I met my 3-year-boyfriend abroad and from the start of the relationship, I am fully aware that he got 1 child. When he went abroad, the child is not yet given birth and during his vacation to Phils. his daughther was baptised. The religion of the mother of his child is Protestant having a Pastor sister whom conducted the baptism. During the event, my boyfriend was asked to sign one paper telling him that it is necessary in their religion for the child to get his surname. This happened last January 2005.

January 2007, my boyfriend filed for a CENOMAR since we are planning to get married but unfortunately he was denied since his status in NSO office is MARRIED. He made application twice an still its denied.

When he confronted the mother of the child, she said that it was done because they were afraid about the negligence of the support to his daughter which since the child was given birth it never happened.

Is their MARRIAGE considered to be LEGAL??? Is there any way to cancel his marital status without any annulment to be undergone??? Or if not, what is the best thing for us to do to make the legal separation to be immediately done??

PLEASE HELP US... THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!
 
As per my knowledge, divorce is not yet implemented in the Philippines, only annulment or legal separation. Could you kindly advice us on the requirements for faster process of legal separation.
Thank you very much!
