Did you know that on September 2, 1940, then United States High Commissioner Francis Bowes Sayre Sr and Philippine President Manuel L Quezon inaugurated the new 155-kilometer Cotabato-Bukidnon Highway? This major highway was later renamed as Sayre Highway in honor of the American diplomat who spearheaded its construction. The highway has since been extended to 192 kilometers reaching Cagayan de Oro. Photos from Quezon Family Collection Facebook Group.
