The title being sought is Geodetic Engineer (GE). In the Philippines, Republic Act 8560—the Geodetic Engineering Act—establishes the regulatory framework for geodetic engineers. A natural person who has the professional expertise in surveying and has been issued a Certificate of Registration and Identification Card by the PRC Board of Geodetic Engineering has earned licensure to practice in this field. The designation Geodetic Engineer reflects that licensure and authority to perform geodetic surveying, mapping, and related geodetic work.

A surveyor is a broader term for someone who conducts surveys but does not automatically imply licensure under the Geodetic Engineering Act. Civil engineers belong to a different profession with their own board and licensure, and cartographers are not the licensed professional category under this act.
