TUTUBAN CENTER

Tutuban Center, strategically located in the heart of Manila's shopping district, has formed part of the Philippine history for more than a century now. Formerly Tutuban Station, it started as a 195-km railway connecting Manila and Dagupan (Pangasinan) which opened in November 1892. It was operated by Manila Railroad Company, now known as the PNR or the Philippine National Railways. It was for this reason that the Main Station building of Tutuban Center is declared as a heritage site by the National Historical Commission of the Philippines (NHCP).
