Soriquez said the widening and rehabilitation of the MacArthur Highway or the Manila North Road (MNR), which will cost some P1.9 billion, will help motorists who cannot afford to pay the toll increases on the NLEX.

A document obtained by The STAR showed that the P360,000 was paid to maintain each of the three vehicles used in 2002 in several projects in Zamboanga del Sur, Lanao del Sur and Lanao del Norte.
