Development
The highway was proposed in 1965, and built under the Martial Law dictatorship of President Ferdinand Marcos. Government planners believed that the motorway and other connected roads would stimulate agricultural production by reducing transport costs, encourage social and economic development outside existing major urban centres such as Manila, and expand industrial production for domestic and overseas markets. Construction was supported by loans and grants from foreign aid institutions, including the World Bank.
The highway was rehabilitated and improved in 1997, during the Ramos Administration, with assistance from the Japanese government, and dubbed the Philippine-Japan Friendship Highway. In 1998, the Department of Tourism designated 35 sections of the highway as "Scenic Highways", with developed amenities for travellers and tourists.
In March 2018, Secretary Mark Villar of the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) inaugurated the 24.61 -kilometer arterial road that will link the North Luzon Expressway (NLEX) with the Maharlika Highway that traverses the central part of Luzon.[1]

Asian Highway Network
The Pan-Philippine Highway is designated as in the Asian Highway Network, a cooperative project which seeks to improve highway systems and standards across the continent. It is currently the only highway in the system that is isolated from every other highway; island-based sections of the Asian Highway Network in Japan (
), Sri Lanka (AH43) and Indonesia (
) are all linked to the mainland sections by ferries to South Korea (), India (Dhanushkodi), and Singapore, respectively.
