Flood Risk
High Flood Risk
The high flood-risk rating for San Vicente reflects Anahawan's broader situation. Properties near drainage canals, esteros, or low-lying terrain are most exposed. Buyers of upper-floor condominiums or elevated house-and-lot have significantly lower flood exposure — but should still verify that the building itself has not experienced foundation-level flooding.
Transport
Road connectivity in San Vicente follows Anahawan's general network. The nearest jeepney or multicab terminal provides onward connections to Anahawan center, adjacent municipalities, and provincial transport routes. For commuters without private vehicles, proximity to the nearest jeepney stop is a critical property selection factor.
