Sayre Highway is the portion of the Philippine national highway that starts from Puerto, Cagayan de Oro City to Kabacan, North Cotabato. It traverses the provinces of Misamis Oriental, Bukidnon and North Cotabato. [ [http://www.history.army.mil/brochures/southphil/southphils.htm Southern Philippines:The U.S. Army Campaigns of World War II] ]

The highway's name was Route 3 but was changed to Sayre Highway's, in honor of Francis B. Sayre, the U.S. Philippine High Commissioner who spearheaded its construction. [ [http://www.ibiblio.org/hyperwar/USA/USA-P-PI/USA-P-PI-28.html US Army in WWII: The Fall of the Philippines] ] ] It extends southward through central Mindanao for a distance of about 100 miles, linking the northern and southern arms of Route 1 (Digos-Butuan Highway). This section of the Philippine national highway was constructed during the American occupation of the Philippines.
