He was later promoted to Examiner then to Budget Officer. During the department’s re-organization in 1989 he was appointed Chief Agrarian Reform Program Officer for Administration at the DAR field office in Leyte.

In 2003 he was designated as PARO-II for Biliran. He was transferred to Southern Leyte in July 2009. Yap said his appointment has inspired him to perform his job till he retires three years hence. (Source PIA Tacloban)
