Solidum promises to be a 'facilitator and marketer' of the scientific community's advocacies and products.

In the same year, he was assigned as officer-in-charge of Phivolcs. In 2019, he became undersecretary for Scientific and Technical Services. That has been my goal: to serve the country.” He held the position for 14 years until he became undersecretary for Disaster Risk Reduction and Climate Change Adaptation in 2017.
