Flood Risk

Transport
Mabuhay residents use tricycles for intra-barangay movement and jeepney or UV Express vans to reach Rizal's commercial and employment centers. Road access from the barangay to Rizal's main arterial road is the key infrastructure factor for buyers evaluating daily commute viability.
Amenities
The immediate amenity base in Mabuhay includes a barangay health center and public elementary school. For groceries, the wet market in Rizal proper is the primary shopping destination. Buyers who prioritize proximity to a full-service hospital or shopping center should verify travel time to Rizal's nearest such facility.
