Flood Risk
Moderate Flood Risk
Larena's moderate flood-risk rating means Ponong warrants targeted buyer investigation: Does the specific street flood? How deep? How quickly does water recede? Answers vary significantly lot by lot. Properties on higher ground or near functioning drainage infrastructure are the safer choices.

Tricycles dominate the last-mile connection; jeepneys handle longer routes to Larena proper. Buyers evaluating this barangay should note the condition of the barangay road — unpaved roads can become impassable during heavy rain.
