The Francis Bowes Sayre Sr. Highway or simply the Sayre Highway is a four-to-six lane, 192-kilometre (119 mi), primary national highway that connects Cagayan de Oro, Misamis Oriental[1] to Kabacan, Cotabato.[2] It traverses the provinces of Misamis Oriental, Bukidnon[3][4][5] and Cotabato.[6]
The highway's name was Route 3 but was changed to Sayre Highway, in honor of Francis Bowes Sayre, Sr., the U.S. Philippine High Commissioner who spearheaded its construction.[7] It extends southward through central Mindanao for a distance of about 161 kilometers (100 mi), linking the northern and southern arms of Route 1 (Digos–Butuan Highway). This section of the Philippine national highway was constructed during the American occupation of the Philippines.
The parts of the highway are composed of National Route 10 (N10), a spur route of Asian Highway 26 in the north; and National Route 943 (N943) in the southern portion of the Philippine highway network.
