Flood Risk
High Flood Risk
The high flood-risk rating for Ormocay reflects Mayorga's broader situation. Properties near drainage canals, esteros, or low-lying terrain are most exposed. Buyers of upper-floor condominiums or elevated house-and-lot have significantly lower flood exposure — but should still verify that the building itself has not experienced foundation-level flooding.
Transport
Getting in and out of Ormocay relies on Mayorga's local transport network. Tricycles serve internal barangay routes; jeepney and multicab lines link the barangay to Mayorga proper and regional transport hubs. Private vehicle ownership significantly reduces commute time for barangays further from the main road.
