Flood Risk
High Flood Risk
Bunacan's high flood-risk designation means property-level due diligence is non-negotiable. Elevation within the barangay matters significantly — a lot that is even half a meter higher than its neighbor can be meaningfully safer. Buyers should inspect the finished floor level of target properties and any flood barriers installed by the barangay or developer.
Transport

Tricycles serve the barangay-level routes; jeepneys and multicabs link residents to Calubian's commercial district, public schools, and government offices. Buyers who commute daily to an employment center outside Calubian should evaluate the nearest bus or P2P terminal for their specific route.
Amenities
