The National Route 62 (N62) forms part of the Philippine highway network.[1] It runs south from Metro Manila to northeastern Cavite.

Route description

Parañaque to Las Piñas

The northern section of the N62 forms a major north-south collector road in southern Metro Manila, Philippines. Originally a segment of the Calle Real, it is now a four-lane undivided arterial designated as a component of Manila's Radial Road 2 network. It runs parallel to Roxas Boulevard and its extension, the Manila–Cavite Expressway. The northern section in Parañaque is known as Elpidio Quirino Avenue; the southern section in Las Piñas is Padre Diego Cera Avenue.

Las Piñas to Bacoor

The southern section of the N62 forms part of the General Emilio Aguinaldo Highway, also known as Cavite-Batangas Road and Manila West Road. It is a 4 to 6-lane, 41-kilometre (25 mi) highway passing through the busiest towns and cities of Cavite, Philippines.[2][3][4][5]

Bacoor to Noveleta

The Aguinaldo Highway section continues south as National Routes 419 and 410, while N62 goes west as Tirona Highway from Bacoor down to Noveleta.

Noveleta to Cavite City

Finally, Manila–Cavite Road forms the final stretch of the highway, going from Noveleta to Cavite City.

Several landmarks and historical sites are situated along N62, including Aguinaldo Shrine in Kawit, Cavite, where the first Philippine Republic was proclaimed in 1898.[6]
