A natural person with surveying expertise issued PRC GE registration is called?

• A. Surveyor
• B. Cartographer
• C. Geologist
• D. Geodetic Engineer (GE)

Answer: (D)

A Geodetic Engineer is the licensed professional title for someone who has surveying expertise and holds PRC registration. In the Philippines, geodetic engineering—including surveying and mapping—is a regulated profession, and individuals must pass the Geodetic Engineer licensure exam and register with PRC to practice. The term Geodetic Engineer (GE) denotes this official credential, allowing them to legally perform surveying and related geodetic work. A generic “surveyor” may perform surveys but does not carry the specific PRC Geodetic Engineer license. Cartographer and geologist refer to different roles and do not reflect the registered professional status for surveying.
