Definition of terms
1. Control Survey – survey conducted to determine the horizontal and vertical positions of
points which will form part of a geodetic network or project controls over an area which will
subsequently become the basis in determining the rectangular coordinates in an area (Section
4 of DAO 2007-29). Control survey can be classified as Geodetic or Project.
a. Geodetic Control Survey -surveys conducted covering extensive areas which take into
account the curvature and the geoid-spheroidal shape of the earth at sea level for the
purpose of establishing basic network of reference points, covering the first and second
order controls (Section 4.a of DAO 2007-29).
b. Project Control Survey -surveys conducted to establish the positions of points of
reference for projects with a limited geographic coverage such as a municipality, a large
isolated tract of land, a group settlement, a barangay or group of municipalities,
covering primary control (third order), secondary control (fourth order) and tertiary
control (Section 4.b of DAO 2007-29).

2. Cadastral Surveys – survey made to determine the metes and bounds of all parcels within an
entire municipality or city for land registration purposes (Section 5 of DAO 2007-29).
a. Numerical Cadastre – cadastral survey wherein bearings and distances of the
individual lots are determined from the computations based on the actual ground
survey
b. Graphical Cadastre – cadastral survey wherein bearings and distances of the
individual lots are determined using transit and stadia, scaling from photo map,
and other graphical methods
c. Public land subdivision – subdivision of Alienable and Disposable (A&D) lands
covering an area of more than 1,500 hectares

3. Isolated surveys – comprised of all classes of surveys of isolated parcels of land used for
agricultural, residential, commercial, resettlement, or other purposes covering areas not
more than 1,500 hectares (Section 6 of DAO 2007-29).
a. Group Settlement/Townsite Subdivision Surveys – subdivision of A&D lands of not
more than 1,500 hectares into 50 parcels or more
b. Public land surveys – all original surveys covering A&D lands which has not subjected
to private rights nor devoted to public use pursuant to the provisions of public land laws
c. Amendment surveys – surveys covering untitled/undecreed properties by changing
the number of lots without affecting the original technical description of the boundary
d. Private land surveys – surveys covering lands claimed or owned by an individual, a
partnership, a corporation, or any other form of organization, undertaken for purposes of
original or subsequent land registration
e. Government land surveys – surveys of parcel of lands administered by or belonging to
the National Government of any of its branches and instrumentalities which include:
i. Friar land estate surveys – surveys on lands purchased by the government from
the Religious Orders and private corporations from 1904 to 1913

GENG_04 – Cartography
BSGE 1
ii. National government lands surveys – surveys of all patrimonial properties
owned by the government not intended for public use
iii. Local Government Units (LGU) land surveys – surveys on the lands acquired
by the provincial, city/municipal, or barangay government pursuant to RA 7160, and
other pertinent laws.
f. Conversion surveys – surveys conducted for the purpose of transforming/converting
the lots covered by approved graphical cadastral surveys, cadastral mapping (Cadm)
and photocadastral mapping (PCadm), into numerical or regular cadastral lots, with
computation and plotting in the system of the cadastral project.
g. Other land surveys – surveys made for purposes of determining the metes and
bounds of parcels not included in the enumeration above and intended for a specific
purpose.

Each of these surveys requires the preparation and approval of plans from DENR to
register such property formally.

The following specifications and standards focus only on the information found
in the survey plan. However, other requirements need to comply with the approval of
such plan. Other requirements are listed in the DMC 2010-13.

3. Scale for isolated survey – The scale to be used in plotting survey shall
depend on the difference in the northing of the extreme north and south corner
or in the easting of the extreme east and west of the lots, whichever is bigger.
Annex XXIV of this Manual provides the table on scale that shall be used in
plotting isolated plan.
4. Plotting and centering of lot in an isolated survey plan: One plan of each
parcel, tract or lot in isolated land survey shall be prepared to a scale in
accordance with Annex XXIV of this Manual.
a) The lot shall be centered and plotted on the plan so that its extreme
corners shall not be less than four centimeters from each marginal
line when using any of the scale provided above.

meters, the plan shall be drawn on scales which are exact multiples
of 1:4,000, such as 1:12,000, 1:16,000, etc. If any of these scales
would make the length of the property lines generally less than one
half centimeter, the survey shall be plotted on more than one sheet
using an appropriate scale.
c) In plotting one whole big parcel on more than one sheet, the parcel
shall be divided into convenient portions, each to be centered and
plotted on the sheet in accordance with Annex XXIV of this Manual.
d) When a parcel is divided into many small lots, which, if plotted
using any one of the one of the largest possible scales mentioned
in Annex XXIV of this Manual would result in diminutive geometrical
figures, the subdivisions plans shall be prepared on two or more
sheets on a uniform scale with each of its portions centered on the
sheet in accordance with Paragraph a.4.(b) of this Section. The
numbers of the sheets on which the other portion of the
subdivisions are plotted, shall be properly indicated on the plan.
e) Long narrow tracts such as highways, canals, etc. may be plotted
by dividing the tract into sections and plotting the section on two or
more plans.

these are too numerous to be drawn
6. or shown clearly along or near the boundary lines. When there are more than
fifty lots on the plans, lot descriptions thereof shall be prepared on LMB
authorized forms.
7. In the case of subdivisions or consolidation subdivision surveys, the boundary
data of the lot being subdivided or of the lots being consolidated-subdivided
shall be tabulated in black ink in a boxed portion at the upper-left corner.
b. Only information that cannot be inscribed on the plan shall be indicated on the space
provided for “Notes” at the bottom left corner. For uniformity in the preparation of
isolated survey plan, the illustrations found in Annex XXV of this Manual shall serve as
guide on what to include in the “Notes”.

area under cultivation and the nature of its vegetation such as rice, pastures,
woods, etc. with a brief description of the topographic features such as plain,
rolling, hilly or mountainous shall be indicated in light black dotted lines.
2. For lots less than one hectare in area, a general classification, such as,
“residential lot”, “home lot”, “rice land”, “sugar cane land”, “commercial lot”,
shall be indicated on said plans. For a group of lots shown on one plan in
diminutive geometrical figures, a notation on the plan regarding the
topographic features and/or general classification for each lot is sufficient in
both cases.
