The guidelines governing land surveys under this DAO are approved by which agency?

The key point is who has the authority to approve land surveying guidelines under this DAO. DENR is the central government agency responsible for land management, natural resources, and the policies and standards governing surveys and mapping in the Philippines. Approving the guidelines ensures uniform procedures nationwide, which is why this authority rests with DENR (often through its Lands Management Bureau). Local government units enforce local rules but do not approve national surveying standards; the Department of Public Works handles infrastructure rather than surveying policy; and a professional association, while important, does not have formal regulatory approval power over government guidelines.
