Flood risk in this part of Magsaysay is moderate — buyers should verify the specific lot's drainage conditions.

Location Details
Flood Risk
Moderate Flood Risk
Katipunan's moderate flood-risk rating reflects Magsaysay's terrain and drainage infrastructure. Not all parts of the barangay flood equally — buyers should review the NAMRIA flood hazard map for the specific property location and ask the barangay DRRMO office for local flood records.
Transport

Tricycles serve the barangay-level routes; jeepneys and multicabs link residents to Magsaysay's commercial district, public schools, and government offices.
