Buendia was a station on the South Main Line ("Southrail") of the Philippine National Railways. Like all PNR stations, this station is At grade. The station is located at the corner of Gil Puyat Avenue (formerly named Buendia Avenue) and the Osmeña Highway in Makati.

Buendia was the ninth station from Tutuban and is one of three stations serving Makati, the other two being Pasay Road and EDSA. It was permanently closed in favor of a newly constructed, more spacious Dela Rosa station located south across Dela Rosa Street.

History[]

Buendia station was opened on November 24, 1975 as part of the 83rd Anniversary of the Philippine National Railways coincided with the double tracking from Paco to Pasay Road, the station was renovated from 1989 to 1990 for the Metrotren Commuter service.

During the Northrail-Southrail Linkage Project, the platforms were raised with renovation of the station area and formally reopened on July 14, 2009.

On September 8, 2017, the station was closed due to short platforms where four to five-car trains do not fit. A new station was built south of the former station.[citation needed]
