I cant blame you if your dreaming of a better life with a better man but still your entire life is on hold. you want to start over, to have a happy marriage and happy life, but you cannot remarry until you are Annulled.
Annulment is simply a voided marriage. In the eyes of the Philippine government and the Catholic Church, an annulled marriage is a marriage that never really happened. It’s as if someone stepped into a time machine and traveled back in time and prevented the marriage from ever occurring. This is different from divorce, where everyone agrees there was a marriage, but that the divorce “ends” the marriage. Divorce terminates something that really existed – a marriage. Annulment points out that there never really was a marriage, thus there’s no need for divorce, and nothing to prevent the individuals in the annulled marriage from marrying again. Well, not exactly “again”, since the first marriage never happened, right? You get the idea.??
Grounds for annulment is stated in the Art 45 of the The Family Code of the Philippines

I'm afraid being separated from your spouse with or without communication is not grounds for annulment..it does not matter how many years you are separated. There is no law that annuls or void a marriage automatically''...Only a judge in a court of law can annul,void or nullify a marriage
Anyway,theres no point in suggesting a lawyer/solicitor if its far away from where the marriage took place(it wil be more expensive)...am sure theres one trusted solicitor near ya so just do a search hope this helps you
