What is the cadastral number for the sectional map in the 1:500 scale in the top-left quadrant for coordinates 14°49'N, 120°54'E?

Cadastral numbers encode the exact quarter of a section where the parcel sits, using NW, NE, SW, or SE to label the quadrants. For the point at 14°49'N, 120°54'E within section 1-A, the parcel lies in the top-left portion of that section, which is the NW quadrant. At a 1:500 sectional map, the quarter designation is appended to the section identifier, so the correct cadastral number reflects NW. Therefore, CM 14°49'N-120°54'E sec. 1-A-NW is the proper identification. The other options would indicate a different quadrant (NE) or a different section (1-C or 1-D), which don’t match the given coordinates.
