About Gabi
Gabi anchors part of Baleno's community in Masbate. Flood risk is a key due diligence item in Baleno — verify the property's specific flood history before committing. The barangay has an established residential character, with a mix of single-family homes, townhouses, and small apartment buildings serving local families and workers. Buyers comparing Gabi against other Baleno barangays will find a similar offering of house-and-lot and townhouse developments serving end-user demand. The deciding factors typically come down to lot size, distance from the main road, and the specific flood history of the property street rather than the barangay name.

Flood Risk
High Flood Risk
Gabi'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.
