hahaha, true! the opinions would stem from how they are likely to interpret the - (dash). If they take it to mean as "to" as in, Los Banos to Calamba, then we will have to be direction sensitive here ... mid-way renaming may be a good move.
Though, normally, afaik, the "direction" of National Highways is computed relative to its radial direction from kilometer 0 in Manila. Travelers would notice this behavior and how the kilometer post distances (total distance, not inter-town distance) increases as its location gets farther away from Manila. I.e., say town A is radially nearer to Manila than town B, the kilometer posts kinda gives the hint that the road is from town A to town B and not town B to town A. So, I guess a case like Los Banos and Calamba, it would be okay to simply call it Calamba - Los Banos. Anyway, it may still be a good idea to split hairs, ah I mean, split roads :>) cheers!
