Antonio Baya Temblor, born on July 12, 1956, in Sagay City, started his art journey at age eight by drawing a religious image for his uncle. He gained early recognition for his talent in school and later won an art exhibit in 1973 with a life-sized skeleton model. Over the years, he created many religious sculptures, including well-known works like Our Lady of Mount Carmel and Padre Pio statues. Temblor also exported crafts and donated religious pieces to churches and chapels. In 2000, he was recognized as a Sagay City Artist and continues to contribute to religious art in his community.
