Before a mineral land survey begins, notification must be sent to the DENR Regional Office and which local official?

The key concept is that regulatory steps for starting a mineral land survey require informing both the DENR and the local community’s representative at the barangay level. The Barangay Chairman is the local official who represents the immediate community where the land lies, so notifying him ensures the residents are aware of the survey and can raise concerns or coordinate access with the survey team. The DENR handles the formal regulatory oversight, while the Barangay Chairman handles local coordination. The other officials listed do not fit this specific notification requirement: the Prosecutor is a legal officer not involved in surveying notifications; the City Mayor or Municipal Treasurer operate at a higher administrative level and are not the designated local official for informing the community about a survey in a barangay.
