For the 1:2000 sectional cadastral map at bottom left, which sectional number is shaded?

In a 1:2000 sectional cadastral map, the map area is divided into four quadrants and each quadrant has a fixed sectional number. The shading indicates which quadrant (and thus which sectional number) is selected. The shaded area in the bottom-left map sits in the lower-left quadrant, which is the fourth section in the standard grid layout (top-left is section one, top-right is section two, bottom-right is section three, bottom-left is section four). Reading the grid and matching it with the map’s coordinates (CM 14°49'N -120°54'E) confirms this quadrant corresponds to section four.
