The governor of Misamis Occidental (Filipino : Punong Panlalawigan ng Misamis Occidental), is the chief executive of the provincial government of Misamis Occidental. The governor holds office at the Misamis Occidental Provincial Capitol. Like all local government heads in the Philippines, the governor is elected via popular vote, and may not be elected for a fourth consecutive term (although the former governor may return to office after an interval of one term). In case of death, resignation or incapacity, the vice governor becomes the governor.

Notes

  1. 1 2 Sources claim that Quijano served as governor until 1967, while Regalado began serving as governor after Quijano in 1964. Therefore, a conflict of dates arose. [4] [5]
