Legal basis and policy intent

  • Section 17 of Republic Act No. 4374 provides the subjects in Geodetic Engineering licensure examinations and empowers the Board to prescribe other subjects.
  • Section 10 of Republic Act No. 4374 authorizes the Board to exercise quasi-legislative (rule-making) power to prescribe examination syllabi.
  • The syllabi are intended to avoid overlapping of examination subjects.
  • The Board must guide Board members, examinees, and reviewers through the prescribed syllabi.
  • The Board is required to have consulted the academe before prescribing and adopting the examination subject syllabi.

Effective date, publication, and dissemination

  • The Resolution becomes effective on a date fifteen (15) days after publication in the Official Gazette or a newspaper of general circulation.
  • Publication must occur within three (3) months prior to the examination.
  • The Resolution must be widely disseminated and circularized to all colleges/schools offering the geodetic engineering course.

Scope: licensure examination syllabi

  • The Resolution prescribes syllabi for subjects used in the Geodetic Engineering licensure examination.
  • The Resolution prescribes syllabi for subjects used in the Junior Geodetic Engineering licensure examination.
  • The prescribed syllabi are adopted in Annex “A” and set the subject areas and percentages for each licensure level.
  • The subject breakdown is expressly expressed in total weighting 100% for both examination tracks.
