Agricultural areas of the barangay, identified low-lying areas and those located
near the creek/river channel has moderate susceptibility (Pulong San Miguel,

• There are four (4) barangays with low, moderate to high susceptibility to
flooding. The barangay has naturally low-lying areas and portions located near
active creeks and river channel. There are also purok of the barangays that are
located below the road level, such that when the river overflows, unusually high
level floods had been experienced (Matias, Poblacion Sur, Pulong San Miguel
and Bulac).
• There are three (3) barangays with moderate to high susceptibility to flooding
(Bagong Silang, Pagasa and Minabuyok). Silted creek channels, topographic
and structure control, and being adjacent to the creek/rivers are the factors that
influence flooding in the vicinity.
