Geodetic Engineer in Pangasinan

Land surveying and Pangasinan

Hundred Islands National Park in Alaminos, set aside by Proclamation 667 in 1940, lies in Lingayen Gulf; its administration passed from the Philippine Tourism Authority to the Alaminos city government in 2005 (EO 436).

The Agno River crosses towns such as Bayambang, San Carlos, Bautista and Alcala before reaching the gulf, and floods have followed San Roque Dam releases and heavy rain in Calasiao, Binmaley, Urdaneta and Dagupan.

On the coast, Dasol is Pangasinan's top salt-producing town, with more than 10,000 salt beds in 13 of its 18 barangays, while a salt farm in Barangay Zaragoza, Bolinao was shut by the DENR in 2021 because its foreshore lease had expired.

Common problems in Pangasinan

• Land near the Hundred Islands: Parcels around Alaminos's coast and the islands touch Hundred Islands National Park. A Geodetic Engineer can plot your parcel against the park boundary before you plan on it.
• Boundary markers lost to Agno floods: River floods across Bayambang, Calasiao and Binmaley can bury or shift fence lines and monuments. A relocation survey re-establishes the corners from the title instead of from where the fence ended up.
• Fishponds along Dagupan's rivers: In 2013 Dagupan found about 205 illegal fish pens on the Calmay and Dagupan rivers and began removing them. For a pond beside the Pantal or Calmay, it helps to confirm where the lot ends and the river bank begins.
• Salt beds on foreshore leases: Some salt beds sit on foreshore leases, as at Bolinao. A foreshore lease is not a Torrens title, so before a Dasol or Bolinao survey it is advisable to confirm whether you hold a foreshore lease or a title.
