Terms of use

Not an official website

BetterCatarman is a community-run guide. It is not the website of the Municipal Government of Catarman, and nothing on it is an official announcement, decision, or document of any government office. For official transactions, the office concerned has the final word.

Information is for reference

We work to keep the information accurate and show where each part comes from, but requirements, fees, contact details, and officials change. Some parts are based on national rules or general guidance rather than Catarman’s own published information, and are labelled that way. Please confirm with the office concerned before you rely on anything here, especially before a trip, a payment, or a deadline.

The weather forecast comes from a forecast model, not from PAGASA. In an emergency or a typhoon, follow PAGASA, the MDRRMO, and your barangay officials, and call 911 if lives are at risk.

No guarantee

The site is provided as it is, free of charge, by volunteers. We cannot guarantee that it is complete, current, or always available, and we are not responsible for decisions made using it. Where you find a mistake, please report it so it can be fixed.
