A recent walk through the Balintawak neighborhood of Quezon City, which actually leads to some interesting on-the-ground footage of the 1970s-era Y interchange of NLEX and Quirino Highway (the Old Novaliches Flyover and Camachile Flyover)

Been in the Philippines for the last 35 days  on vacation and been able to travel multiple expressways by car:

SLEX
Skyway
CALAX (currently open portion)
CAVITEX (briefly)
NLEX
SCTEX (in its entirety!)
CLLEX (currently open portion)

Posting some of the shots I and my friends were able to capture during these travels:

The northern extension of Skyway Stage 3 to New Manila International Airport has now been given a new moniker, Northern Access Link Expressway (NALEX) -

https://www.skyscrapercity.com/threads/northern-access-link-expressway-nalex.2367563/

The project also includes the 73 or so mile Bataan-Tarlac Expressway project, from NMIA north to the Tarlac area - essentially a parallel relief route to NLEX.

Cavitex C5 expressway link in the Philippines. And the NLEX connector.

San Miguel recently announced the South Access Link Expressway (SALEX) project, which is actually a multi-expressway system consisting of the following previously proposed limited-access connections

https://www.skyscrapercity.com/threads/southern-access-link-expressway-salex.2368116/

1. R10-C3 Link (connecting Metro Manila Skyway Stage 3 at the Sgt. Rivera interchange with the under-construction Caloocan Interchange of NLEX Harbor Link and NLEX Connector) along 5th Avenue in Caloocan

2. Shoreline Expressway (CAVITEX-NLEX Harbor Link route parallel or along Roxas and Mel Lopez Boulevards) linking Pasay, Manila (Malate/Ermita/Tondo) and Navotas

3. Quirino Avenue expressway spur, from Metro Manila Skyway Stage 3 at the Quirino/Osmena bend in Manila's Paco district west to Shoreline Expressway in Malate, Manila

4. Buendia Avenue expressway spur.  Unclear if this is just from Shoreline Expressway in Pasay to Skyway Stage 3 in Makati, or a full Buendia Avenue expressway east to EDSA and BGC.

In addition, the Ayala Boulevard/Pedro Gil Street corridor in Manila is also part of this project.

Here is some road projects on Cebu Island.

A control city update!

From the NAIAX eastern terminus at Skyway.  Interesting that Manila itself is skipped in favor of the longer-distance control of Balintawak:
