Flood Risk Varies
The 'varies' flood-risk rating for Macupa reflects genuine heterogeneity within Tuburan. Adjacent streets can have very different flood histories.

Macupa residents use tricycles for intra-barangay movement and jeepney or UV Express vans to reach Tuburan's commercial and employment centers. Road access from the barangay to Tuburan's main arterial road is the key infrastructure factor for buyers evaluating daily commute viability.
