Manila Philippines Temple
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Manila Philippines Temple is the 29th operating temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
On April 1, 1981, it was announced that a Mormon temple would be built in the Philippines. The groundbreaking and site dedication for the temple were on August 25, 1982. Back in January of 1981, the LDS Church had purchased land in Quezon City, in the metro Manila area. The site was partly chosen because of its accessibility to members throughout the temple district.
On September 25, 1984, President Gordon B. Hinckley dedicated the Manila Philippines Temple. The temple serves half a million members of the LDS Church in the Philippines, Micronesia, Indonesia, Singapore, Thailand, India, and part of Burma. The temple has four ordinance rooms and three sealing rooms and has a total floor area of 26,683 square feet.
