Governor of Bohol

On May 10, 2022, Aumentado was proclaimed as new governor of province after defeating the then incumbent governor Arthur C. Yap via landslide. [16]

On October 19, 2022, Aumentado was appointed chairman of the Regional Development Council (RDC) in Central Visayas through a submitted transmittal letter from President Bongbong Marcos. [17]

Suspension

On May 28, 2024, Aumentado alongside 68 other Bohol officials received preventive suspensions from the Office of the Ombudsman due to the cases filed against Aumentado with illegal construction of buildings in the middle of the Chocolate Hills. [18]

According to the order that was distributed, Aumentado will be suspended for six months from office. [19] This led to Vice Governor Dionisio Balite temporarily assuming the office of governor that day. [20]

On June 11, 2024, Aumentado filed an appeal to reconsider the Ombudsman's preventive suspension. [21] The Ombudsman Samuel Martires, in his Order dated July 31, lifted the six-month suspension of Aumentado and 30 other officials. [22]
