Agra was appointed by President
Gloria Macapagal Arroyo as acting
solicitor general and acting
justice secretary in 2010. Three years later, the
Supreme Court declared his dual appointment as unconstitutional. During his tenure as justice secretary, he dropped charges against two suspects in the
Ampatuan massacre case,
ARMM governor
Zaldy Ampatuan and his brother Akmad Ampatuan. His department also failed to protect Suwaib Upham, a key witness and self-confessed participant in the massacre who sought witness protection and was later murdered in
Maguindanao. Two days before the end of his term, he dismissed charges against government personnel accused of
human trafficking. On 2016, he was appointed by President
Rodrigo Duterte as chairman of the board of Philippine Reclamation Authority. ==References==
