What term describes a natural person with professional surveying expertise who holds a PRC certificate under RA 8560?

Geodetic Engineer is the professional designation for a natural person who has specialized surveying expertise and holds a PRC certificate under RA 8560. In the Philippines, RA 8560—the Geodetic Engineers Act—regulates the practice of geodesy and requires licensure by the Professional Regulation Commission. Only those with this PRC license may legally perform professional geodetic engineering tasks, such as boundary surveys, cadastral work, mapping, and control-network surveys. So the term that correctly describes such a person is Geodetic Engineer. A surveyor is a general term for someone who conducts surveying, but the official title that corresponds to the licensed practitioner under RA 8560 is Geodetic Engineer. An engineer is too broad a designation for this specialized field, and Lad Surveyor is not a recognized term.
