According to Mr. Pham Quang Giao - a civil servant of the Son Bang Commune Department of Culture and Society, the locality highly appreciates the contribution of Mr. Pham Dinh Xat's family. In accordance with the wishes of the people, in the coming time, Nha Ong Temple will be restored on Mr. Xat's house area according to two options: rebuilding on-site or moving the temple from the Son Bang Commune People's Committee to its original location. However, the locality is leaning towards the relocation option. The land area donated by Mr. Xat is worth about 200 million VND.

Nha Ong Temple, also known as Truc Temple, is a spiritual structure with a long history in Son Bang commune. It worships Duc Ban Canh Thanh Hoang of Huu Bang village - a lucky god who protects the people. Legend has it that when he was alive, he had the merit of helping people protect the country, stabilize the country, and eliminate rebels.

Nha Ong Temple was restored and embellished during the Le Trung Hung period. The most recent restoration was in 1897, under the Nguyen Dynasty. The temple is a wooden house with elaborate wood carvings, bearing the architectural imprint of the 17th century. This wooden house is currently located in the premises of the People's Committee of Son Bang commune.
