“The Court held that the type of divorce, whether administrative or judicial, did not matter. As long as the divorce is valid under the foreign spouse’s national law, it will be recognized in the Philippines for the Filipino spouse,” the High Court said. After their failed marriage, Ng and her Japanese husband secured a “divorce decree by mutual agreement” in Japan. The separation was acknowledged by a divorce certificate issued by the Japanese embassy in the Philippines.
However, Ng failed to submit to the RTC an authenticated copy of the Japanese law on the divorce. Revised Rules on Evidence rule 132, sections 24 and 25 state that public documents of other countries must be proven through official publication or copies attested by the legal custodian of the documents.
