The plan was to convert Glorietta into an indoor facility and integrate it with existing nearby buildings as well as newly constructed ones such as the Quad cinemas . The Glorietta mall , known originally as Quad , was opened in 1992 with a gross leasable area of 250,000 m ² , envisioned as one of the largest malls in the Philippines . The mall was divided into four components , two of which were Quad 1 ( now Glorietta 1 ) , which retained the four Quad cinemas that it absorbed and were soon named as Glorietta 1 Cinemas and would operate until 2010 , and Quad 2 ( now Glorietta 2 ) , which had a theme park named Glico 's Great Adventure and was soon to become the main setting for a deadly explosion in 2007
