Cebu City Philippines Temple

1

The Cebu City Philippines Temple is the 133rd operating temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). Located in Lahug in Cebu City, it is the second LDS temple in the Philippines.

History

Announced in 2006, the temple was dedicated in three sessions on June 13, 2010, following a two-week open house period. The plans to build a temple in Cebu City were announced by the LDS Church to local church leaders on 18 April 2006. Ground was broken and the site was dedicated on 14 November 2007 by Dallin H. Oaks, a member of the church's Quorum of the Twelve Apostles. The temple was built on an 11 acre site that it shares with a church meetinghouse, patron house, residences for the temple and mission presidents, and a mission office. In 2020, the Cebu City Philippines Temple was closed temporarily during the year in response to the coronavirus pandemic.
