Transport
Malpag is accessible via San Miguel's road network. Local tricycles provide door-to-barangay-road transport, while jeepney routes connect to San Miguel's town center, public market, and bus terminals. Commute to San Miguel proper is typically 15–35 minutes for barangays near arterial roads.
