Medyo mahaba ate ang letter mo, parang pang lovingly yours Helen.

Anyways po, hindi ko na tinapos dahil mukang kagaya din ng ibang case ang kakamantungan. Bilang legal wife po, nasa iyo ang lahat ng karapatan sa asawa. May karapatan kayo ng mga anak from moral support, love and caring and financial support from your husband. ngayon po try to decide kung ano po ang gusto mo mangyari sa asawa mo? gusto mo ba siyang makulong or gusto mo gapanan nya ang tungkulin nya suportahan kayo ng anak mo.

Kung hahabulin mo po ang kaso ng conccubinage or bigamy, kailangan mo po ng matibay na ebidensya and since limited ang resources mo at nasa ibang bansa sila. IMO, mahirap mapatunayan. Ang maipapayo ate ay sampahan mo ng kaso RA9262. psychological, emotional and financials abuse. mas maganda yung kasi mas mahaba ang kulong kumpanara sa concubinage.

Subukan mo ate na lumapit sa POA baka maka-kuha ka ng libreng legal service. May mga law colleges din na nabibigay ng libreng legal service. tyagaan nga lang at pakiusapan kasi mga busy din ang mga tao dun.

Good luck po.

go go go concepab... your on the right track...

You forgotten to ask if the husband still goes back to the Philippines since he already have documentation in Japan which only means he managed somehow to become Japanese citizen.

http://www.moj.go.jp/ENGLISH/information/tnl-01.html

Article 7
The Minister of Justice may permit the naturalization of an alien who is the spouse of a Japanese national notwithstanding that the said alien does not fulfill the conditions set forth in items (1) and (2) of paragraph 1 of Article 5, if the said alien has had a domicile or residence in Japan for three consecutive years or more and is presently domiciled in Japan. The same rule shall apply in the case where an alien who is the spouse of a Japanese national has been married with the Japanese national for three years or more and has had a domicile in Japan for one consecutive year or more.

Somebody has to dig in his record from the Japanese side that his marriage is null and void with the Japanese woman because he is already married in the Philippines. He must have declared he is single at the time that's is the reason why he managed to marry the Japanese woman.
You will need a private investigator who can act on your behalf or do it yourself to chase after him in Japan. Because the falsification happens outside Philippines jurisdiction but will have a chance to get him under Japan's jurisdictions. This is the only way you can go about it! Otherwise suing him under Philippines jurisdiction has no standing.

Remember Gabby Concepcion's case? He is already married in America when he marries Sharon Cuneta and his first wife's driver reported his marriage in the Philippines and they arrested Gabby Concepcion when he went home because the second marriage which is bigamous happens in the Philippines. But in the end he was actually acquitted.

I agree, but as just like what i said; concubinage or bigamy is quite difficult to pursue because of some reason, that is why i recommended RA9262.

With the case of Rose and her hubby, nauna silang ikasal sa pinas bago pa ang kasal with the  Japanese girl. And if my memory serves me right, maaring invalid ang kasal ni lalaki sa Japanese girl because of the main requirement from the side of the Pinoy; the legal capacity to get married. (this is base on my experience. ilang Japanese at Pinay/Pinoy na din ang nilakad ko ang kasal). IMO, fake ang mga documents na ipinasa ni lalaki sa Japan kaya sila naikasal ni Girly Japanesa. In this case, i strongly see RA9262 as the most appropriate case. plus if possible, falsification of public documents.

I hope our lawyers here can share their opinions as well, in this particular case.

That's if the husband still goes back the Philippines, then she might have a chance to file a case RA9262 but if he already obtained Japanese citizenship, She needs to chase after him in Japan because the bigamous marriage happen in Japan not in the Philippines. If he were married twice in the Philippines then he is in for bigamy case otherwise the bigamous happens in Japan and its under Japan jurisdictions.

As I've said, because of some complication, RA9262 is the most appropriate. And she can file it even if the husband is in Japan.

When is comes to bigamy, saying that the husband cannot be prosecuted because the bigamous marriage happened in Japan, well, that is the long belief. As far as i know even the Supreme court have not yet decided if that argument is correct.

IMO, considering the elements of the crime, being legally married in Philippines, that alone already made the husband liable for bigamy. if not because of that marriage, his marriage in Japan will be valid in Philippines. We should also consider the fact that the crime was committed when he is still a Filipino citizen.

The case of Gabby did not reached Supreme Court.

But you have to consider her situation she has NO MONEY, in order to chase after her arsehole husband she should have enough money to sue him! I doubt PAO will even spend time with her. And she should get hold of his marriage certificate from Japan to use as an evidence for bigamy. If you know the jurisdistion, Japan is outside Philippines jurisdication. This things are not easy to prove unless she go to Japan and sort it out herself, that's if she knows where he is exactly residing, otherwise she's like searching needle in the middle of the forest!
The second live-in partner who has been in Japan cannot go back neither because she is already black listed in Japanese immigration.
I work abroad pretty much been in many places and I know so many Filipino/Filipina who are married back home and also married where they are living! They don't go back to Philippines anymore for decade. The Philippine Embassy cannot help them unless they hire an investigator and send their lawyer to represent them outside Philippines. BUT ONLY RICH PEOPLE CAN DO THIS!!! Otherwise, she can keep her case open in the Philippines until he returns, that is if she has enough evidence to nail him then the case might prosper.

Also we cannot assume that his marriage to the Japanese woman is null and void, this is only under Philippines jurisdictions if he is married twice in the Philippines the second marrriage is regarded as NULL and VOID! We have different law to other country all together. It maybe null and void in the Philippines jurisdictions but not in another counrty's jurisdictions.

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conflict_of_marriage_laws

In some countries, the registration of a marriage means that it cannot later be declared invalid, since it has been accepted by the government. In Taiwan, which follows a variation of the Napoleonic Code (received by way of Japan), the presumption is that each country maintains a central registry of its citizens, including their marital status. If a Taiwan citizen marries in another country, however, this information may not find its way into the records. Many thousands of ROC soldiers who came to Taiwan in 1949 left behind wives in mainland China, but married local Taiwanese women. Since the two polities did not share records, the result was a pattern of legally recognized second marriages, despite the ban on polygamy by both sides of the Taiwan Strait. Today, foreigners wishing to marry Taiwan citizens must present letters from their countries' representative offices testifying that they are not already married (CENOMAR). (Of course a determined bigamist might marry in some third country.) In the case of countries which lack centralized family records (such as the USA), a notarized affidavit is accepted.

As i've said, again, my opinion is, because of some complication, she should proceed with RA9262 instead of concubinage and/or bigamy. I ‘am fully aware of the complexity of that kind of bigamous marriage – however my stands is firm.

RA9262 will only move forward if the accused is in the country, otherwise the case will remain pending because the accused is no where to find unless she knows his exact address in Japan so they can send the copy of the demand to him! Otherwise, how can she chase after him?

So true! even here in the US there are lots of foreigners who are married back in their country and not all of them can be sued for maintenance because they can't afford to, they cannot chase after them abroad and in the states they do not get involve in a case outside their jurisdiction not unless its about terrorism.
