These experiences enabled him to be involved in various major projects of the DA where he was exposed to operations and started to build networks; engaged agencies within and outside the DA; and was involved in a wide range of operational concerns that enabled him to develop a passion for public service over time.

Mr. Eric C. Divinagracia has extensive experience in the field of agriculture particularly in the field of pest management. He has served under the nation’s leading fertilizer and pesticide companies for more than 20 years before joining the government in 2017. He honed his skills in sales and marketing and in designing and managing operations, especially in terms of quality control, project management, capacity building, and tactical and strategic planning.

As public servant under the FPA, Mr. Divinagracia initiated and led the adoption of electronic processing of Certificate Authorizing Importation of Pesticides (CAIP). This was a huge contribution to FPA as it shortened the processing time from a month to 3-5 days.

Mr. Divinagracia also pushed for ISO certification as he headed the FPA Quality Management Committee. Under his guidance, FPA received its ISO 9001:2015 certification in 2018.

It was also Mr. Divinagracia’s initiative to simplify FPA processes by:

• Establishing a standard FPA email address for effective internal communications
• Initiating the online system application and inquiry for stakeholders on the status of product registration through specific email address concern
• Formulating a simplified form of product registration status report for the stakeholders

Mr. Divinagracia obtained his Master’s Degree in Management major in Public Administration at Philippine Christian University last 2021. He finished his Bachelor of Science in Agriculture Major in Horticulture at the University of the Philippines – Los Baños.
