Ronnie Ramos (b. May 25, 2002) is a Filipino filmmaker from Pangasinan and a BA Film graduate of the University of the Philippines Diliman. He began his career directing award-winning documentaries for the National Council for Children’s Television, including Bakwit (2018) and Si Pio at ang Pugitang May Labingsiyam na Galamay (2020), before transitioning to narrative filmmaking. His debut short, Ang Alamat Kung Bakit Kalabaw Lang ang Tumatanda (2024), was supported by the Film Development Council of the Philippines and developed through the DLSU Young Screenwriters’ Workshop and Sundance Collab. His recent projects include Happy (M)others Day! (The Manila Film Festival 2024), Blooming!
