ISSUE
WHETHER OR NOT THE FILIPINA WIFE CAN REMARRY
DISCUSSIONS
PLAINTIFF CAN REMARRY
-------------------------------------------Article 26, par. 2, allows a Filipino citizen divorced by a spouse to also
remarry, and its intent.
-------------------------------------------Plaintiff A is entitled to remarry, under the second paragraph of
Article 26 of The Family Code of the Philippines;
Where a marriage between a Filipino citizen and a foreigner is
validly celebrated and a divorce is thereafter validly obtained and a divorce
is thereafter validly obtained abroad by the alien spouse capacitating him
or her to remarry, the Filipino spouse shall likewise have capacity to
remarry under Philippine Law.
The intent of Paragraph 2 of Article 26 is to avoid the absurd
situation where the Filipino spouse remains married to the alien spouse
who, after obtaining a divorce, is no longer married to the Filipino
spouse.( Edgar San Luis vs. Felicidad San Luis, G.R. Nos. 133743 & 134029,
February 6, 2007; Republic of the Phil. vs. Cipriano Orbecido III, G.R. No. 154380,
October 5, 2005; Alice Reyes Van Dorn vs. Manuel V. Romillo, Jr., et al., G.R. No. L68470, October 8, 1985).
provided the Filipino spouse a substantive right to have his or her marriage
to the alien spouse considered as dissolved, capacitating him or her to
remarry. (Gerbert R. Corpuz vs. Daisylyn Tirol Sto. Tomas, et al., G.R. No. 186571,
August 11, 2010).
