Surveys of all patrimonial properties owned by the government not intended for public use are classified as which type?

• A. National Government Lands Survey
• B. Local Government Units Land Surveys
• C. Amendment Surveys
• D. Mineral Land Surveys

Answer: (A)

The key idea here is how the government’s lands that are not meant for public use are categorized for surveying. In the Philippines, patrimonial properties owned by the national government and not intended for public use are classified under National Government Lands Survey. This type of survey is used to determine and officially document the boundaries and extent of lands that belong to the national government but aren’t designated as public use areas, helping with proper management and potential disposition. The other survey types cover different situations: Local Government Units Lands Surveys pertain to lands owned by LGUs, Amendment Surveys are corrections or adjustments to existing surveys, and Mineral Land Surveys deal with lands classified as mineral lands.
