Veto Power of the Governor.
Section 20
SEC. 20. Veto Power of the Governor. — The provincial governor may veto any ordinance of the sangguniang panlalawigan on the ground that it is prejudicial to the public welfare, stating his reasons thereof in writing. The governor shall have the power to veto any particular item or items of an appropriation ordinance, and ordinance or resolution adopting a local development plan, and public investment program or an ordinance directing the payment of money or creating liability. In such case, the veto shall not affect the item or items which are not objected to. The vetoed item or items shall not take effect unless the sangguniang panlalawigan overrides the veto in the manner herein provided; otherwise, the item or items in the appropriations ordinance of the previous year corresponding to those vetoed, if any, shall be deemed reenacted. The governor may veto an ordinance or resolution only once. The sanggunian may override the veto of the governor by two-thirds (2/3) vote of all its members, thereby making the ordinance effective even without the approval of the provincial governor.
