About Geratag
Buyers exploring San Jose in Batangas will find Geratag to be an established residential community. Flood risk in this part of San Jose is moderate — buyers should verify the specific lot's drainage conditions.

Commute time to San Jose's commercial center ranges from 10–40 minutes depending on the barangay's distance from the main arterial road.
Amenities
