Who should the geodetic engineer notify before starting a mineral land survey?

In mineral land surveys, coordinating with the right authorities and the local community is essential to ensure legal compliance and smooth operation. The geodetic engineer should inform the DENR Regional Office, which oversees mineral lands and coordinates regulatory requirements, as well as the barangay chairman, who represents the local community where the survey will take place. This ensures proper clearance, helps prevent disputes with landowners or residents, and aligns the survey with environmental and land-use controls affecting mineral areas. The other options don’t fit because the Department of Public Works and Highways handles public infrastructure projects, not mineral land surveying; informing property owners is important in practice but does not replace the formal notification required to regulatory and local authorities; and the provincial government is a broader level that does not specifically fulfill the mandated notification to the DENR and the local barangay for mineral surveys.
