Section 5
SEC. 5. The provincial governor shall discharge the duties of his office under the general supervision of the Civil Governor of the Islands, to whom he shall report from time to time. If the provincial governor be at the same time the commanding general of the Department of Mindanao and Jolo, he shall furnish copies of the reports made by him to the Civil Governor to the Commanding General of the troops in the Philippine Islands, if such officer shall so require; he shall see that the laws are faithfully executed by all officers of the province, districts, subdistricts, and municipalities. Subject to the provisions of law, he shall have control, through the proper district governors, of the municipal police of the various municipalities therein, and, through the seventh assistant chief of Philippines Constabulary, he may direct the use and control the movements of the Insular Constabulary within the Moro Province; he may, when public interests require, temporarily withdraw the Constabulary from one district for use in another; he shall visit at least once in every six months the capitals of every district in the province. Upon complaint made, or of his own motion, the provincial governor may suspend from the execution of the duties of his office any district officer for misconduct or incompetency in office; he shall order the provincial attorney to prefer formal charges against and serve the same upon the accused officer, and after due hearing may dismiss the charges, impose any penalty by loss of pay or a definite period of suspension upon the offender, or, if the charges warrant, dismiss him from office. If the charges involve either criminal or civil liability of the accused, he may direct the provincial attorney to bring a proper action, either criminal or civil, in the public interest against the accused officer. He shall make a report of the conditions of the province between the first and fifteenth of September of each year to the Civil Governor of the Islands for the year ending on the first day of September, recommending therein such measures, executive or legislative, as it may seem to him best that the Insular Executive or the Commission should take for the betterment of the conditions in the province. He shall, when notified by the judge of any Court of First Instance of the province that the decrees and judgments of the court can not be enforced with the ordinary procedure and by the use of the usual officers of the law, give such assistance with the Constabulary and municipal police as shall bring about a prompt enforcement of such judgments and decrees. The provincial governor, by and with the advice and consent of the legislative council hereinafter created, shall appoint the district governors, the lieutenant governor of the subdistrict of Dapitan, the district treasurers, and the district secretaries. The provincial governor shall also appoint all the subordinate officers and employees in the provincial government of the Moro Province under the provisions of the Civil Service Act, except such employees as are paid from special appropriations for public works, all of whom shall be appointed or employed in such manner as the legislative council may direct, not inconsistent with the Civil Service Law.
