBA Asia Cup, and the 2023 FIBA Basketball World Cup.
“As long as my body allows me to compete at my best and the team needs me, I’ll always be committed to playing for Gilas Pilipinas,” Ramos shared.
“Playing for the Philippines is an honor that I don’t take for granted. Every time I step on the court for Gilas Pilipinas, I give it my all."
His renewed partnership with SportsPlus reflects that same discipline and drive.
“I’m grateful for the continued trust of SportsPlus,” Ramos continued.
“Our partnership goes beyond basketball. It’s about representing something bigger than ourselves. I’m excited to keep building a brand that truly supports Philippine sports.”
SportsPlus President & CEO Andre Uy also emphasized the importance of continuity in the partnership.
“Dwight represents the best of what Philippine basketball stands for: hard work, integrity, and pride in representing the country,” he said.
“From day one, this partnership has been built on trust and mutual respect. We’re proud to continue supporting Dwight as he competes at the highest level and inspires the next generation of Filipino athletes.”
Just recently, SportsPlus formalized its partnership with MPBL for the league’s 2026 season as its official title partner.
