The following objects shall be considered as monuments/markers of permanent nature:
a.
Boundary Monuments. For ADs, rectangular parallelepiped concrete monuments
measuring 25 cm x 25 cm x 100 cm, set 80 cm. on the ground shall be installed, with “ADBM
NCIP” (Ancestral Domain Boundary Monument NCIP) inscribed on top.
For ALs, cylindrical concrete monuments measuring 20 cm. in diameter and 80 cm. in height or
rectangular parallelepiped concrete monuments measuring 20 cm. x 20 cm. x 80 cm., set 60 cm.
on the ground shall be installed, with “ALBM” (Ancestral Land Boundary Monument) inscribed
on top.
The foregoing monuments shall be centered with a galvanized iron spike, nail, rod or conical hole
(not exceeding 2 cm in diameter and not less than 1 cm in depth). Inscriptions shall be at least
0.50 cm deep.
b.
Intermediate corners. Intermediate corners shall be defined by rectangular parallelepiped
concrete monuments measuring 15 cm x 15 cm x 60 cm, set 50 cm on the ground and inscribed
on top with “ADBM” for AD or “ALBM” for AL and centered with galvanized iron spike, nail, rod or
conical hole (not exceeding 2 cm in diameter and not less than 1 cm in depth). Inscriptions shall
be at least 0.50 cm deep.
c.
Immovable or Fixed Hard Rocks/Boulders. The corners of the AL/AD may be defined by
immovable or fixed hard rocks or boulders with surface exposed measuring not less than one (1)
meter in diameter. The same shall be marked either with an “x” chiseled thereon or patched with
cement putty centered with a hole, spike, or nail, and labeled correspondingly.
d.
Other Monuments. The following objects shall also be considered as monuments of
permanent nature:
1.
2.
3.
Concrete posts of fences with outside diameters measuring at least twenty (20) cm.
Living edible fruit trees or trees belonging to the first group measuring at least fifteen
(15) centimeters in diameter
Points on masonry or concrete walls
e.
Witness Corner Monuments (WCM). When the AL/AD being surveyed involves
inaccessible/submerged corners, at least two (2) “witness monuments” shall be established as
near as possible to the said corner/boundary. The corners defined by the witness points should
be visible from the inaccessible points. The witness corner may be set using a cylindrical
concrete monument that is 15 cm diameter and 60 cm long and set 40 cm on the ground. The
letters “WCM” shall be engraved in such monuments.
The location of witness monuments shall be indicated on the survey plan.
