Location Details
Flood Risk
High Flood Risk
Buyers in Mabuhay should treat flood risk as a primary — not secondary — due diligence item. San Fernando carries a high flood-risk rating, and this barangay shares that profile. Request DRRMO flood history records, inspect drainage proximity, verify the property's floor level above the nearest waterway, and consider whether flood insurance is available.
Transport
Getting in and out of Mabuhay relies on San Fernando's local transport network. Tricycles serve internal barangay routes; jeepney and multicab lines link the barangay to San Fernando proper and regional transport hubs. Private vehicle ownership significantly reduces commute time for barangays further from the main road.
Amenities
The barangay amenity base in Mabuhay includes a health center, elementary school, and community hall. San Fernando proper has the larger facilities: the public market, rural health unit, government offices, and any commercial retail serving the wider municipality.
