HOLINESS TO THE LORD
THE HOUSE OF THE LORD

"The temple is a point of intersection between heaven and earth. In this sacred place, holy work will be performed through selfless service and love. The temple reminds me of all that is good and beautiful in the world."
—David A. Bednar

Testing the Soil for the Tuguegarao City Philippines Temple

Drilling is taking place at the Tuguegarao City Philippines Temple site to determine the depth of the bedrock and to extract core samples that will be analyzed to determine the soil's strength, compaction, and water content. This information is essential for engineering a safe and solid foundation. Plans for the temple were announced two years ago, and the site location was announced six weeks ago on February 18, 2025.
