MANILA - Health Undersecretary Eric Domingo said Monday he has resigned as director-general of the Food and Drug Administration.
Domingo was named as officer-in-charge of the regulatory office in May 2019, according to the DOH. He was named as FDA director-general in May 2020.
"Yes, effective today. I believe I did my part to help during the pandemic. The FDA is now stronger, more efficient and systems are in place. It's time for me to move on to other things," he told ABS-CBN News.
It was under Domingo's helm that the FDA granted the emergency use authorization of nine COVID-19 vaccines and two drugs used in coronavirus treatment.
