Flood Risk

Moderate flood risk in Tigao indicates that flooding is occasional rather than chronic for most of the barangay. 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
The barangay road network in Tigao links to Cortes's primary roads via concrete or asphalted barangay paths. Tricycles dominate the last-mile connection; jeepneys handle longer routes to Cortes proper. Buyers evaluating this barangay should note the condition of the barangay road — unpaved roads can become impassable during heavy rain.
