Biography edit
Olegario Clarin was born on March 6, 1892, in Loay, Bohol. His parents were Representative Aniceto Clarin and Margarita Butalid. He was a younger brother of Senator Jose Clarin.[1] After graduating from Cebu High School and Liceo de Manila, Clarin studied law at the Philippine Law School and National University, eventually earning a bachelor's degree in law.
In 1925, Clarin was elected to the House of Representatives as a delegate from Bohol's 2nd district, serving until 1927. In 1932, Clarin was appointed Registrar of Deeds in Bohol. Three years later, he was elected as a delegate to the new unicameral National Assembly of the Philippines. In 1939 he was re-elected. After the Assembly was split again into the House of Representatives and the Senate in 1941, Clarin was again elected to the House.[2]
Shortly after the elections, however, the Japanese invaded the Philippines as part of the Second World War. For this, the newly elected Philippine Congress only went into session in 1945 after the liberation of the country by the Americans. In the first elections after gaining independence in 1946, Clarin was elected to the Senate of the Philippines. His term in the Senate lasted until 1949.[3]
