It amends Section 9, Article III of DAO 2007-29 to revise the qualifications and authorization rules for who may conduct land surveys and mapping activities under DENR regulations involving private/government geodetic engineers.
Section 9, Article III, which is titled “Persons Authorized to Conduct Land Surveys.”
Only a Geodetic Engineer (GE) pursuant to Republic Act (R.A.) No. 8560, as amended.
The GE must be a holder of a valid PRC registration, valid PRC identification card, current professional tax receipt (PTR), and a tax identification number (TIN).
Government GE may execute surveys on government projects upon authority/order issued by a court or authorized officials of the concerned agency.
No. It states that Section 9(a) applies to them except the PTR.
The LMB must create a national database of practicing registered GEs with their PRC registration number and date of issuance.
It is supplied by regional LMS and validated by the LMB with the PRC-Board of Engineering.
It must furnish all regional LMS offices with an official listing for reference.
It amends, supersedes, or repeals inconsistent provisions of previous DENR issuances, memorandum circulars, and other issuances; other provisions of DAO 2007-29 remain.
It takes effect fifteen (15) days after publication in a newspaper of general circulation and upon acknowledgment of receipt by the Office of the National Administrative Register (ONAR).
To provide legal authority/framework for the issuance of the administrative order amending prior regulations.
It is the law governing Geodetic Engineers; the DAO states that land surveys and mapping within the regulation’s scope must be undertaken only by a GE pursuant to R.A. 8560, as amended.
The DAO provides that such surveys “shall be undertaken only by a Geodetic Engineer” with the stated qualifications; thus a non-qualified person would not comply with the authorization requirement.
The PRC identification card, current PTR, and TIN.
They must have an authority/order issued by a court or authorized officials of the concerned agency.
LMB (Land Management Bureau), regional LMS offices, and validation by the PRC-Board of Engineering.
It would likely be considered non-compliant with DAO 2010-05’s qualification requirements for authorized survey conduct, potentially affecting acceptance for disposition/registration.
