Hi,

You'll want to ensure your foreign divorce decree is recognized. In the Philippines, foreign divorce papers aren't always acknowledged. If you were married in the Philippines but divorced in another country, it's crucial to confirm with the Philippine Statistics Authority that your foreign divorce decree has been accepted.

But yes, what you are describing is how most US expats get around the divorce issue in the Philippines.
