Flood Risk
High Flood Risk
Calbayog's high flood-risk rating applies to Tabawan. This does not mean every property floods equally — some streets and elevated lots within the barangay may have a strong safety record. But buyers cannot assume safety based on the barangay name alone. Verify at the property level using PAGASA flood maps and DRRMO records.
Transport
The barangay road network in Tabawan links to Calbayog's primary roads via concrete or asphalted barangay paths. Tricycles dominate the last-mile connection; jeepneys handle longer routes to Calbayog proper. Buyers evaluating this barangay should note the condition of the barangay road — unpaved roads can become impassable during heavy rain.
Amenities
The barangay amenity base in Tabawan includes a health center, elementary school, and community hall. Calbayog proper has the larger facilities: the public market, rural health unit, government offices, and any commercial retail serving the wider municipality.
