The barangay is home to the following educational institutions: Tambo is a major transportation hub in southwest Metro Manila.

It is located along the busy Baclaran-Bay City traffic corridor south of EDSA where several major thoroughfares are routed through.

The Parañaque Integrated Terminal Exchange is located at the Asia World subdistrict of Bay City by the barangay's border with Don Galo.
