Judge Ramon Delariarte finished his pre-law at Central Philippine University in 1959 and up to second year in Law proper in 1963. He practiced law from 1964 up to 2002, when he became a judge in Bacolod City. He was a member of the Order of Kalantiao of CPU in 1960, and President of the Integrated Bar of the Philippines, Negros Chapter in 1996. He retired from service in 2007.
While practicing law in Iloilo, he was with the group of Demy Sonza, an Iloilo Province Board Member, who brought him to join the Students of Rizal and the Graciano Lopez Jaena Foundation.
The retired judge was glad to be invited to the Bacolod Pavillon Hotel for the Grand Alumni Homecoming by the CPU College of Agriculture Alumni Association. Grateful for and delighted by the honor accorded to him, Delariarte brought back stories of his stint as a work student in CPU, way back in the late 50’s and 60’s. He told his story of how a Centralian work student who labored as a CPU janitor worked his way up to become a successful lawyer and judge.
Judge Delariarte is married to Hermelina Divinagracia from Dumangas, Iloilo, with whom he has four professional children. They reside in Bacolod City.
