President Russell M. Nelson announced the construction of another temple for the Philippines during his closing remarks at the Sunday Afternoon Session of General Conference on April 1, 2018. The Cagayan de Oro Philippines Temple will be constructed in the southern Philippines on the island of Mindanao—the second largest island in the Philippines with a population of over 27 million.[1][2] The city of Cagayan de Oro is in the region of Northern Mindanao, Philippines.

The Republic of the Philippines is an archipelagic country that consists of around 7,641 islands that are broadly categorized under three main geographical divisions from north to south: Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao.

Currently operating in the Philippines are the Manila Philippines Temple and the Cebu City Philippines Temple. The Urdaneta Philippines Temple, the Alabang Philippines Temple (a second temple for the greater Manila area), the Davao Philippines Temple, the Bacolod Philippines Temple, and the Tacloban City Philippines Temple are in the planning and construction stages.

The Philippines is home to more than 850,000 members of the Church meeting in 1,275 congregations. A few Filipinos joined the Church in the 1940s and 1950s, but missionary work did not begin in earnest until 1961. After that point, it accelerated quickly. By the end of the decade, the Church had a presence on eight major islands. In 1973 the first stake in the Philippines was organized.

Location

The Cagayan de Oro Philippines Temple will be built on a 4.9-acre site located at Lot 2163-c and Lot 2163-d Rosario Limketkai Avenue, Cagayan de Oro City, Misamis. Plans call for a two-story temple of approximately 18,449 square feet. An ancillary building will also be constructed and include an arrival center, patron housing and a distribution center.

Further information, such as exterior renderings and groundbreaking dates, will be made public later. Project leaders continue to work with local officials on preliminary plans for the temples in preparation for construction activities.

“Father, we thank Thee for the faithful tithe payers of this Church, not only in the Philippines but throughout the world, whose voluntary offerings have made the building and maintenance of this temple possible,” Elder Revillo said in the dedicatory prayer on the site. “Thou have truly opened the windows of heaven and poured out this blessing because we have given our tithes and offerings.”

Joining the many Latter-day Saints in attendance were Cagayan de Oro City Vice Mayor Jocelyn Rodriguez; Ms. Mona Pangan, from the Archdiocese of Cagayan de Oro; and several other community and interfaith leaders.[3]
