In his closing remarks at the 193rd Annual General Conference of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, President Russell M. Nelson announced plans to construct a temple in Tuguegarao City, Philippines.

The Tuguegarao City Philippines Temple is one of thirteen temples in planning, construction, or operation in the Philippines. The City of Tuguegarao is the capital of Cagayan province on the northern part of the island of Luzon which is nearly 300 miles north of Manila. The Philippines is densely populated with nearly 114 million residents. There are more than 865,000 Latter-day Saints in 1,296 congregations in the Philippines. Since the country officially opened for missionary work in 1961, Church growth has been among the fastest in the world.[1]

President Joseph Fielding Smith, worldwide leader of the Church, dedicated the Philippine Islands for the preaching of the gospel at Clark Air Base on 21 August 1955. The Philippines became part of the Southern Far East Mission of the Church.

After much effort, legal registration was finally granted to the Church six years later, and the appropriate clearances were secured to allow full-time missionaries to enter the country. Consequently, in the early morning of 28 April 1961, around 100 Latter-day Saints gathered on the grounds of the American War Memorial Cemetery at Fort Bonifacio as Elder Gordon B. Hinckley (then an Assistant to the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles) rededicated the Philippines for missionary work.[2]

Location

The Tuguegarao City Philippines Temple will be built on a 6.3-acre site south of Enrile Avenue, Cariq Regional Centre, Tuguegarao, Philippines. Plans call for a single-story temple of approximately 18,850 square feet. Patron housing and a distribution center will also be constructed.
