Geodetic surveys are regulated by the Philippine Geodetic Engineers Act of 1998 (Republic Act 8560), which sets who may practice geodetic engineering and how the work must be done. This act creates the licensing framework under the Professional Regulation Commission (via the Board of Geodetic Engineers), requiring individuals to be duly registered and licensed to perform or supervise surveys. It also mandates that survey outputs be signed and sealed by a licensed geodetic engineer, ensuring accountability and technical competence. Because of this framework, authority to conduct surveys comes from being qualified under this act—only licensed geodetic engineers (or those working under their supervision) may legally carry out geodetic surveying. The other acts listed pertain to different areas and do not authorize geodetic surveying.
