Land surveying and SOCCSKSARGEN
SOCCSKSARGEN stretches from the slopes of Mt. Apo to the coast of Sarangani Bay. Mt. Apo Natural Park, set up under RA 9237, covers parts of Cotabato province, and Proclamation No. 756 of 1996 created the Sarangani Bay Protected Seascape around General Santos and Sarangani.
Part of Cotabato province forms the Bangsamoro Special Geographic Area. A T'boli community in South Cotabato and Sultan Kudarat holds a CADT over sitios in Lake Sebu and Bagumbayan.
Common problems in SOCCSKSARGEN
- A parcel inside the Special Geographic Area: Some barangays of Cotabato province belong to the Bangsamoro Special Geographic Area while neighboring ones do not. It is advisable to confirm the barangay and municipality on the plan before a relocation survey is submitted.
- Ancestral domain near Lake Sebu: Where a lot lies close to a CADT area, as in Barangay Ned in Lake Sebu or sitio Tulale in Bagumbayan, a lot covered only by a tax declaration should be checked against the CADT map. A verification survey tied to the records helps.
- Shoreline lots on Sarangani Bay: Proclamation No. 756 covers the bay and parts of the waters of Maitum, Kiamba and Maasim, and keeps private rights. A survey of a lot in Glan, Maasim or General Santos plots the shoreline against your title.
- Farm lots near Mt. Apo Natural Park: RA 9237 sets two buffer zones around the park, which spans Cotabato, Davao del Sur and Davao City. A survey plotted against the boundaries in RA 9237 shows whether the lot is inside the park, the buffer or neither.

Frequently asked questions in SOCCSKSARGEN
My barangay in Cotabato was transferred to the Bangsamoro. Does that change how I get a land survey?+
The lot and its title are still described by the same technical description, but the local government covering the barangay may be different. It is advisable to bring your title, tax declaration and a recent LGU certificate, and to ask the Geodetic Engineer which office handles your parcel before the plan is submitted.
I inherited a lot on the Sarangani Bay coast. What should a survey show me?+
A relocation survey can plot your title corners, the present shoreline and any structures on the ground. It is advisable to compare the shoreline with the boundaries in Proclamation No. 756, which keeps private rights, and to ask that the plan also show the salvage zone.
