Cristina Martinez Ramos-Jalasco is a sports executive and former international footballer.

Sporting career

[edit]

Ramos-Jalasco was the first President of the Philippine Ladies Football Association (PLFA) which was established in October 1980 in Baguio[1] herself.[2] The PLFA was later absorbed to the Philippine Football Federation.

She was a member of the Philippines national team from 1980 to 1986.[3] She was the captain of the Edward Magallona-led squad at the 1981 AFC Women's Championship.[1] She also led the team to a bronze medal finish at the 1985 Southeast Asian Games[3] in the women's football event which was contested by only three teams.

She became involved in karate in 1992 and later became the Project Director of the Philippine Karate-do Federation.[3]

The first female President[3] of the Philippine Olympic Committee was Ramos-Jalasco, having served the sports body from 1997 to 1999,[4] when she was removed from the position following a leadership dispute. Her husband Godofredo Jalasco, then head of the Basketball Association of the Philippines was a part of an opposing faction which disputed her leadership.[5]

By 2010, Ramos-Jalasco is involved with FIFA and the Asian Football Confederation as a committee member.[3] She has also served as match commissioner since 2003[5] for various international football matches. She was the match commissioner of the 2010 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup final between Germany and Nigeria.[3]

Personal life

[edit]

Ramos—Jalasco is the fourth child among five daughters.[3] of former Philippine President Fidel V. Ramos[6] and Amelita Ramos. She has three children with her husband, Godofredo Jalasco.[5]
