Gwendolyn Fiel Garcia-Codilla (born October 12, 1955) is a Filipina politician serving as the governor of Cebu since 2019, a position she previously held from 2004 and 2013, being the first woman to hold that office.

From December 2012 to June 2013, Garcia was preventively suspended by the Office of the President pending an investigation into a complaint of "grave abuse of authority" filed by the late Vice-Gov.

[2] In November 2020, the Sandiganbayan dismissed the graft charges against Garcia and seven others in relation to the provincial government's 2008 purchase of the Balili estate in Barangay Tinaan, City of Naga.

[5] Another brother, Byron Garcia, has been a security consultant for the Cebu Provincial Detention and Rehabilitation Center (CPDRC), which caught global attention in 2007 for its rendition of Michael Jackson's "Thriller" featuring its inmates.

[13] During her three terms, Garcia claimed to have pursued a 12-point agenda for her administration, implementing economically viable development programs that effectively responded to the needs of the Cebuano constituency – in infrastructure, water, power, health, education, agriculture and food production, women and children, business, tourism and the environment.

This, later on, became her 12-point plus 2 agenda of the government, with the inclusion of an enhanced information and communication portfolio that showcase the Province of Cebu and strong international relations aimed at creating beneficial linkages with the global community.

The investigation also found that Garcia committed grave abuse of authority by hiring consultants without getting approval from the provincial legislative council, the Sangguniang Panlalawigan.

[23] On March 20, 2024, Mayor Michael Rama, her fellow PDP–Laban (later known as Partido Demokratiko Pilipino or PDP) member, filed an administrative complaint before the Office of President and sought the suspension of Governor Garcia regarding the Cebu Bus Rapid Transit System.

Garcia issued a memorandum to stop the CBRT construction in heritage buffer zones of the Cebu Provincial Capitol and Fuente Osmeña Circle on February 27, 2024.

During the press conference, she pulled out large sheets of paper with Facebook comments printed on them, while having the posts broadcast on half the screen through Sugbo News, the province's public information office.

[33] This action was met with criticism and backlash on social media, as well as the Commission on Human Rights (CHR) for publicly exposing and belittling the personal information of said netizen.

[33] In another incident on June 23, 2020, Garcia extensively shamed a doctor who had criticized the local mandate of relying on tuob (steam inhalation) to treat possible symptoms of novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).

"[37] Governor said that based on the death certificate, Nelson Garcia died due to "immediate cardio pulmonary arrest secondary to probable massive embolism".
