About San Marcos
San Marcos is a heritage barangay with a patron-saint identity in Alfonso Lista, serving the residential needs of local families and workers. Flood risk here is low — a practical advantage during typhoon season. Named after a patron saint, this barangay has a heritage character rooted in the Catholic parish system that organized early Philippine settlements. The local chapel remains its most visible landmark. Buyers comparing San Marcos against other Alfonso Lista barangays will find a similar offering of house-and-lot units, townhouses, and low-rise condominiums at stable price points. 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
Low Flood Risk

Building inspection remains standard practice, but flood proofing is not a primary concern for most properties in this barangay.
Transport
The barangay road network in San Marcos links to Alfonso Lista's primary roads via concrete or asphalted barangay paths. Tricycles dominate the last-mile connection; jeepneys handle longer routes to Alfonso Lista proper.
