It was only a matter of time before he found his calling as a sculptor. His first sculpture was the Imaculada Concepcion image, which still stands today in the old community cemetery at Jasaan.
CAGAYAN DE ORO, Philippines – Ramon Icayan Cabello was born on November 7, 1919, the third of five children. His parents were Simeon Ubalde Cabello, a and sometimes music composer, and Justa Emanel Icayan, a homemaker, both Lumad Jasaanons of Jasaan, Misamis .
“Our father showed his proficiency with concrete early when he successfully managed to transfer entire sections of many houses in Jasaan which were affected by road widening projects during the seventies,” recalls his daughter Eusebia Cabello Mendoza, assistant professor at Tagoloan Community College in Baluarte, Tagoloan, Misamis Oriental.
However, Tiyoy Ramon was what many would call a do-it-yourself sculptor, who developed his sculpting chops as he went along. He would first cast a whole cement block for the statue and then carve the image using unusual tools like ordinary cutlery , a hatchet, as well as the hammer and chisels from his carpenter’s tools.
