About Barangay 5

Flood Risk
Moderate Flood Risk
Barangay 5 carries a moderate flood-risk rating that buyers should take seriously without over-weighting. Seasonal flooding affects some parts of the barangay; other parts are comparatively dry. A flood-history check at the barangay DRRMO office, combined with a physical inspection of the specific lot, is the recommended approach.

Commute time to Isabela's commercial center ranges from 10–40 minutes depending on the barangay's distance from the main arterial road.
