Under this Articles provide that all marriages solemnized outside the Philippines in accordance with laws in force in the country where they were solemnized and valid there as such, shall also be valid in this country (Philippines), except those prohibited under art.35, 36, 37 and 38 of the code.
Where a marriage between a Filipino citizen and a foreigner is validly celebrated and a divorce is thereafter validly obtained abroad by the alien spouse capacitating him or her to remarry, the Filipino spouse shall likewise have capacity to remarry under Philippines law..E.O No. 227 dated July 17, 1987...art. 26
This rule applies lex loci celebrationis

Ahh. Hmm...
1) Looking forward to finding out what articles 35 to 38 are, and the things prohibited there. What article # is this that we are in now anyway?
2) This is referring to marriages solemnized outside the Philippines, yes? What if the marriage is solemnized in the Philippines? Can the foreigner still validly obtain a divorce later? Or is this dependent on where the marriage was solemnized?
3) What does 'lex loci celebrationis' mean?
