History
Announced in 2006, the temple was dedicated in three sessions on June 13, 2010, following a two-week open house period.[4][5]
The plans to build a temple in Cebu City were announced by the LDS Church to local church leaders on 18 April 2006.[6] 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.[7]
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.[8]
In 2020, the Cebu City Philippines Temple was closed temporarily during the year in response to the coronavirus pandemic.[9]
