About Mercado

Housing density and lot sizes here are typical for the province — residential-first, with commercial activity concentrated along the main barangay road near the intersection with city streets.

The deciding factors typically come down to lot size, distance from the main road, and the specific flood history of the property street rather than the barangay name.
