Military career

Grapa began his service as a platoon leader in the 6th Infantry "Kampilan" Division. He rose through the ranks, eventually shifting into logistics and support operations, where he held major commands.

In September 2022, he was appointed as the Army Chief of Ordnance and Chemical Service (ACOCS), replacing Col. Fernando B. Dulawan. [1]

As Chief of ACOCS, Grapa played a leading role in the Philippine–U.S. Logistics Subject Matter Expert Exchange (LOGSMEE) in July 2022, fostering interoperability and strengthening support systems between the two forces. [2]

In August 2024, he was designated as Deputy Commander of the Army Support Command, succeeding BGen Arnel José J. Morada. [3]

His promotion Brigadier General was confirmed by the Commission on Appointments during a plenary session on 4 September 2024.
