Flood Risk

Buyers in San Antonio should treat flood risk as a primary — not secondary — due diligence item. Gamay 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.

The full commercial amenity set — wet market, pharmacy, private clinics, and hardware stores — is concentrated in Gamay's town center. Buyers should assess commute time to these facilities as part of their lifestyle due diligence.
