Vicente Pimentel Jr. (March 12, 1947[1] – December 25, 2018), also known as BB Boy Pimentel or simply BB Pimentel, was a Filipino politician. He served as the governor of Surigao del Sur province for three non-consecutive terms from 2001 until 2010 and again from 2016 until his death in office on December 25, 2018.[2][3]
Pimentel began his professional career in politics as a barangay captain in Tandag, the capital of Surigao del Sur.[2] He served as the mayor of Carrascal, Surigao del Sur, from 1992 until 2001 and again from 2010 to 2016.[2] Pimentel then served as governor of Surigao del Sur from 2016 until his death in 2018.
In 2018, Pimentel filed to run for re-election as governor in the forthcoming 2019 Philippine general election in May 2019.[2] However, Pimentel later withdrew from his re-election race due to deteriorating health.[2] His younger brother, Tandag Mayor Alexander Pimentel, replaced him as the new gubernatorial candidate.[2]
Governor Pimentel was hospitalized in Manila in December 2018, but checked himself out of the hospital on December 24 to return home to Surigao del Sur for Christmas.[2] He died in his sleep the next day on December 25, 2018, at his home in Surigao del Sur at the age of 71.[2]
