For Barangay boundary monuments, which statement correctly describes the depth and projection?

The key idea is that barangay boundary monuments are installed to be both stable underground and clearly visible above ground. The standard practice is to bury the marker 60 cm deep, with a 40 cm projection above the ground. This combination keeps the marker securely anchored and protected from surface disturbances, while leaving enough visible portion for surveyors to locate, reference, and read any inscriptions or markers. Other depths or projections don’t meet that balance: a shallower projection reduces visibility and ease of re-establishment, while a deeper or shallower burial than 60 cm/40 cm disrupts the intended durability and usability of the monument.
