Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) has opened a separate 5.58km bicycle lane facility along the stretch of Laguna Lake Highway in Taguig City (source: dpwh.gov.ph). This is the first national highway bike lane in the Philippines which has been in the dreams of most cyclists in this country. This type of development will provide access to safe mobility for the masses who are using bicycles as a mode of transportation. Hopefully, more of this will be built on the roads and highways of the Philippines. This will allow people to be more mobile which can enhance well being and can contribute to the economic growth of the country.
