For coordinates 14°49'N and 120°54'E, which cadastral number corresponds to the top right quadrant of the 1:500 sectional map for Sector 3-C?

On a 1:500 sectional cadastral map, each sector is divided into four quadrants and labeled to show the exact quarter where a parcel lies. The top-right portion of a sector corresponds to the northeast quadrant, since “top” is north and “right” is east. The coordinates 14°49'N, 120°54'E place the location within Sector 3-C, and within that sector the point falls in the northeast quadrant. So the cadastral number should reflect the NE quadrant of Sector 3-C for those coordinates. Therefore, the correct cadastral number is CM 14°49'N-120°54'E sec.3-C-NE. The other options mix different sectors or quadrants, which don’t correspond to the given coordinates.
