Road in the Philippines
National Route 207 (N207) or the Congressman Andres Acop Cosalan Road is a , two-lane, secondary national road that forms part of the Philippine highway network.
History.
Previously called the Gurel–Bokod–Kabayan–Buguias–Abatan Road, the road's current name honors the former Representative of Baguio and Benguet Andres Acop Cosalan, Sr., who served for two terms from 1965 to 1973 and again from 1978 to 1984. Cosalan was instrumental in the development of Benguet and Baguio, and was mostly known for co-authoring Republic Act 4695 in 1966 that would divide the old Mountain Province to four different provinces, namely, Kalinga–Apayao (which was further split in 1995), Benguet, Ifugao, and Mountain Province. The road was changed to its present name upon the passing of Republic Act No. 11061 in January 16, 2017.
