    This case determines whether a mayor who assumed office before an election by operation of law and was then elected to the same office for two consecutive terms has served more than the maximum three consecutive terms. The Constitution bars elective local officials from serving more than three consecutive terms, with the exception of barangay officials. The private respondent was elected vice-mayor in 2001 and became mayor in 2004 upon the death of the incumbent, then elected mayor in 2004 and 2007. The court must decide if this constitutes more than three consecutive terms.
