Have just completed a major overhaul of the draft guidelines to include more elaborate descriptions of each classification from motorway to residential, I also identified what roads would fall under trunk under the proposal (though most are already tagged as such). This includes most of the national primary roads (except where bypassed) as well as some identified national secondary roads, particularly ones connecting with RORO terminals. There is one special case of trunk, Plaridel Bypass, being a future expressway (as future Plaridel Toll Road).
There is however a problem with the non-expressway segments of C-5, which would remain as trunk, but with Routes 59 (Marcos Highway) and 60 (Ortigas Ave east of EDSA up to Antipolo) downgraded to primary, it would be isolated from the rest of the trunk network. To provide the best connectivity, it would mean completely marking all of Congressional Ave (Route 129) as trunk (with the consideration the opening of NLEX Segment 8.2 will eventually downgrade the Mindanao Ave leg of C-5 to primary) keeping trunk status on part of Ortigas Ave around Ortigas Center may also help.
