I believe there is a difference between the land and the property in Filipino law. I think you can own the property, but you can't own the land. As far as the land is concerned, I think it's classed as joint ownership if you are married to a Filipina but if you get divorced or the Filipina wife dies then you cannot own it in your own right or inherit it so it would go to her closest Filipino kin.
