The Philippines is the only country, aside from the Vatican, that has yet to enact a divorce law. A marriage involving Filipinos may only be dissolved through annulment.

A valid divorce obtained abroad in a marriage between a Filipino citizen and a foreign citizen may be recognized in the Philippines if it satisfies the requirements set by law, making them eligible for remarriage. This may be done through a petition for judicial recognition of foreign divorce decree in the Philippines.

It is important to engage the services of an experienced lawyer to help you accomplish the judicial recognition process. Get in touch for a consultation.

Do you need help in securing a new owner’s duplicate copy of your title?

Book a consult with our team by sending us a private message.

Employees in the Philippines are paid an extra compensation known as the 13th month pay, usually given at the end of the year. The 13th month pay rule was set by the government so that Filipino workers can "properly celebrate Christmas and New Year."

According to Presidential Decree No. 851, all rank-and-file workers who have been employed by a company for at least one month are entitled to a 13th month pay, regardless of the nature of their employment or how they get their pay.

Droit de Suite is the French term for “resale right”, or the right of artists or their heirs to receive a share from the resale value of their work in case of a subsequent sale or lease. It is not uncommon for the value of an artist’s work to increase over time and for that work to be sold again or leased, and as trade increases for each artwork, the artist shall remain compensated throughout time. This means that as the art value goes up, the artist may continue to reap benefits from his or her work.

Check out out the article linked in our bio to know more about resale rights in the Philippines.
