Location Details
Flood Risk
Moderate Flood Risk

Getting in and out of Mangan-Vaca relies on Subic's local transport network. Tricycles serve internal barangay routes; jeepney and multicab lines link the barangay to Subic proper and regional transport hubs. Private vehicle ownership significantly reduces commute time for barangays further from the main road.
