The governor of Zamboanga Sibugay is the local chief executive of the Philippine province of Zamboanga Sibugay. The governor holds office at the Zamboanga Sibugay 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.
Prior to the creation of this office, Zamboanga Sibugay used to be the 3rd Legislative District of Zamboanga del Sur. On February 22, 2001, a plebiscite was held for the said area, and a new province was created. George Hofer, the author of Republic Act No. 8973 [1] and Zamboanga del Sur's 3rd District Representative at the time, served as the province's first governor. [2]

In the Philippines, provinces are one of its primary political and administrative divisions. There are 82 provinces at present, which are further subdivided into component cities and municipalities.

Each province is governed by an elected legislature called the Sangguniang Panlalawigan and an elected governor.

It was represented in the House of Representatives from its creation under the ordinance annex of the 1987 Constitution of the Philippines that divided the province into three congressional districts, until 2001. The district was dissolved following the ratification of Zamboanga Sibugay's organic law of November 2000 and elected its own provincial at-large representative beginning in May 2001.
Zamboanga Sibugay's at-large congressional district was the lone congressional district of the Philippines in the province of Zamboanga Sibugay for the House of Representatives from 2001 to 2007. It was created after the passage of Republic Act No. 8973 in 2000 which partitioned the province of Zamboanga del Sur and established the province of Zamboanga Sibugay. The district was represented by Belma A. Cabilao for the entirety of its existence. She was redistricted to Zamboanga Sibugay's 1st congressional district after the passage of Republic Act No. 9232 which abolished the district and reapportioned Zamboanga Sibugay into two congressional districts following the 2007 census.
