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.

Ramos-Jalasco was elected as the first female President of the Philippine Olympic Committee in November 1996 winning over her closest rival, Celso Dayrit by a single vote.[3][4] She served the sports body from 1997 to 1999,[5] 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.[6]
