Not unless they change their citizenship.

I have known several people who for them it worked. Got divorce here and got married as well. But as you've said it will not be honored under Phil. law .
The one I'm talking is a seaman (jumped ship) on a transit visa only.

(Thank you Pete)

The point I am making is this: I can only give advice on the basis of the laws of each country, I am correct in saying that a Filipino may initiate a divorce petition in the UK, if married to a Filipino, but only if that petitioner is a British Citizen will it be recognized, if the petitioner is a UK Resident but is a Filipino Citizen, the Philippine Authorities will not recognize the divorce in the UK, if a Filipino in UK is divorced by her British husband, the Philippine Government will recognize the divorce, and she may re marry again with their blessing.

Obviously what I am saying here is people all over the world do things to curcumvent the laws of various countries, Filipinos are no strangers to that, but I cannot cover situations where laws are got around, only what those laws are. I hope that makes the position clear.
