He’s the poster boy of basketball in the Philippines if we are to base it on the number of posts online about his gorgeous face and not necessarily about his skills on the hardcourt. You see, Gilas Pilipinas player Dwight Ramos has become a household name not only because of the sport that introduced him to the online world and beyond.
Recently, he was a key player for the national team in their win against Latvia during the FIBA Olympic Qualifying Tournament. This victory secured their place in the semifinals, where they faced Brazil. Unfortunately, Gilas Pilipinas’ Olympic journey ended there.
On the other hand, the basketball star also renewed his contract with the Japanese team Levanga Hokkaido for the 2024-2025 Japan B. League season, marking his third year with the basketball team.
As he continues to make his way to the peak of his career, Dwight has become more visible to the public eye—following his basketball journey and even his personal life.
With all the blessings he received, he sat down with some members of the press during his “Behind the Hoops” meet-and-greet event to talk about his personal life.
Aside from the hardcourt, fans see him doing vlogs and TikTok videos with his girlfriend and professional volleyball player Kianna Dy.
Ever since the two began their relationship, they consistently gave their fans a glimpse of their sweet moments with travelogues, challenges, surprise visits, and even their simplest dates. Most of the videos showed Dwight being shy but trying to be involved and blend himself whenever the camera pans to him.

Now being in a four-year relationship with the volleyball star, Dwight seemed to slowly overcome his introverted personality.
Speaking to Manila Standard Life during a Lawson Philippines event, the Gilas Pilipinas player emphasized how he let himself be his real self every time.
“I just be myself. So, it’s usually other people posting TikToks. I just live my life and whatever, if they’re posting about me or if they’re not posting about me, it doesn’t affect me really,” said Dwight.
He even let himself participate in challenges like practicing the Tagalog words that Kiana had prepared for him.
When asked how many Tagalog words he knows now, Dwight looked at Kiana, who was sitting in one corner of the room, as the latter released a quiet laugh. But on a serious note, Dwight admitted that it got better now unlike before.
“It’s good. It’s better. it’s better than before. I got to understand more but I’m not still confident making Tagalog words,” he added.
