Steel Beams and Columns Rise Above the Tacloban City Philippines Temple Site

Set against a lush hillside, the Tacloban City Philippines Temple is rising above its construction site as steel beams and columns frame the second story of the building. Extensive scaffolding surrounds portions of the building as crews prepare to install the exterior finishes. A tower crane stands overhead, assisting the ongoing development of the temple's framework. The temple is the first to be constructed on the island of Leyte.
