True to his calling as a researcher and to expand his networks and linkage, John Paul Pacyao saw it right to apply and was approved as the newest associate member of the National Research Council of the Philippines (NRCP) of the Department of Science and Technology (DOST-NRCP) under Division V-Biological Science. 

After attending the DOST-NRCP Caravan held last 28 June 2021, Pacyao challenged himself to become a member of the Council. “Why not try?” says Pacyao. “We must go beyond our limits and area of jurisdiction to improve and strengthen our RDE here in Davao Occidental. If we limit ourselves to only deem on our comfort zone, we hamper development,” added Pacyao.
