Chapter 2: Local Road Administration 23 and barangay roads and highways, based on objective criteria it shall adopt; and to provide or authorize the conversion of roads and highways from one category to another. The issuance and adoption of the Design Guidelines, Criteria and Standards (DGCS) for Public Works and Highways by then MPWH (now DPWH) in 1989 provided a standard classification for national, provincial, city, municipal and barangay roads. The official functional classifications of roads as defined in the actual and specific provisions of EO 113 and the MPWH DGCS are detailed in Table 2.2. These administrative jurisdictions are prior to the implementation of devolution and decentralization of frontline functions to the LGUs. During this time, the National Government still had administrative jurisdiction over local roads. The classification of roads defined in the MPWH DGCS remains the most current government statute specifying the official functional and administrative classification of roads and highways in the country (except the funding allocation which have been devolved to LGUs by virtue of RA 7160).
