We went to Cebu last month and that was on September 27, 2017. We stayed at Cebu for 3 nights and 3 days. We arrived at Mactan Cebu International Airport at like 7 in the evening and Departed from Cebu on October 1, 2017 at 5 in the morning. We went to many beautiful places but for this blog I will be sharing about a very beautiful temple named Temple of Leah.

Photo my friend took for me in front of the Temple. When we were at the Temple it was slightly raining and the fogs are really hard and that explains why my photo is like that hehe

On our second day in Cebu we first went to the Temple of Leah and I found out that this Temple is related to one of them famous Filipino Artist/Actress named Ellen Adarna. Because I was really curious I even searched it and found a Picture of Ellen Adarna with her mother in front of the Statue of Leah. Look at the photo below!

Screenshot and cropped this photo from www.instagram.com

These are some pictures I took when we were at the Temple.

All pictures are mine :)  

As I said when we were at the Temple it was slightly raining and the fogs are really hard and as you can see it is kinda visible in the pictures hehe

Brief History of the Temple of Leah

Temple is Leah was build way back year 2012. It was build as a symbol of Teodorico Soriano Adarna undying  and  ceaseless love and devotion to his Wife named Leah Villa Albino-Adarna that is why it is called Temple of Leah. As I said a while ago that the Famous Filipina Artist/Actress named Ellen Adarna is related to the Temple of Leah because Leah is Ellen's grandmother.

One Trivia is that inside the temple of Leah there is a Family Tree of the Adrana's so that  any Adarna can see or know where he or she came from or they could start tracing his or her roots. 

How to get to the Temple of Leah

We got to the Temple of Leah by Van, we actually rented a Van for 3 days exactly as how many days we will be staying at Cebu. So I asked my friend that lives in Cebu and she said that one can go to the temple of Leah from the City proper by riding a Taxi Cab and the price range will be from 250 pesos tp 350 pesos.

Entrance Fee in The Temple of Leah

Photo is mine

Screenshot this photo from one of the videos I took while we're at the temple. 

As you can see, the temple doesn't have any entrance fees but starting on October 3, 2015 they decided to take Entrance Fees to help Temple of Leah decay which means to provide money to pay the temples expenses.

In the photo above, The Entrance fee is 50 pesos per head and Senior Citizens and Children below 10 years old can enter the Temple for free.

Other Photos we took while at the Temple! :)

All photos are mine! :)

So this is where my 1st travel blog ends! Thank you for reading, Hope you enjoyed it and stay tuned for more hehe :D

you can come back when the weather is better and sunny so you'll have a view of Cebu City. The temple is not yet completed as well. I hope they'll get to finish it soon .. there's a library inside and a mini pyramid above...

Looks like a secret pinoy cult built it.
