South Luzon Expressway

The South Luzon Expressway (SLEX) is a major highway connecting Metro Manila to southern Luzon, playing a crucial role in reducing travel time and enhancing economic activities. The Management Association of the Philippines (MAP) has urged the Marcos administration to speed up the completion of the NLEX-SLEX connector road and Skyway Stage 3 to further boost logistics and tourism. Despite recent traffic incidents and delays, SLEX remains vital for national development and is set to extend to Bicol Region, creating new economic opportunities and reducing transport costs.
