At coordinates 14°49'N, 120°54'E, what is the cadastral number for the 1:1000 scale in the bottom-right quadrant?

Interpreting cadastral references relies on three parts: the map sheet identifier, the section number, and the quadrant within that section for the 1:1000 scale detail. The coordinates given identify the specific map sheet (CM 14°49'N-120°54'E). Within that sheet, you’re looking at section 1, and the quadrant for the 1:1000 detail is labeled as the bottom-right portion. In this naming convention, that bottom-right quadrant is designated by C, so the full reference is CM 14°49'N-120°54'E sec. 1-C. The other options point to different quadrants or different internal designations, which is why they don’t match the bottom-right requirement.
