Is a "Common Law Marriage" valid in the Philippines? That is, is there any way a man and woman living together as man and wife can become considered married by the State without an official ceremony (assuming normal Christian/Western traditions, so no special regional customs to consider)?
E.g., In some states in the US, if a man and woman live together as man and wife and hold themselves out to be married, then in the eyes of the law, they are married despite never having a wedding.
