Flood Risk
Flood Risk Varies
The 'varies' flood-risk rating for Tabialan reflects genuine heterogeneity within Tongkil. Adjacent streets can have very different flood histories. Buyers must investigate the specific property rather than relying on the barangay-level label — request flood records from the local DRRMO office and inspect the site during or after heavy rain if possible.
