Back of the temple patron housing. Our neighbors to the left. They are respectful of the temple and have not bothered to climb the wall.

Flowering trees on the perimeter of the temple. The fragrance of the flowers is just wonderful

These flowers are vibrant in color. So beautiful to the grounds.

On our last day here Saturday the 5th, we interviewed two candidates for Security Positions for our staff. We now have a good selection. Afterwards we went to the monitor office located in Temple Patron Housing for some work. Myself and Lot toured the temple grounds and I took some pictures. It was a beautiful day both in temperature and sunny weather.
After returning to the Marriott we packed and then walked to Ayala Mall (just steps away) and had a wonderful meal at "Carve" an Australian and Filipine owned restaurant (husband and wife). We met the owner and his wife there plus their son. We know we will return to the restaurant upon visiting Cebu again. The restaurant was suggested by another missionary couple Elder and Sister Luke serving at the ERC (Employment Resource Center)


This tree and several other old trees were on the property when it was purchased. Such magnificent trees.

  1. Thank you for the beautiful pictures of the Cebu temple and grounds. I was surprised that only 6 months after being dedicated it needed to be cleaned. Do you happen to know why they are cleaning it now?

  2. Bill, the temple was dedicated on June 13 2010. The outside structure was in place long before that. The polution here is immense in Manila but less in Cebu. My personal observation is that it was in need of cleaning. The Moroni Statue was very tarnished also and they have cleaned that up.
