Hello again, everyone! Within the last hour or so, the Church's official Newsroom announced official details for the Bacolod Philippines Temple. The released information includes a location, exterior rendering, and the announcement that ground will be broken for that temple on Saturday December 11, 2021. Elder Taniela B. Wakolo, the pesident of the Philippines Area of the Church, will preside thereat.
The temple will be situatted on the Bacolod Airport Access Road, North of Buri Road in Bacolod. The single-story edifice of 26,700 square feet will be joined by patron housing, an arrival center and a distribution center, all of which will be found in the ancillary building adjacent to the temple. The Bacolod Philippines Temple was one of 2 announced originally in October 2019. for which no official information had been announced. The only one now remaining from that group is now the Freetown Sierra Leone Temple.
I wanted to quickly note here something related to the timing: Although this temple will not have a groundbreaking until December 11, I am reasonably certain that the Church will announce groundbreakings for quite a few temples that will wind up occurring between the last currently-scheduled groundbreaking (for the Pago Pago American Samoa Temple on October 30 of this year) and the groundbreaking for the newest temple in the Philippines on December 11.
I will be sure to keep my eyes open for any update in that regard, and will pass that along to you all here as needed. That does it for now.
