About Poblacion Ilaya
Poblacion Ilaya is a constituent barangay of Dumarao in Capiz. Flood risk in this part of Dumarao is moderate — buyers should verify the specific lot's drainage conditions. Poblacion barangays typically host the main market area, the barangay hall, and the oldest commercial buildings — the traditional nucleus where local civic and economic life is concentrated. Buyers comparing Poblacion Ilaya against other Dumarao barangays will find a similar offering of house-and-lot and townhouse developments serving end-user demand. 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.

Flood Risk
Moderate Flood Risk

Transport
Transport from Poblacion Ilaya to key destinations in Dumarao relies on the jeepney and tricycle network. The barangay road connects to Dumarao's arterial road, from which jeepney and UV Express services provide access to the city center, hospitals, schools, and public markets.
