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 church's second temple in the Philippines.

History

Plans to build a temple in Cebu City were announced by the LDS Church to local church leaders on 18 April 2006.[4] 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.[5]

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 and mission presidents, and a mission office.[6]

After construction was completed, the temple was dedicated by church president Thomas S. Monson in three sessions on June 13, 2010, following a two-week public open house.[7][8]

In 2020, like all the church's others, the Cebu City Philippines Temple was closed temporarily in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.[9]
