Maria Jocelyn "Joy" Valera Bernos is a Filipina politician currently serving as the vice governor of Abra.[1] She was previously the governor of the province from 2016 to 2022, a member of the House of Representatives representing Abra's at-large congressional district from 2010 to 2016, and a member of the Abra Provincial Board from 2007 to 2010.[2]
She stood for the 2016 gubernatorial election under the banner of the NUP,[3] however, since 2019, she has stood as a member of ASENSO.[2] [4]
On August 12, 2024, she was ordered suspended by President Bongbong Marcos for 18 months following an investigation into her unilaterally ordering the lockdown of a hospital in Bangued during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, when she was governor.[5] However, her suspension was halted on technical grounds by a court in Abra, which issued a 20-day temporary restraining order against the decision on September 2.[6] The TRO expired on 23 September, rendering the supension final and executory.[7]
