Elected officials

Who holds office in Bicol

Start with a province, narrow to a city or municipality, then to a barangay. Every name carries a badge saying how well sourced it is, and where we hold no verified record the page says so instead of guessing.

How local government stacks

Four elected layers

Each layer is elected separately and holds its own budget. Understanding the stack is what makes the rest of this section readable.

Province

Governor, Vice Governor, and the Sangguniang Panlalawigan

Six provinces. The governor runs the province; the board members are elected by district.

6 provinces

City or municipality

Mayor, Vice Mayor, and the Sanggunian

114 cities and municipalities. The vice mayor presides over the council but only votes to break a tie.

114 LGUs

Barangay

Punong Barangay and seven Kagawad

3,471 barangays. This is the layer people actually deal with, and the layer no other Bicol site indexes as a set.

3,471 barangays

Youth council

SK Chairperson and seven SK Kagawad

One Sangguniang Kabataan per barangay, with its own budget share.

3,471 councils

We will not publish a name we have not checked. Roughly 31,000 barangay officials serve in Bicol. Filling that in with plausible-looking names would be the fastest way to destroy the credibility of every other figure on this site. Names arrive from the COMELEC canvass, the DILG directory and barangay hall boards, and each one is badged by how well it is sourced.
