Location Details
Flood Risk
High Flood Risk
Buyers in Liwayway should treat flood risk as a primary — not secondary — due diligence item. MacArthur carries a high flood-risk rating, and this barangay shares that profile. 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
Getting in and out of Liwayway relies on MacArthur's local transport network. Tricycles serve internal barangay routes; jeepney and multicab lines link the barangay to MacArthur proper and regional transport hubs. Private vehicle ownership significantly reduces commute time for barangays further from the main road.
