The island is home to a small catholic church and an elementary school.[3]
Due to its proximity to the Pacific Ocean, Victory Island is exposed and vulnerable to typhoons. On November 8, 2013, Typhoon Haiyan made landfall in Guiuan, devastating the island and destroying houses and fishing boats, uprooting trees, killing at least one person and leaving fifteen people missing.[4]
