Flood Risk
High Flood Risk
The high flood-risk rating for Roma reflects Basilisa's broader situation. Properties near drainage canals, esteros, or low-lying terrain are most exposed. Buyers of upper-floor condominiums or elevated house-and-lot have significantly lower flood exposure — but should still verify that the building itself has not experienced foundation-level flooding.
Transport
Roma connects to Basilisa's road network via barangay roads. Local transport — tricycles for last-mile access, jeepneys and UV Express vans for onward connections — serves the community. Commute time to Basilisa's commercial center ranges from 10–40 minutes depending on the barangay's distance from the main arterial road.
Amenities
The barangay amenity base in Roma includes a health center, elementary school, and community hall. Basilisa proper has the larger facilities: the public market, rural health unit, government offices, and any commercial retail serving the wider municipality.

The established market of Basilisa means Roma offers predictable real estate dynamics: stable prices, consistent demand from local families and workers, and no dramatic peaks or troughs. A sound choice for first-time buyers and long-term owner-occupiers.
