Exciting New Addition: The Iloilo Philippines Temple

On April 2, 2023, the development of the Iloilo Philippines Temple was officially announced by the Prophet Russell M. Nelson. This significant addition to the region’s landscape is set to enhance spiritual life in Iloilo City and its surrounding areas.

Key Features of the Iloilo Philippines Temple

The temple will occupy a generous 7.7 acres, with its exterior adorned in granite, presenting a striking visual for those in the vicinity. Spanning 18,850 square feet, the design showcases a single attached central spire, setting it apart with its distinctive architectural features. Notably, this new building will not feature the customary gold-leafed figure of the Angel Moroni.

Location and Infrastructure

The Iloilo Philippines Temple will be conveniently located at Circumferential Road 1 in Barangay Tacas, Jaro District, Iloilo City. A new meetinghouse will share its parking lot, fostering greater accessibility for all.
