Request DRRMO flood history records, inspect drainage proximity, verify the property's floor level above the nearest waterway, and consider whether flood insurance is available.
Transport
Transport from Maljo to key destinations in Inopacan relies on the jeepney and tricycle network. The barangay road connects to Inopacan's arterial road, from which jeepney and UV Express services provide access to the city center, hospitals, schools, and public markets.
Amenities
Maljo barangay residents have access to standard community-level amenities: elementary school, health center, and multi-purpose hall.
