Flood Risk

Transport
Public transport in Bato consists of barangay tricycles and jeepney routes to Taytay proper. For provincial and inter-city travel, the nearest bus terminal or transport hub in Taytay's town center is the primary departure point. Residents with private vehicles have the most flexibility given the barangay road network.
Amenities
