Lipa has been acknowledged as an emerging city in the south of Luzon and has become a favorite location for investors and immigrants for the following reasons.
1. High Elevation
Lipa is elevated at approximately 1,025 feet above sea level, which is the 3rd highest among the cities in Luzon.
2. Less Risk to Flood
Lipa remains a flood-free area in general with its high elevation, but with climate change and torrential rain, there’s no more location anywhere that can be considered 100% flood-free. As for Lipa’s case, there are always catchment areas all over the city but once the rains stopped the flood will subside almost immediately.
3. Protected by Two Mountains
Lipa is nestled between Mount Malarayat and Mount Maculot which makes it a low-risk area for natural disasters. These two mountains serve as a windbreak during typhoons. Mount Makulot, in the west, also served as a shield during eruptions of the Taal Volcano, Lipa serves as the primary evacuation area during such situations.
