Which government agency issues the Manual of Procedures for land surveying in the Philippines under the referenced DAO?

The agency responsible for issuing the Manual of Procedures for land surveying is the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR). In the Philippines, DENR holds the policy-making authority over land administration and surveying practices, so it authorizes and disseminates the official manuals that outline standardized procedures. NAMRIA, as the mapping and surveying arm under DENR, handles the technical standards and implementation, but the formal issuance and approval of the manual come from DENR itself. The other offices—such as CENRO (field office) and LMB (bureau-level unit focused on land management tasks)—carry out the procedures under DENR’s framework rather than issuing the manuals.
