Is there a way to check the land elevation of certain areas in metro manila?

NOT 100% GUARANTEE! nagtanong kami sa tindahan, sa mga kapitbahay, sabi nila walang baha. yun pala pinangakuan sila na bibigyan ng commission pag nabenta yun bahay. so akala namin walang baha, anak ng teteng binabaha pala. nung ondoy 27 feet lang naman ang taas ng baha sa kalsada, tapos yung bahay namin e 1 foot na lang abot na sa roof ng 2nd floor. di bale bahay at 3 kotse nabaha pero muntik na ko malagasan ng pamilya. iniwanan na namin yung bahay, binabayaran pa din hangang ngayon (hirap masira credit sa bank).

yung nagbenta sa amin tinakbuhan din nya yung mga pinangakuan nya ng commission.

Naku bad trip nga yang na experience mo sir, yung suggestion ko naman ay one of the basics lang, and also if I may add, nagkataon lang na natiyempuhan yung napag tanungan niyo ay napangakuhan ng commission. Aside from kapitbahay na pwede ngang mapangakuan ng property owner dapat pagtanungan din mga trike drivers, security guards etc, imposibleng lahat ng trike mapangakuan ng ng owner. Also marami ring lugar ang di talaga binabaha pero nung ondoy grabe ang baha, maaring hindi talaga yun binaha pre ondoy.

Ngayon kasi pag naghahanap ng property mga tao, number one talagang tanong is kung binabaha sa ordinaryong bagyo o malakas ang ulan, tapos kung binaha nung Ondoy. May mga taong ok lang binaha nung konti kay ondoy pero hindi talaga in any other bagyo or ulan na malakas, at meron talagang ayaw ng baha ke ondoy man o kahit anong ulan.

Karamihan din ng mga magpapagawa ng bahay gusto nila ine elevate talaga ang lote keso bahain yung lugar o hinde.

I am planning to buy a lot and was wondering if there is a way to check the land elevation of a certain area to know how likely the area would flood during extreme rain? Since some place have lower land elevation(above sea level/ below sea level) which factors the likelihood for the area to experience flooding during high tide or rains since lower land elevation means water from areas with higher land elevation move or flow towards lower elevation areas.

kung elevation lang, a gps will do but the problem is you might be high above sea level but your lot location might be in a 'pocket' i know some areas in antipolo that were flooded but if you check your altitude you get 500ft. best is to interview neighbors

interview neighbors then sayang last week ulan ng ulan you should have visited the are during heavy rains. para makita mo na talaga.

saan ka ba bibili ng property TS?
baka may alam yang lugar na yan na mg tsikoteers, no need to consult google, gps, maps, etc.?

Use a GPS.

GPS will give a good elevation. mas maraming satellites na makikita mas accurate.
