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

In cadastral indexing for a 1:250 sectional map, the location is given by coordinates, the section and strip, then the exact quarter of the section. The top-left area is the Northwest (NW) quadrant, and within that NW quadrant the map is divided further into four sub-quadrants, identified by a final number. For the coordinates 14°49'N, 120°54'E, the top-left (NW) quarter corresponds to the third sub-quadrant in this map series, so the cadastral number ends with -3. Hence the correct cadastral number is CM 14°49'N-120°54'E sec.1-A-NW-3. The other sub-quadrants would refer to the other parts of the NW area and do not match the given location.
