I was married in the Phils and marriage broke down after I gained my citizenship. Rang my solicitor friends back home and they said divorced is valid in the Phils, if, the foreign national will be the one to file divorced. I have the second opinion from the solicitor in Makati that specializes annulment and said he same thing. Then, I asked them if we still need to file annulment back in Phils and they told me no need for us to that, coz divorce is VALID as long as the foreign national will be the one to file divorce against the filipina wife. So, everyone can REMARRY AGAIN.
Yes, and the filipina's citizenship matters a lot. She must gain her British nationality first before divorce otherwise, she stays married in the philippines.
