The governor is elected by a direct vote from the people and has a fixed term of three years. A governor can serve only up to a maximum of three consecutive terms. He may however be suspended by either the [[Ombudsman of the Philippines|ombudsman]] or the [[President of the Philippines|president]], through the [[Secretary of the Interior and Local Government|secretary of the interior and local government]]. He may be removed by the president if found guilty of an administrative case or a criminal act during his tenure. He may be subjected to a [[recall vote]], but unlike a referendum, the voters elect the governor of their choice. In case of death, disability, resignation, forced removal, or suspension, the [[vice governor]], elected separately in the same election for governor, succeeds as governor, or acting governor, as the case may be. During both the [[History of the Philippines (1565–1898)|Spanish]] and [[History of the Philippines (1898–1946)|American colonial periods]], as well as during the [[Japanese occupation of the Philippines|Japanese occupation]] of [[World War II]], the chief executive of the Philippines was the [[governor-general of the Philippines]]. The highest ranking executive of the [[Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao]] was called ''regional governor''. The regional governor is elected every three years, separately from a regional vice governor who replaces the regional governor if the latter vacates the position. [[Bangsamoro]], its replacement, has the [[Wa'lī of Bangsamoro|wa'lī]] (Arabic for "governor") as its head of the region, and is elected by [[Bangsamoro Parliament|parliament]] for a six-year term.
