Who ensures integrity of the monuments?

In surveying practice, the Accredited Geodetic Engineer is the one responsible for the integrity of monuments. This professional carries the technical duty to establish, document, and preserve the monuments that mark property boundaries and control points. They ensure monuments are correctly positioned, tied to the control network, and maintained or re-established if displaced, so future surveys can rely on accurate, stable reference marks. While agencies like the DENR, local government, and landowners may regulate, manage, or own land, they do not carry the professional obligation to guarantee monument integrity—the Accredited Geodetic Engineer does.
