Early life

Jose's love for basketball began on his barangay's basketball court in Negros Occidental, where he played against his uncles and learned how to play the sport.{{Citation |title=Raymar Jose {{!}} King Tamaraw {{!}} FEU {{!}} UAAP 79 Men's Basketball | date=September 20, 2016 |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hLyFwqiIPGY |language=en |access-date=December 28, 2022}} He then got a growth spurt in which he grew to 6'0" and started playing in basketball tournaments in Iloilo.{{Citation |title=Sports U: Raymar's basketball journey | date=November 24, 2016 |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HmJ3ZDAU6Po |language=en |access-date=December 28, 2022}} He also tried volleyball.
