Geodetic Control Point (GCP) - refers to a point, permanent in nature, used in surveys as reference, which is established through: (a) Conventional Method - triangulation, trilateration, and any combination thereof, together with leveling and astronomical observation in order to determine the accurate geographic position of the point taking in consideration the curvature of the earth; and, (b) Satellite survey such as that used in Global Positioning System (GPS)Technology. i. Global Positioning System (GPS) Instrument- refers to the instrument used to obtain positional data by using the constellation of satellites orbiting around the earth at a high altitude.

Perimeter Survey –refers to the type of survey used to determine the distance and direction of boundary lines and the total land area of the AL/AD. p. Project Control Points (PCP)- refer to reference points used in surveys over areas of limited extent, which are established by traverse, triangulation, or a combination thereof, together with levelling and/or using GPS in order to determine the position of control points in between stations of geodetic accuracy. q. Provincial Delineation Team (PDT)- refers to that group constituted on the Provincial level that is tasked to gather, process, and field validate proofs, produce or re-produce pertinent documents and papers for the processing of CADT/CALT applications. r. Regional Review Body (RRB)- refers to that Body constituted at the Regional level that shall review and evaluate documents related to the delineation and recognition of AL/AD before any endorsement by the Regional Director. Re-Survey - refers to a survey undertaken on an AL/AD with an existing approved survey for the purpose of correcting the technicalities of the survey previously made, such that the original survey output is rendered void and replaced with the re-survey output. s. t. Self-delineation -refers to the identification and determination by the ICCs/IPs of their AL/AD, and the extent and traditional boundaries thereof. u. Survey Authority (SA) - refers to an order issued by the Director of the Ancestral Domains Office (ADO) authorizing a duly accredited private Geodetic Engineer or those under the employ of partner agencies/institutions to conduct surveys of AL/AD. v.
