Dear Ervin, Common conventions are: - trunk - roads connecting provinces - primary - roads connecting towns/cities - secondary/tertiary - this gets a little bit tricky but for me, but I use tertiary for most roads connecting barangays
More explanations here [0], which, I think should be updated. One common case for the PH is that trunk/primary/secondary/tertiary is not necessarily a paved/concrete/asphalted road. Our tag preference is by function. For example a two-lane dirt road by function is major road going through barangay centers. For this case, my personal preference is to tag it as highway=tertiary and add a surface [1] tag surface=unpaved. This is also one topic Totor and I discussed in Cebu. I encourage everyone that whenever you have explicit knowledge, add the surface tag. Hope that helps, please expand this discussion further.
