Early life[]

Tolibao was born and raised in Malaybalay, Bukidnon, Philippines along with his two siblings, Kevin and Kate. He always had a passion and an innate talent for drawing and sketching, a skill which he got from his father, Jesus, who was a local artist in his hometown.

Tolibao moved to Manila, the main city and capital of the Philippines, to try and venture more into accomplishing his dreams of becoming a comic artist. He would bring his cousins to school and wait for them outside the campus, sketching people as they walk by. A number of times parents at school who were also waiting for their children would ask him to do a professional facial pencil sketch of their kids, and Tolibao would gladly do it for free despite their insistence to pay for the artwork.
