Two or more Geodetic Control points shall be used in the densification of horizontal controls
using GPS.
Project controls established using GPS must at least comply with the third (3 rd) order positional
accuracy requirement set by NAMRIA.
In case of project controls established using Total Stations or similar equipment, the area,
measured in hectares, of the ancestral land/domain shall be the basis in determining the type of
control to be used. Under such condition, the following type of control as prescribed under DENR
Administrative Order (DAO) 98-12 (Revised Manual of Land Surveying Regulations in the
Philippines):
Area
Less than 1,500 hectares
More than 1,500 to 15,000 hectares
More than 15,000 hectares
Type of Control
Tertiary
Secondary
Primary
g. Perimeter Survey.The survey must be tied to existing reference points of acceptable
accuracy established by NAMRIA, DENR, NCIP, and other recognized agencies pursuant to the
Philippine Reference System of 1992(PRS-92).
In areas where conventional survey instruments are to be used and sufficient control has already
been established, survey and installation of monuments may be done simultaneously.
Otherwise, the collection of survey data for each corner shall be made only after the installation
of the monuments. Installation of monuments shall be supervised by NCIP Field Personnel or
Survey Party. The survey team must note on the record sheets all observations and findings such
as daily weather conditions, persons/entities met/coordinated with, daily activities as well as
problems encountered affecting the conduct of the survey and the corresponding actions taken in
response thereto. Proper coordination with the field offices shall be done to ensure successful
completion of the project.
The conduct of perimeter survey shall adhere to the principle of self-delineation in which the
traditional boundaries shall be established to determine the metes and bounds of the ancestral
domains/lands. However, if due to more recent agreements and community consensus, the
applicant community decides that its claim is congruent to or delimited by political or
administrative boundaries, the approved technical descriptions of these boundaries shall be
adopted. Such agreements or community consensus shall be in the form of written resolution
signed by the elders/leaders.
Community members knowledgeable of the boundaries of the ancestral land/domain shall point
out the sites/location where the monuments are to be installed. The survey team shall thereafter
prepare a sketch showing the relative location of the markers and other related information such
as traditional names of places. Documentation thereof shall include pictures explicitly showing
the community representative pointing to the installed monuments and identified markers.
If the area to be surveyed adjoins another ancestral land/domain, the representative/s from the
adjoining ancestral land/domain, aside from being notified, shall send a community member
knowledgeable of the boundaries of their land/domain to join the survey team. The agreement
during the boundary conflict resolution shall be followed.
h.
Data Processing, Preparation of Survey Returns and Technical Report.The
survey plan shall be prepared in accordance with cartographic standards and specific details
prescribed in Sec. 86 hereof. It shall indicate the orientation, final boundaries, technical
descriptions, footnotes, marginal information, natural landmarks/features, technical marks and
other relevant details. It shall be conformed to by the authorized representatives of the applicant
community.
All documents that form part of the survey return shall be prepared in prescribed ADO Forms
described in Sec. 87.
i.
Projection of Survey Plan. Within fifteen (15) days after the initial verification and
projection of the survey returns, a copy of the sketch plans shall be furnished to the DENR, DAR
and LRA for purposes of common projection in order to determine if there are titled properties
and lands with approved surveys that overlap with the surveyed AL/AD. Consequently, said
agencies shall issue either a certification of non-overlap or comments/remarks on the result of
the projection.
