Flood Risk
High Flood Risk
High flood risk in Iligan is a serious consideration for buyers in Puga-an. During typhoon season, significant flooding can occur. Key questions to ask before buying: Which months does this street flood? What is the average water depth? Has interior flooding ever occurred? How long does water typically take to recede?
Transport
Puga-an relies on Iligan's local transport system. Tricycles serve the barangay-level routes; jeepneys and multicabs link residents to Iligan's commercial district, public schools, and government offices. Buyers who commute daily to an employment center outside Iligan should evaluate the nearest bus or P2P terminal for their specific route.
