About Mapisla

Buyers comparing Mapisla against other Licuan-Baay barangays will find a similar offering of single-family homes, townhouses, and affordable condominiums. 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.
