Which reference system must be used for all Geodetic Control Surveys?

Explanation:
A single, official reference frame is used so all control points share the same spatial base. For Geodetic Control Surveys in the Philippines, that standard is PRS 92. It defines the national geodetic datum, tying horizontal and vertical coordinates to a common ellipsoid-based framework, which ensures consistency and compatibility across all surveys, maps, and engineering projects. WGS 84, NAD 83, and UTM serve important roles in different contexts (GPS positioning, regional datums, and projections, respectively), but they do not replace the national reference system required for all control surveys. In practice, GPS data can be transformed to PRS 92, but PRS 92 remains the official reference for the network.
