The Urdaneta Philippines Temple has opened its doors to the public, beginning with its media day held Tuesday morning, March 12, in Urdaneta, about 100 miles (160 kilometers) northwest of the Philippines’ capital city of Manila.
In conjunction with gathering local media representatives for a news briefing and then offering them tours of the sacred edifice, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has released interior and exterior photos of the new house of the Lord.
President Dallin H. Oaks, first counselor in the First Presidency, will dedicate the Urdaneta Philippines Temple on Sunday, April 28, in two sessions at 10 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. local time.
Once dedicated, the Urdaneta Philippines Temple will be the Church’s 190th dedicated house of the Lord worldwide. The temple will serve Church members residing in central and northern Luzon.
The temple images were first published on ChurchofJesusChrist.org.
It was the second such temple media day for the Church, with a similar event held Monday, March 11, for the recently renovated Manti Utah Temple.
