********************************************
Floods? DO NOT buy anything in a low area that could flood , river deltas and such ,, buy on high ground. Avoid areas where there is a possibility of mudslides also ... most developers that build “western” quality homes build in good areas.

Hurricanes/typhoons are no joke ... but they travel westward ,, so Cebu and Cagayan being on the west sides of islands will always get the remnants of storms ,, diminished by passing over land and particularly mountains.

There is no such thing as “homeowners” insurance in the Philippines so you will find that new construction by developers will be of “commercial” type construction , “pillar and post” cement with lots of rebar.. it’s the only way that the banks will finance the developers.
