Divorces obtained abroad do not need to be decreed by foreign courts in order to be recognized in the Philippines, the Supreme Court announced on Friday.In a statement, the SC said that courts in the country can recognize divorces obtained abroad, whether done through an administrative or legal process or by mutual agreement.“The Court held that the type of divorce, whether administrative or judicial, did not matter.
”According to the SC, the Filipina later filed a petition for the judicial recognition of the foreign divorce and for the declaration of her capacity to remarry before a regional trial court .The RTC granted the petition, but the ruling was contested by the Office of the Solicitor General .The OSG argued that only foreign divorce decrees issued by a court can be recognized in the Philippines.
