Biography

[edit]

Clarín was born on December 12, 1879, to Don Aniceto Velez Clarín, first civil governor of the province of Bohol. Clarín was educated at the University of San Carlos in Cebu primary education and then in Escuela de Derecho de Manila for his law degree earned in 1904. His younger brother, Olegario Clarin, also served as a Senator and representative of Bohol.

As a senator, he became Senate President pro tempore.[1]

In 1934, he also became a delegate to the Constitutional Convention from the second district of Bohol and a member of the committee on sponsorship.[1]

The town of Clarin in Misamis Occidental is named in his honor.
