Senator Gil Puyat Avenue (Buendia Avenue) (N190)


Senator Gil J. Puyat Avenue, also known simply as Gil Puyat Avenue and formerly and still referred to as 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 the district of San Isidro, Pasay until intersecting with Taft Avenue. Past the intersection with the elevated Gil Puyat LRT Station, the road runs through Tramo Street and Barangays Palanan and San Isidro in Makati. East of Osmeña Highway, Gil Puyat intersects with the busy streets of the Makati Central Business District before finally reaching its terminus on Epifanio de los Santos Avenue (EDSA). The avenue also has an extension into Forbes Park in Makati as Buendia Avenue Extension.

Since 1982, this 4- to 12-lane divided avenue takes its name from Gil J. Puyat, a Filipino senator who served from 1951 to 1972. It was originally named Buendia Avenue after Nicolas Buendia, a Katipunero and legislator from Bulacan in the 1940s. Part of the avenue from Roxas Boulevard to Ayala Avenue is designated as a component of Circumferential Road 3 of the Metro Manila Arterial Road System, while the entire route forms part of National Route 190 (N190) of the Philippine highway network.
