Bonsoir Madame Francesca, ca va ? just to let you know, Gina and i just got back from Paris, as always we enjoyed our little peice of French Culture !, but to answer your post, yes if a Filipino wants a quick out of a marriage, they must be a citizen of another country where divorce is legalized, under that countries laws, say in EEC, however if the Filipino citizen instigated the divorce, they cannot re-marry in the Philippines, they can only do this, if at least one of the parties is a foreigner, in other words, if the divorce was instigated by the foreign spouse, under their countries own laws, then the Filipino citizen is recognized as divorced and annulled under Philippine law, and they can re-marry under Philippine law, but the spouse who is Filipino must not instigate a divorce in a foreign country, if they do so, the Philippine Embassy in that country does not have to change their name to that of the male spouse.

Au Revoir...
