Philippine Assembly

Clarin would also serve the Philippine Legislature in 1907.

A year-and-a-half later, Clarin introduced Assembly Bill 394 of 1909, which was almost the same as Assembly Bill 39. This time the bill was aimed to relocate poor Filipinos to the island of Mindoro and three provinces of Mindanao, particularly in Misamis, Surigao, and Agusan. This bill was rejected by the Philippine Commission for several reasons. According to the commission: Since 1932, Clarin also served as acting senate president when Senate President Manuel Quezon was on leave. He remained as a member of the Philippine Senate until his sudden death in 1935.

Controversy In 1910, there were protests made within the Philippine Assembly against the membership of Clarin representing Bohol. However, these protests were dismissed.

During his time in the Assembly, there were numerous attempts to unseat him.

Personal life Clarin was never married.

His younger brother, Olegario Clarin, was also a senator and representative of Bohol.
