Camille Izabel Policarpio Clarin (born May 28, 2001) is a Filipino-Canadian college basketball player. She plays for the NU Lady Bulldogs and also represents the Philippine national team in international competitions.

Early life

[edit]

Clarin was born in Antipolo, Rizal, but grew up in Canada.[1][2] She first played basketball at the age of 10. She had to play in all-boys leagues to get better in her sport. Aside from basketball, she also was a swimmer and a figure skater.[3] As she grew older, she played in the Ontario Basketball Association (OBA).[4]

Clarin then played for Blair Academy in New Jersey.[5] At age 15, she tore her anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) going up for a layup while playing in the Filipino Basketball Association of North America (FBA-NA) tournament. She spent most of her sophomore season recuperating. She became a three-time Mid-Atlantic Prep League champion in her time there.[6] In her senior year, she broke her own school record by hitting 11 three-pointers (10 was her previous record set earlier).[7]

College career

[edit]

Clarin plays for the NU Lady Bulldogs, the women's team of the National University (NU), in the UAAP. She was originally going to play for Hamilton, a Division III college.[8] Instead, she came to the Philippines and played for NU.[5] Her rookie season was in 2019.[2] That season, she helped the Lady Bulldogs extend their winning streak to 96 games and win their sixth straight championship.[9] She was also given an Athlete Scholar award at the end of Season 82.[10]

In Season 84, she helped NU claim a three-peat in 3x3 basketball.[11]

In Season 85, she was part of the NU squad that won their 100th straight game.[12] Their streak ended at 108 games in a loss to the De La Salle Green Archers, their first in nine seasons.[13] They were able to win their seventh straight championship that season, tying them with the UE Red Warriors for most consecutive championships in the league.[14]

For Season 86, Clarin became the team captain.[15] They began their season with a win over the Ateneo Blue Eagles in which she scored 11 points.[16] They got their first loss of the season against the UP Fighting Maroons.[17] She scored a season-high 19 points against DLSU by shooting 7-of-12 from field while also contributing six rebounds.[18] NU got to second place in the standings with a win over the Adamson Soaring Falcons in which she had 18 points, three rebounds, three assists, and two steals.[19] They got their sixth straight win since losing to UP in a game versus the FEU Tamaraws in which she had 12 points, five assists, four steals, and three rebounds.[20] NU then rose to first place in the standings with another win over Ateneo.[21] They closed out the elimination rounds on an 11-game winning streak, securing the first seed with another win over UP in which she nearly had a double-double with eight points and nine assists.[22]

In their playoff run, the Bulldogs faced the fourth seed Ateneo in the Final Four.[23] Clarin led them past Ateneo in their matchup with 12 points.[24] In the Finals, they faced the UST Tigresses, and in Game 1, UST took the upset win despite her 18 points, six assists, and five rebounds.[25] In Game 2, she missed two clutch free throws, but NU held on to win.[26] Despite those missed free throws, she had a great performance with 18 points, eight assists, two rebounds, and one steal.[27] However, in Game 3, she had her worst performance of the season with 0-for-11 shooting, and NU lost the championship to UST.[15]

National team career

[edit]

In 2019, Clarin made a game-winning putback for the win over the Netherlands in the 2019 Fiba 3x3 Under-18 World Cup.[28] Then, they beat Czech Republic in overtime.[29] Their run ended when they lost in the quarterfinals to China.[30] Later that year, they beat China in the FIBA Women’s 3×3 Under-18 Asian Championship to claim bronze.[31]

Clarin first played for the senior team in 2021 for that year's FIBA Women's Asia Cup.[32] She won her first SEA Games gold medal in 2022 for women's 5x5 basketball.[33] That same year, she also competed in the 2022 FIBA Asia 3x3 Cup.[34] They failed to make it to the main draw after a loss to Thailand and were eliminated early.[35] In 2023, she helped Gilas get a SEA Games silver medal despite battling a flu throughout the tournament.[36] She also helped Gilas retain its Division A status during the 2023 FIBA Women's Asia Cup.[37]

In 2024, Clarin helped Gilas make it to the main draw of the 2024 FIBA 3x3 Asia Cup as they went undefeated in the qualifying draw.[38] However, they then lost to Chinese Taipei in the quarterfinals.[39]

Personal life

[edit]

Clarin is currently in a relationship with Shaun Ildefonso, a PBA player.[40] They met while they were both playing for NU.[41]

Clarin is an analyst for the Philippine edition of NBA.com.[42] She also hosts NBA Hype on Cignal TV.[2] She is also an endorser for Nike and Milo Drink.[5]

Clarin has cited NBA and WNBA 3-point champions Ray Allen, Allie Quigley, and Klay Thompson as players she looks up to.[2]
