Early years
Ramos was born into a poor family in the northern town of Manatí, Puerto Rico.

He was raised by his mother and an aunt, and finished his primary education. However in 1917, at age 15 years, he felt that in Manati he didn't have a future and so left his home; he then moved to San Juan, the capital city of Puerto Rico.While living in San Juan, he went to school at the Central High School and found a job at El Mundo, a then-recently founded newspaper.  He started as a typesetter. In 1924, when he was 22 years old, he was promoted to the position of administrator.
