Roberto Yu Uy, also known as Berto Uy (born December 28, 1951) is a Chinese Filipino businessman and politician from the province of Zamboanga del Norte in the Philippines.

He took up a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering at Adamson University.

Prior to politics, he worked with his father in managing their family businesses, which include a hotel and pension house, a fast food restaurant, a hardware store, and sale of copra.

Uy started in politics served as Officer in Charge-Barangay Captain of Barangay Central, an urban barangay of Dipolog.

1998

Uy started his political career when he was elected and sworn as Mayor of Dipolog from 1998 to 2007.

2007

As he was term-limited and barred from running for a fourth term, Uy ran for Governor of Zamboanga del Norte in 2007 but was defeated by then-Governor Rolando E. Yebes.

Uy briefly retired from politics and return to his business endeavors.

He is married to Evelyn Tang Uy who also served as mayor of Dipolog (2007–2016), and had 7 children together, including Roberto Uy Jr. or "Pin-Pin" who was mayor of Polanco (2013–2016), and Darel Dexter who is mayor of Dipolog (2016–present).

Pinpin was a businessman working with his father's business prior to joining politics.

His business portfolio includes hotel and sale of copra.

2013

In 2013, Uy made his return to politics after being elected as Governor of Zamboanga del Norte in 2013, defeating 3rd legislative district Representative Cesar Jalosjos, and in 2016 against former Governor Yebes.

The Ombudsman found Uy guilty of simple misconduct for the termination of 6 Provincial Government employees, hired under the administration of former Governor Rolando Yebes, since assuming office in 2013.

2016

In 2016, Uy and two other provincial officials were sued by the City Government of Dapitan over the alleged illegal extraction or quarrying of sand and gravel in Dapitan's remote Barangay Aseniero, conducted by the Provincial Engineering Office since 2014.

In 2024, two employees of the Zamboanga del Norte provincial government filed cases before the Office of the Ombudsman against Uy and his son, Dapitan mayor Darel Dexter Uy, accusing them of graft over the donation of P925.58 million worth of equipment belonging to the provincial government to local governments.

Sometime after being reelected in the 2016 local election, Uy was suspended by the Office of the Ombudsman for three months for simple misconduct.

In a privilege speech made in the House of Representatives on September 21, 2016, Rep. Seth Frederick "Bullet" Jalosjos of Zamboanga del Norte's 1st District linked Uy and the police to the drug trade in the province.

Uy, who at the time was facing suspension for simple misconduct by the Ombudsman, denied the claims made, and challenged Jalosjos to a debate which led to a congressional hearing right after.

2019

In 2019, another candidate for governor ran under the name "Roberto Escobido Uy", which is similar to Uy's name, and used the same nickname.

The Commission on Elections declared the candidacy of "Roberto Escobido Uy" as nuisance, making the incumbent governor the legitimate candidate to participate.

The decision was affirmed by the Supreme Court of the Philippines months after the election.

Uy won the 2019 election against 1st legislative district Representative Bullet Jalosjos and "Escobido Uy," securing a third and final term in office.
