Basing on loose definition/s of trunk roads in the philippines, can
the roads below (Top 10 Most Heavily Traveled Corridor in MM) be all
converted to trunk roads? (some are already trunk roads)
- very high volume of traffic (carrying the combined volumes of
primary & secondary roads connected to it)
-if it functions like a corridor.
- a 'road system' that connects 2 or multiple provinces (crosses
provincial boundaries) eg. Maharlika Highway (AH26), Marcos Highway
(112km),  Halsema Highway (180km), Manila East Road upto Laguna
(80km), MacArthur Highway (Monumento to La Union, Gapan-Olongapo Road,
StaRosa(Laguna) to Tagaytay(Cavite)
TagaytayCity(Cavite)-Nasugbu(Batangas), etc.) There must be a lot like
these in Mindanao,
