For long-distance travel, San Roque's main bus terminal or transport hub provides connections to regional and inter-city destinations.

Amenities
Barangay Lao-angan provides its residents with a health center, covered court, and elementary school. For hospital-level medical care, buyers should identify the nearest district or provincial hospital in or near San Roque. Commercial groceries and malls, if any, are located in San Roque proper.
