Ali Mall in Cubao is one of Metro Manila’s most iconic shopping centers, located inside Araneta City. It was inaugurated on June 30, 1976, less than a year after the historic “Thrilla in Manila” boxing match at the nearby Araneta Coliseum. Since then, Ali Mall has stood out for introducing several “firsts” in Philippine retail: the first fully enclosed and air-conditioned mall; the first cineplex; the first multi-level covered parking garage; and the first food court in a shopping mall. Over the decades, it has evolved — undergoing expansions and renovations — but continues serving as a landmark destination for shopping, dining, entertainment, and even government services.
