Cruz Intersection.^[1] Under Republic Act No. 9270 approved on March 19, 2004, the highway was named after the Maria Clara Lobregat, who was the city's first female mayor serving from 1998 until her death in January 2004.^[2]

There were no reports of accidents or injuries, but hundreds of commuters were stranded in Zamboanga City because provincial buses could not pass through.^[3]
