Flood Risk
High Flood Risk
Barangay 8's high flood-risk designation means property-level due diligence is non-negotiable. Elevation within the barangay matters significantly — a lot that is even half a meter higher than its neighbor can be meaningfully safer. Buyers should inspect the finished floor level of target properties and any flood barriers installed by the barangay or developer.
Transport

Tricycles dominate the last-mile connection; jeepneys handle longer routes to Bacacay proper. Buyers evaluating this barangay should note the condition of the barangay road — unpaved roads can become impassable during heavy rain.
Amenities
Community amenities in Barangay 8 cover the essentials: barangay health center, public elementary school, and covered court. Buyers with school-age children should verify the distance to the nearest public high school in Bacacay, as secondary education typically requires a short commute.
