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

On a north-up map, the bottom-left area is the southwest quadrant. For the 1:500 sectional map of Sector 1-C, quadrants are labeled by compass directions appended to the sector code. The bottom-left quadrant corresponds to sec.1-C-SW, not the other sectors or the other quadrants. With the coordinates given, the cadastral number CM 14°49'N-120°54'E sec.1-C-SW is the match. The other options place you in a different quadrant (NE or NW) or a different sector (1-B), which would not correspond to the bottom-left part of Sector 1-C.
