Filling of submerged land duly approved by the Philippine Reclamation Authority is categorized as which of the following properties?

The key idea is that land created by filling submerged areas, when approved by the Philippine Reclamation Authority, is treated as a distinct category of property known as Reclamation Property. Reclamation involves forming new land from water or submerged land, and PRA’s approval marks the created land as a separate property type rather than as an existing parcel bounded by prior surveys. Delimitation Survey describes establishing the exact limits of parcels on an already defined area, so it’s about boundary determination rather than creating new land. Graphical Cadastre refers to the map-based depiction of parcel boundaries, not the classification of land created through reclamation. Numerical Cadastre is the databased record of parcels with numbers and attributes, again focusing on data management rather than the act of creation. None of these capture the special status of land formed by reclamation; that status is specifically Reclamation Property.
