If the wife, still a filipino citizen divorce is valid in the Phils, as long as the foreign national is the one who file the divorce. What is not valid is, if the filipina have gained a foreign citizenship and she will be the one to file divorce. Then, they will still need to file annulment back in Phils but if she a dual citizen and foreign husband file divorce using the wife's filipino citizenship then divorce is valid.

Bottom line is... filipina ( it's either she is still a filipina or gained nationality ) if she will be the one to file divorced is not valid but if the foreign national is the one who file the divorce, it is valid.
