Pablo Ocampo Street is an inner city main road in Manila, Philippines. It runs west-east for about 3.4 kilometers (2.1 miles) connecting the southern districts of Malate and San Andres southeast to Makati.
Originally called Vito Cruz Street after Hermogenes Cruz, the 19th century mayor of Pineda (present-day Pasay), the street was renamed in 1989 in honor of the Filipino statesman and lawyer Pablo Ocampo.[1][2]
The Manila section runs from Roxas Boulevard near the Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP) complex heading east through the city's southern limits in Malate district. It crosses Harrison Avenue and Taft Avenue, passing beneath the Manila LRT Line 1. From there, it continues for another kilometer past the Singalong area and southwestern San Andres district toward Osmeña Highway. Upon entering Makati east of Osmeña, the road turns southeast at Kamagong Street where it becomes Ocampo Street Extension. It passes through the northern Makati villages of La Paz and San Antonio until it meets its eastern terminus at South Avenue west of the Manila South Cemetery.
Pablo Ocampo Street is served by the Vito Cruz LRT Station along Taft Avenue and the Vito Cruz railway station along Osmeña Highway. It also extends into the CCP Complex and Bay City area west of Roxas Boulevard as Pedro Bukaneg Street.
