New Alabang Temple Opens Its Doors to the Public

The public is invited to tour the new Alabang Philippines Temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. This sacred house of worship will be the fourth Latter-day Saint temple in the country and the second in the Manila metropolitan area.

The First Presidency of the Church opened the temple for public tours last Friday, November 21, 2025, and will run until December 13, 2025, except on Sundays.  The open house provides people of all faiths the opportunity to tour the temple’s beautiful interior and grounds and learn about the purpose of these sacred structures. Tours are free, and no reservations are needed. More information is available at http://alabangphilippinestemple.org. Following the public open house, the temple will be formally dedicated on Sunday, January 18, 2026.

The temple is located in Filinvest Corporate City, Alabang, Muntinlupa City, and features design elements that reflect the beauty and cultural heritage of the Philippines. Its exterior and interior details include a representation of the white jasmine flower, or sampaguita, the national flower of the Philippines.

There are more than 900,000 Latter-day Saints in the Philippines, worshipping in more than 1,300 congregations. Once dedicated, the Alabang Philippines Temple will serve members living in the Southern part of Luzon. Additional temples are under construction or have been announced in Bacolod, Cagayan de Oro, Davao, Iloilo, Laoag, Naga, San Jose del Monte, Santiago, Tacloban City, and Tuguegarao City.

Temples of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints differ from meetinghouses or chapels, where members gather for Sunday worship services. Each temple is considered a house of the Lord, where Jesus Christ’s teachings are reaffirmed through sacred ordinances that unite families eternally. In the temple, Church members learn more about the purpose of life and make covenants to follow Jesus Christ and serve others.

More information about the purpose of temples, as well as downloadable, high-resolution photos and b-roll of the interior and exterior of the temple, is available at news-ph.churchofjesuschrist.org.
