Flood Risk
Moderate Flood Risk

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 Payao's commercial center ranges from 10–40 minutes depending on the barangay's distance from the main arterial road.
Amenities
