Senator Gil Puyat Avenue (formerly Buendia Avenue) is a major arterial thoroughfare which travels east–west through the cities of Makati and Pasay in western Metro Manila, Philippines. It is one of the busiest avenues in Metro Manila linking the Makati Central Business District with the rest of the metropolis. Its western end begins at Roxas Boulevard and continues through San Isidro District, Pasay until intersecting with Taft Avenue. Past the intersection with the elevated Gil Puyat LRT Station, the road runs through Tramo Street and Barangay Palanan in Makati. East of Osmeña Highway, Gil Puyat intersects with the busy streets of the Central Business District before finally reaching its terminus at Epifanio de los Santos Avenue (EDSA).
This 4-12 lane divided avenue takes its name from the Filipino senator who served from 1951-1972, Senator Gil J. Puyat. It was originally named Buendia Avenue after Nicolas Buendia, a Bulacan senator of the 1940s.[1][2] The avenue also has short extensions into Forbes Park in Makati as Buendia Avenue Extension, and into the CCP Complex and Bay City area of Pasay as Jose Diokno Boulevard. Part of Gil Puyat Avenue is designated as a component of Circumferential Road 3 of the Metro Manila Arterial Road System.
