Chino Roces Avenue, formerly known as (and still commonly referred to as) Pasong Tamo, is a prominent north–south road in Makati and Taguig, Metro Manila, Philippines. It runs 5.80 kilometers (3.60 miles) from Olympia and Tejeros to Fort Bonifacio.[1] The avenue is named after the Filipino journalist Joaquin "Chino" Roces. The fact that the avenue is the location of various media establishments influenced the renaming.[2][3]
