Flood Risk
Moderate Flood Risk
In Santo Tomas, flood risk is moderate. Raois shares this profile: during a strong typhoon, localized flooding may occur in low-lying parts of the barangay, but most streets remain passable. The property's elevation relative to the nearest estero or drainage canal is the key site-level factor.
Transport
The barangay road network in Raois links to Santo Tomas's primary roads via concrete or asphalted barangay paths. Tricycles dominate the last-mile connection; jeepneys handle longer routes to Santo Tomas 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 Raois includes a health center, elementary school, and community hall. Santo Tomas proper has the larger facilities: the public market, rural health unit, government offices, and any commercial retail serving the wider municipality.
