About San Agustin

Flood risk in this part of Maasin is moderate — buyers should verify the specific lot's drainage conditions. The barangay's patron saint anchors its community identity.

Buyers comparing San Agustin against other Maasin barangays will find a similar offering of house-and-lot and townhouse developments serving end-user demand.
