The Bangsamoro community is once again beaming with pride as one of its own, Mad Ramos, earns national recognition after being crowned the very first Ultimate Campus Cutie by Sparkle GMA Artist Center. In a significant show of support, the Bangsamoro Parliament, through the Bangsamoro Transition Authority (BTA), paid tribute to Mad — hailing him as a symbol of Cultural Pride, Youth Empowerment, and Positive Representation.

A Rising Star and Proud Bangsamoro Youth
Mad’s win is no ordinary feat. Chosen among hundreds of student representatives from campuses and universities across the country, Mad Ramos emerged as the grand winner of Sparkle GMA’s prestigious competition that seeks to spotlight new faces with star potential, intelligence, and charisma.
As a proud Bangsamoro youth, Mad carried with him not just his personal dreams but also the culture, identity, and values of his people. His achievement is a milestone not just for himself and his family, but for the entire Bangsamoro community, especially for young people who dare to dream beyond the limitations of stereotypes and boundaries.
Gratitude to the Bangsamoro Transition Authority
The Ramos family, particularly Mad’s parents—Diamila Disimban-Ramos who hails from Marawi City, Taraka, Masiu, Lumba-Bayabao and Bayang, Lanao del Sur and Maguindanao del Norte and Special Geographic Area (SGA) of the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao and Sultan sa Maul H. Acmad M. Ramos, from Marantao and Wato Balindong, Lanao del Sur—expressed deep gratitude to the Bangsamoro Transition Authority, especially Deputy Speaker MP Engr. Baintan Adil-Ampatuan, MNSA, CSEE, for the commendation and acknowledgment given to Mad.
The tribute highlights BTA’s continuous commitment to uplifting and celebrating Bangsamoro achievers and youth icons who serve as inspiration to the next generation of leaders, artists, and changemakers.
The \’Spiker Prince of the South\’
Beyond his recent title, Mad Ramos is also known in youth circles as the “Spiker Prince of the Southâ€, a nickname he earned from his excellence in sports, particularly volleyball. His discipline, leadership, and strong sense of identity have made him a well-loved figure among his peers.
Whether on the court or in front of the camera, Mad remains grounded in his values and driven by his vision to represent his roots with pride.
Faith, Family, and the Future
In the face of his rising popularity, Mad remains anchored in his faith in Allah SWT, and deeply grateful to the support of his family and community. As he embarks on this new chapter as a rising artist under Sparkle GMA Artist Center, he carries with him not only the responsibility of being a public figure, but the hope of becoming a voice for the Bangsamoro youth on the national stage. As mentioned by Deputy Speaker Baintan Adil-Ampatuan, Mads\’ lineage is \”steeped in leadership, public service, and the rich traditions of the Meranao and Maguindanaon and the wider Bangsamoro identity.\”
Truly, Proudly, Bangsamoro
The commendation from the Bangsamoro Parliament is more than an honorary gesture — it is a reminder that Bangsamoro youth can and will rise when given opportunities and support. Mad Ramos’ achievement is not just a personal triumph, but a beacon of what is possible for a generation fueled by dreams, resilience, and cultural pride.
