Trunk Roads	Composed of primary transport backbones (Roads that (inter-)connect regional growth centers and other major islands, roads providing direct access to important centers and other areas vital for regional development and emergencies).	EDSA, MacArthur Highway, C-5, Maharlika Highway, Commonwealth Avenue, Marcos Highway (North Luzon), Jose Abad Santos Avenue (Central Luzon), Aguinaldo Highway (Cavite), N6/Bacolod South Road (Negros), N9/highway connecting Butuan, Cagayan de Oro, Iligan and Pagadian (Mindanao)	60 - 120
