Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints / Manila Philippines Temple

The Spired And The Sacred
Perched on a hilltop overlooking the Marikina Valley, the Manila Philippines Temple stands as a symbol of the faith and devotion of Filipino Latter-day Saints. First sharing the gospel with Filipinos during the Spanish-American War, LDS missionaries laid the groundwork for a community that now ranks fourth globally in total membership. Today, the Philippines boasts both the greatest number of Latter-day Saints and the highest per-capita membership of any Asian nation.
