graham59 Posted January 12, 2019 Posted January 12, 2019 (edited) No. I remarried in the Phils in September 2015 (My previous marriage was also in the Phils). I needed ...as stated, the Affirmation from the British Embassy in Manila, plus my UK divorce certificate to show to the provincial Registrar. The embassy also gives you a covering letter to show to the less 'up to date' Filipino Registrars. You can find all of this info on the British Embassy (Manila) website. There is no requirement to either register a foreign divorce with the Phils authorities, or (under the new rules) to produce a CENOMAR. Your Filipino prospective bride needs to show a CENOMAR still, yes. Of course some ignorant provincial officials may seek to make up their own rules as they go along. It IS the Philippines after all. I experienced no difficulties whatsoever. ..and that was 3 YEARS AGO. Edited January 12, 2019 by graham59 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A car stopped outside and out came three very Beautiful Young girls and one OLD man with a cane. They helped him to the table and had their dinner. What surprised me about this event was that ALL of them seemed to have a VERY good time, they were talking, laughing and making jokes to each other and it was actually a good thing to see! It was so different from how it usually look when there is old guys with Young girls, the guys talk to other foreigners and the girl do fb on her phone ;) Sounds like one of them. I've had my eyes opened since here. I'm a good guy now but some of the girls I know used to regularly contact me and ask to go out for a meal with them. I knew this meant I'm buying but I had a good laugh and they were always trying to set me up with their friends. A few nights they'd stop over, no money would be exchanged and she'd cook breakfast, tidy the apartment and head off to work. What some need to realise is for some girls here it's all about survival by any means. Even bar girls have a heart, just don't trust them.

I was referring to whether courts here would consider any money given as marital property. I’m curious if you don’t mind my asking, how long were you two married before the Hogekins stuff started? Not long...... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The chances of you finding an honest Filipina who would give you the relationship you are looking for would likely increase if you raised that minimum age a bit. Just my opinion of course and my apologies if I have offended you in any way. NO offense taken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
