In a report published at the Department of Public Works and Highway (DPWH) website, it revealed that Public Works and Highway Secretary Mark Villar had presented during the Third Philippines-Japan Joint Committee Meeting on Infrastructure Development and Economic Cooperation the Bangsamoro Road Network Development Project.
The meeting was held at Tokyo early on the fourth week of September.

2. Parang-Balabagan Road

7. Marawi City Ring Road
8. Parang East Diversion Road
9. Manuangan-Parang Road
10. Tunggol 2 Bridge (On Davao-Cotabato Rd.)
11. Pagalungan Bridge (On Davao-Cotabato Rd.)
According to the report, the DPWH secretary noted “Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) has already funded the feasibility study of the Bangsamoro Road Network Development Project. We have already formed a multi-sectoral steering committee, which will be chaired by Undersecretary Emil Sadain.”
Japan is one of the countries supporting the peace process and the development of the Bangsamoro. In June last year, JICA turned over the final report on Bangsamoro Development Plan (BDP) 2 or the Medium-to Long-Term Development Plan as support to the peace building efforts and job creation in Mindanao.
