Temple Groundbreaking in Philippines

Elder Dallin H. Oaks and Elder Quentin L. Cool of the quorum of the Twelve Apostles led a simple groundbreaking ceremony for the construction of the Cebu Philippines Temple. Elder Oaks offered the dedicatory prayer, and Elder Cook gave a short message.
The Cebu Temple is the 132nd temple announced or under construction. It is planned to be completed within the next two years, and will be the second temple in the Philippines; the first was the Manila Temple.
Additional buildings will be built on the temple complex including patron housing (for visitors from outside Cebu) a distribution center, a meeting house, and residences for the temple and mission presidents.
