Manila Philippines Temple

The Manila Philippines Temple is the 29th operating temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

On August 21, 1955, Joseph Fielding Smith, then of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles of the Church of Jesus Christ, dedicated the land in the Philippines for the preaching of the gospel. The first four missionaries arrived in June of 1961 and by 1973 over 13,000 Filipinos had been baptized. In 1987 selections from the Book of Mormon were published in the Filipino language Tagalog and a missionary training center was established in Manila in 1986.

The announcement of this Latter-day Saint temple occurred on April 1, 1981; groundbreaking and site dedication for the temple were on August 25, 1982. Two years later, the Manila Philippines Temple was dedicated. By the time of the dedication, Church membership had reached 76,000. There are now more than 867,000 Latter-day Saints in the Philippines.

In January 1981 the Church of Jesus Christ 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. When the temple was announced, a fundraising campaign was quickly set up in the Philippines. The local Saints sacrificed greatly but nine months later, they had only reached 65 percent of their goal. Church leaders again encouraged the members to give all they could to the fund, and the Filipino Saints responded once again, reaching and even exceeding the goal in three months time.

During the construction of the temple, several events hindered its progress. In 1983, the assassination of a Filipino senator led to rioting and demonstrations. That, with a weak economy, unemployment, and the increasing presence of crime, the people were struggling just to get by. During these trying times, the Church established ways to help members become more self-reliant and encouraged them to stay close to God.

On September 25, 1984, President Gordon B. Hinckley dedicated the Manila Philippines Temple. At the time of its dedication, the temple served half a million members of the Church of Jesus Christ 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.

The Manila Philippines Temple is one of 10 temples around the world that invites the public to walk its grounds to view Christmas lights. In 2024, the Manila community celebrated Jesus Christ’s birth with choirs, speakers, and a countdown to the temple light opening, marking thirty-eight years of Christmas lights festivities.
