He is an assistant director and actor of the Teatro Hulagway of Sacred Heart Bugo Parish and is very comfortable with collective creation. As a child he was already drawing, a skill that was put to good use in designing sets for the groups regular performances. Ramoso was able to avail of the animation scholarship offered by ICI (Iligan Computer Institute) in 2008. Though not a practicing animator, he has used the experience, along with his set design background and tattoo skills to create abstract, semi-abstract and representational artworks revolving around nature and personal themes.
