The land my wife and I purchased and built a house was originally platted based on a provincial road. The provincial road was straightened and our property is no longer directly on the new road. Do we have a legal claim to an access right of way along the original lines? The property is in: San Jose, Libona, Bukidnon, Philippines

If the provincial road was straightened and your property now lacks direct access, you might have a legal claim for a right of way along the original lines if it is the most practical route to access your property. When a provincial road is realigned, typically, there should be provisions to ensure that properties affected by the change maintain access to the public road. The local government should have a record of the realignment and any easements established as a result
