5/5 Jose Ernesto “Joey” I. 2 years ago on Google
Part
of
the
Glorietta
Mall
complex
run
by
the
Ayala
Group.
I'm
old
enough
to
remember
when
Glorietta
was
still
called
Quad
because
it
was
divided
into
4
separate
buildings
radiating
out
from
a
central
open
plaza.
That
open
plaza
is
now
the
central
activity
area,
and
all
the
separate
Quads/Gloriettas
have
now
been
connected
and
placed
under
one
roof,
along
with
the
central
area.
This
makes
it
difficult
to
delineate
between
the
different
Glorietta
numbers.
Nor,
for
the
most
part,
is
it
very
useful
anyway.
Especially
among
millenials,
this
is
just
Glorietta.
The
place
is
neat,
modern,
brightly
lit
but
not
glaring;
the
usual
ambience
of
Ayala-run
malls.
It
can
get
crowded
and
hectic
at
peak
times,
but
it
still
manages
to
avoid
descending
totally
into
Baclaran
levels.
One
thing
about
the
entire
Glorietta
complex,
it's
easier
to
lose
your
way
than
in
the
usual
mall.
After
the
original
4
buildings
were
joined
together,
plus
all
the
intervening
renovations,
it
has
now
quite
a
lot
of
curved
corridors
and
split
levels.
It's
easy
to
either
lose
your
way,
or
else
unexpected
find
yourself
in
a
place
that
you
realize
you
had
already
passed
through
several
minutes
ago.
On
the
plus
side,
it
contributes
to
a
feeling
of
variety
and
size.
MOA
is
larger,
and
I
think
even
Megamall,
but
those
malls
have
a
Manhattan-like
structure
where
the
corridors
run
roughly
along
just
north-south
and
east-west
lines,
so
you
can
be
sure
if
you've
already
been
through
every
part
of
the
mall.
But
with
Glorietta,
it
largely
retains
a
hint
of
mystery,
a
feeling
that
there's
some
part
that
you
still
haven't
explored.
