I'll be planning a major edit around Metro Manila and suburbs, that will reduce the extent of the trunk network to follow the proposal here, starting with filling the Route 1 gap, then trunk to primary downgrades in Metro Manila, Rizal-Laguna-Quezon Province, and finally, Cavite and western Batangas.
So far, the latest change is that the Antipolo-Teresa-Morong route was upgraded to trunk. Now, suburban Rizal has this ring of trunk roads with no primaries to complement it. There are no roads within that ring that can be classified higher than secondary due to their local nature, and except for upgrade to Quarry Road, the road network within that ring will be the same.
