Location Details
Flood Risk
High Flood Risk
Marabut's high flood-risk rating applies to San Roque. 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
Getting in and out of San Roque relies on Marabut's local transport network. Tricycles serve internal barangay routes; jeepney and multicab lines link the barangay to Marabut proper and regional transport hubs. Private vehicle ownership significantly reduces commute time for barangays further from the main road.
Amenities
San Roque has access to a local elementary school, barangay health center, and covered multi-purpose hall within the community. Larger amenities — wet market, high schools, hospitals, malls, and government offices — are concentrated in Marabut proper.
Growth Potential
Marabut is an established market, and San Roque reflects that. Properties are priced to reflect genuine local demand rather than speculation — making them relatively fair value for buyers who intend to live in or rent out their property over the medium term.
