How does Basdiot compare to other barangays in Moalboal?
Within Moalboal, barangay-level differences are primarily driven by: (1) distance from the city center — closer barangays command higher prices and better transport access; (2) elevation and flood history — higher barangays are generally safer; (3) proximity to schools and markets — a practical factor for families.
