What is the cadastral number for the sectional map in the 1:250 scale in the bottom-right quadrant for coordinates 14°49'N, 120°54'E?

Cadastral numbering on sectional maps identifies a precise parcel by combining the sheet location with section, subdivision, quadrant, and a parcel index. For coordinates 14°49'N and 120°54'E, the map sheet is CM 14°49'N-120°54'E. Within that sheet, the area is organized into sections; the target is in section 1, letter A, within the NW quadrant, and the bottom-right position in that quadrant corresponds to the third parcel. So the parcel designation ends with -3, giving CM 14°49'N-120°54'E sec. 1-A-NW-3. The other options place you in the same sheet and section but in the other parcels of the NW quadrant, not the bottom-right one specified.
