[7][8] Ramsay was born on December 7, 1976,[9] in Enfield, England,[10] and he was raised in Cainta, Rizal, Philippines.

[citation needed] His Filipina mother, Remedios Paggao,[10] was the head of the housekeeping unit of 11 Cadogan Gardens in London, and his British father, Derek Arthur Ramsay Sr. was an inspector for the Metropolitan Police Service stationed in Scotland Yard.

[10] Early in the 2000s, Ramsay found work as an MTV VJ, a model, as well as TV commercial actor.

In December 2021, Ramsey and GMA Network have agreed that the actor will take an "indefinite leave" and "freeze the contract" from showbiz to attend to "personal matters and family".

[17] Ramsay is currently the head ambassador of the Philippine national beach soccer team, and was set to participate in the 2013 FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup Asian qualifiers, but ultimately did not due to his commitment to Kidlat, where he was playing the lead role.
