However, the governor vowed to contest the preventive suspension, asserting that it lacks legal basis.

He also questioned the timing of the suspension order, suggesting it is suspicious given the upcoming elections.

Currently, Vice Governor Glenda Ong Bongao has assumed the role of acting governor of Albay.
