Edcel Greco Alexandre "Grex" Burce Lagman[2] (born July 24, 1972[3]), is a Filipino lawyer and politician from the province of Albay.

On December 1, 2022, he became Governor of Albay following the Commission on Elections (COMELEC) disqualification of former Governor Noel Rosal.[4][5][6][7][8][excessive citations] Lagman was previously elected as Vice-Governor of Albay twice in 2019 and in 2022. On both elections, as per COMELEC-Albay records, he garnered an unprecedented number of votes for said position totalling 360,013 in 2019 and 463,879 votes in 2022, respectively.[6]

He was also elected in the House of Representatives of the Philippines as Congressman of the First District of Albay in 2013 and was elected as the Assistant Majority Floor Leader of the House of Representatives of the Philippines' 16th Congress (2013-2016).

Prior to being a member of Congress, Lagman also made history in Quezon City politics in 2004 when he became the very first neophyte candidate to top the councilorship race in said city, representing its Fourth District. This effectively made him the third highest ranked elected official in the city after Mayor Feliciano Belmonte and Vice-Mayor Herbert Bautista. He was again elected in 2007 and in 2010 he was once again elected as topnotcher councilor.
