Im sure if you married in the Philippines and divorced abroad it is not reconised here in the Philippines. Others will tell if im wrong.

You're wrong.

If you’re a Filipino national, it doesn’t matter where in the world you file for divorce (ie as the Petitioner), such divorce is not recognised as valid in the Philippines. Period.
(It should be be noted however that the reckoning point is not citizenship at the time of marriage, but the citizenship at the time a valid divorce is obtained abroad by the petitioner)

If a foreign national files for the divorce (ie as the Petitioner), and has given the Philippine spouse a registered copy of the final divorce decree, both foreign national and the Philippine spouse can remarry again within the legal boundaries of the Philippines.
The Filipino national must first comply with the procedure in having the foreign decree of divorce judicially recognized in the Philippines, then may validly remarry.

Thanks terpe...that is correct
I am also very mindful giving my advice on this issues..as we may all know we have to consider all the legalities ..there is "no divorce in the Ph" ...we need to know the citizenship of the OP at the time of divorce..we need to know who filed the petition..has it been granted..where did the first marriage took
place...any divorce decree been served...

Dear Mattluzon, can you Private message me? im in a similar situation to you that im previously married in the Philippines. Have my divorce here in the UK and will re-marry in the Philippines. Its very frustrating because different provinces and different people say different things. From what I understand is that I can re-marry in the Philippines. As long as the province that I will marry doesnt ask for a cenomar then the marriage license will be approved. Then can simply exchange it for the NSO marriage certificate after which will be valid at the british embassy. The issue with NSO records not being updated I guess is not my problem, and i guess it may be a problem if you wish to reside in the Philippines as may add complications. But if you bring your spouse to the UK it doesnt matter. Plus i think the petition for divorce is only applicable for the filipino national if they go back to the Philippines and want it recognised so they can remarry there. I think that is disregarded by the foreigner. But I would like to hear from you to just make sure 100%.. Can the moderators allow me to send private message? I think I dont have the ability to do that yet. Thanks
