Hi Jherome, I think the problem with discussing the road classifications in the Philippines is that the proposals you are suggesting are too abstract.
Here's a suggestion: Why not create a simple map using uMap[1] showing how your proposed changes would affect the road network in a few selected provinces in the country. Let's select, say, Guimaras, Negros Oriental, and Pangasinan as those provinces. Then once we are able to visualize how your proposed road networks look like then we can have a more concrete discussion about your proposed changes.
