Buyers of ground-floor units should specifically investigate drainage conditions on their target street. A site visit during or after heavy rain is the most reliable due diligence tool.
Transport
Getting in and out of Catanghalan relies on Obando's local transport network. Tricycles serve internal barangay routes; jeepney and multicab lines link the barangay to Obando proper and regional transport hubs.
