“Sa totoo lang, hindi ko po alam saan magsisimula. Sobrang saya at sobrang priceless ‘yung nararamdaman ko ngayon. Hindi ko alam paano nangyari lahat, pati ako na-shock sa performance ko. Thank you, God! Alam mo Lord kung gaano ko ito ka-kailangan. At hindi mo ako binigo,” she wrote.
“Ang podium finishes na ito ay isang malaking paalala na kahit ano man ang pagsubok na pagdaanan natin sa buhay, laging anjan si God, ang ating pamilya, kasama ng mga totoo at tamang tao para tulungan tayong bumangon ulit,” she added.
According to Samahang Weightlifting ng Pilipinas president Monico Puentevella, Ramos is learning her lesson the hard way. She also wants to go to the Los Angeles Olympics in three more years from now.
“She’s learning her lesson the hard way. In His Time, she’ll be going to the Los Angeles Olympics too in three more years,” Puentevella said.
“She has to train more and we have plans for her, too,” he added.
