Made for purposes of determining the metes and bounds of parcels not included in the enumeration above and intended for a specific purpose?

• A. Mineral Land Surveys
• B. Conversion Surveys
• C. Friar Land Surveys
• D. Other Land Surveys

Answer: (D)

The thing being tested is how surveys are categorized by purpose in Philippine land surveying. When a survey is designed to determine the metes and bounds of parcels that aren’t covered by the listed categories, it falls under Other Land Surveys. This category serves as the catch-all for parcels created or defined for a specific purpose that doesn’t fit the special scopes of mineral land surveys, conversion surveys, or friar land surveys. The metes and bounds approach, describing land by measured distances and directions from a starting point, is the method used for these unique, purpose-driven parcels. So this option is the best fit because it explicitly handles surveys not included in the enumerated types, providing the necessary flexibility for special cases. The other categories are tied to particular land types or historical contexts, which is why they don’t apply to parcels created for a specific purpose outside those scopes.
