Flood Risk
High Flood Risk

Key questions to ask before buying: Which months does this street flood? What is the average water depth? Has interior flooding ever occurred? How long does water typically take to recede?
Transport
Getting in and out of Talahiban relies on Calbayog's local transport network. Tricycles serve internal barangay routes; jeepney and multicab lines link the barangay to Calbayog proper and regional transport hubs. Private vehicle ownership significantly reduces commute time for barangays further from the main road.
