This will be the fourth Latter-day Saint temple in the Philippines and the second in the Greater Manila Area.
The Alabang temple’s groundbreaking marked the first time that two temples in the Philippines were under construction at the same time. The other temple under construction was the Urdaneta Philippines Temple, whose groundbreaking happened a year and a half earlier.
This was one of the last five temples announced by President Thomas S. Monson before he passed away in January 2018.
