Location Details
Flood Risk
High Flood Risk
Borongan's high flood-risk rating applies to Cabalagnan. This does not mean every property floods equally — some streets and elevated lots within the barangay may have a strong safety record. But buyers cannot assume safety based on the barangay name alone. Verify at the property level using PAGASA flood maps and DRRMO records.
Transport
The barangay road network in Cabalagnan links to Borongan's primary roads via concrete or asphalted barangay paths. Tricycles dominate the last-mile connection; jeepneys handle longer routes to Borongan proper. Buyers evaluating this barangay should note the condition of the barangay road — unpaved roads can become impassable during heavy rain.
Amenities
The barangay amenity base in Cabalagnan includes a health center, elementary school, and community hall. Borongan proper has the larger facilities: the public market, rural health unit, government offices, and any commercial retail serving the wider municipality.
Growth Potential
The established growth rating for Cabalagnan indicates a market where demand comes from genuine end-users — local families, workers, and retirees — rather than investors chasing appreciation. This typically results in fair pricing and lower long-term vacancy risk for landlords.
