Flood Risk
High Flood Risk
The high flood-risk rating for Cacandongan reflects San Juan'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
Cacandongan residents use tricycles for intra-barangay movement and jeepney or UV Express vans to reach San Juan's commercial and employment centers. Road access from the barangay to San Juan's main arterial road is the key infrastructure factor for buyers evaluating daily commute viability.
Amenities
The barangay amenity base in Cacandongan includes a health center, elementary school, and community hall. San Juan proper has the larger facilities: the public market, rural health unit, government offices, and any commercial retail serving the wider municipality.
Growth Potential
