Announced in 2006, the Cebu City Philippines Temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is the 133rd operating temple for the church. Located in Lahug in Cebu City, it is the second LDS temple in the Philippines. The temple was dedicated in three sessions on June 13, 2010, following a two week open house period.[3][4]
The plans to build a temple in Cebu City were announced by the LDS Church to local church leaders on 18 April 2006.[5] 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.[6]
The temple was built on an 11-acre (4.5 ha) site that it shares with a church meetinghouse, patron house, residences for the temple president and mission president, and a mission office.[7]
