How to Know Where Your Land Actually Is, and Why Your TCT Isn't Enough

July 18, 2026 | Land Digitization

Your Transfer Certificate of Title says you own 500 square meters in Tagbilaran City. You've had that title for years. But here's the question most landowners can't answer: can you physically point to where your property starts and ends?

If your honest answer is "I'm not sure" — you're not alone. And that uncertainty is exactly where land disputes, delayed sales, and estate headaches come from.

What Your TCT Actually Contains

Your title has a section called the Technical Description. It looks something like this:

Example Technical Description:
Beginning at a point marked "1" on plan, being S. 29°45' E., 156.20 m. from BLLM No. 1, Tagbilaran Cadastre...thence N. 0°11' W., 21.20 m. to point 2; thence S. 89°50' E., 23.60 m. to point 3...

Those numbers (bearings, distances, and tie points) are actually a precise set of instructions for drawing your property boundary. The problem is they're written for surveyors, not regular landowners. Nobody hands you a map when you receive your title.

Why "I'll Find It When I Need To" Is a Risky Strategy

Most people only think about land boundaries when something forces them to: a buyer asks, a neighbor puts up a fence, heirs start disagreeing. By then you're already in a stressful situation.

What Land Parcel Digitization Does

Using QGIS (a professional GIS software), we take the technical description from your title and plot every boundary point precisely, bearing by bearing, distance by distance. The result is a digital map of your exact property boundary.

You get three things:

1. PDF Map: A clean, printable map showing your lot boundaries with all points labeled.

2. KML File: Open this in Google Earth on your phone or laptop and see exactly where your land sits on satellite imagery.

3. Coordinate List: The exact GPS coordinates of every boundary corner, plus area verification against what your title states.

Who Needs This?

How Much Does It Cost?

We price by the number of boundary points in your technical description, which tells us how complex the shape is:

Rush delivery (24 hours) is available at +50%. Bundle 3 or more lots and get 20% off.

All you need to send us is the technical description from your title. A photo of the relevant page works fine.
