Olegario Butalid Clarin (bornOlegario Clarín y Butalid; March 6, 1892 – ) was a Filipino politician. He served as a representative fromBohol from 1925 through 1927, from 1935 to 1945 and was elected to a term in theSenate of the Philippines in 1946 afterWorld War II.
Olegario Clarin was born on March 6, 1892, inLoay,Bohol. His parents were RepresentativeAniceto Clarin and Margarita Butalid. He was a younger brother of SenatorJose Clarin.[1] After graduating from Cebu High School and Liceo de Manila, Clarin studied law at thePhilippine Law School andNational University, eventually earning a bachelor's degree in law.
In 1925, Clarin was elected to the House of Representatives as a delegate from Bohol's2nd 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 unicameralNational Assembly of the Philippines. In 1939 he was re-elected. After the Assembly was split again into theHouse 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 theSecond 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]
