INTRODUCTION
Philippine transportation in the early years of 1900 is depending largely on trails, waterways, earth roads, rail roads and partialy graveled roads. Proper roads or highways in those times were merely a dream for Filipinos. The development of roadways in our country was merely initiated by the time that the Americans stayed in our mother land. The popular Macadam road type which originated from England was merely intruduced. Later-on gained wide acceptance because of the abundant supply of stones and gravel.
After World War II, the rehabilitation, construction and beautification of roads and briges were continued by the new independent Philippine government. They money paid the Japannese government for the war damages and as well as reperations. Other were grants from the government of the United States of America.
After almost five decayes, highways and expressways were constructed through the help of foreign banks, who approved loans and financial assistance. As a result of improvement in the roadways the vehicles of different types started to flood the roadways. The LTO reviled that there are about eighty thousand (80000) new vehicles were added in their list every year.
