Talk to your second wife to withdraw the case.

Good one!

if i were the prosecutor, i could still convict you without the wife.

get a lawyer to advise you in depth. explore possibility of pleading guilty so that punishment will be lower and you can apply for probation.

puede rin po ba ang "possibility of pleading guilty so that punishment will be lower and you can apply for probation" sa case under R.A. article 172? salamat po.

if you are referring to the revised penal code and falsification, then you don't even have to plead guilty. you can undergo trial and if convicted, only then apply for probation

@attyLLL Thank you for the reply sir...

@attyLLL

sir sorry to bother you, is it possible na pa withdraw yung bigamy case sa 2nd wife ko?

possible. but since bigamy is a public offense anyone can file bigamy agaist you.

@concepab

thanks sir, ano po ba ma i aadvise nyo sakin about this case? 1st time ko po kasi mag karoon ng kaso. thanks

her defense should be that she did not know you were married

Again this is depends upon situation, if marriages are both held in the same country, but if it is in different country, then it's a long process and will not prosper!

sir,

akala ko kung yung 2nd lang sa ibang country and hinde mag prosper??..what if sa ibang bansa yung 1st marriage pero registered pa rin sa NSO?? covered pa rin ba yun ng territory something kasi kahit sa iabgn bansa both amrriaegs pero registered asa nSO..wala lang din right?? or am i wrong again lol

Meron ako alam ito ang sagot sa tanong mo!
Meron Pinay sa Lebanon nagtrabaho sa British family as maid, yung British kasal sa UK sa Britsh at may 3 anak na lalaki sila. Matapos ang visa ng Asawa at mga anak n'ya pina uwi ang pamilya n'ya sa UK at pinakasalan ang Pinay nyang maid nung umuwi sila sa Pinas. As a result Nalaman ng British na babae ang tungkol dito so kinasuhan sila ng bigamy sa UK pero hindi nag prosper dahil sabi sa British Embassy hindi nila sakop ang Philippines jurisdiction at malakas ang humanitarian protection sa UK lalo na't may anak sa Pinay si Briton. Ang pinagtutuunan nila ng bigamy case eh yung mga nagpapa kasal ng ilang beses dahil nagpapabayad sila para lang makakuha ng citizenship.

In other words, bigamy is highly unlikely to prosper if the marriages are in a different country! Kapag kasal ka sa parehong Pinoy/Pinay doon ka madadali dahil both are under Philippines jurisdiction Kahit saang lupalop ka pa magpasakal! Kapag pumasok sa NSO at both subject are Filipino Citizen? Ayus ka dyan!

haunt, if the second wedding was held in philippine territory, then he can be charged with bigamy.

if both are registered in nso, there is yet no case that has confirmed that a bigamy case will prosper

atty,

Can 2nd wife(remarries again) if charged with bigamy use as defense that previous marriage was null and void ? Is it a proper defense for bigamy that previous marriage is null and void but not yet declared by court to be null and void.? thank you

if the second marriage was before 1988, then you can use that argument.

makakasuhan pa rin po ba ng bigamy kapag nagpakasal ulit kung ang unang kasal naman ay sa isang tao na gumamit lang ng alias o fake identity?

salamat po.

yes
