Antonio Arnáiz Avenue, also known simply as Avenida Arnáiz and by its former official name Pásay Road, is a major east–west collector road linking Makati and Pasay in the Philippines. It stretches across western Metro Manila from Roxas Boulevard in Pasay to Epifanio de los Santos Avenue (EDSA/C-4) in Makati.
The Osmeña Highway splits Arnaiz Avenue into two sections. The western section, found mostly in Pasay, is a congested and highly pedestrianized road that used to be known as Calle Libertad.[4][5] This section passes through some of the most important Pasay landmarks, such as the Cuneta Astrodome, Cartimar shopping district and Santa Clara de Montefalco Parish. Also located within the vicinity are the Department of Foreign Affairs building, old Pasay City Hall, Pasay City Sports Complex, and Pasay Cemetery.
East of Osmeña Highway, the avenue enters the Makati Central Business District, where it merges with traffic from a Skyway ramp near the Amorsolo Street junction. It continues across Legazpi and San Lorenzo villages of the Makati CBD, which contains several office towers and condominiums such as Cityland Pasong Tamo Tower and Avida Towers, The Beacon, several Japanese restaurants, Walter Mart Makati, Don Bosco Technical Institute, and the Ayala Center. This section of the road in Makati used to be known as Pasay Road. Its eastern terminus is at its junction with EDSA near Dusit Thani Hotel.
The avenue was named after the Filipino aviation pioneer Col. Antonio Somoza Arnaiz.[6] The western section is served by the Libertad LRT station along Taft Avenue, while the eastern section is served by the Pasay Road railway station along Osmeña Highway and the Ayala MRT station along EDSA. A small 1.6-kilometer (0.99 mi) long portion of a continuation of the road in Dasmariñas Village, Makati is also called Pasay Road from EDSA to Tamarind Road.
