Pea, you know I love you unconditionally. I do. But, something came up! I am so, so sorry Pea! I cannot forget the situation in Ukraine! Pea, there are babies dying from Russian bullets and bombs. Some countries like the UK respond perfectly! Boris Johnson said it clear! Putler has done enough evil! For me, there is no other end to this war, if we cannot drag Putler out of a Pit and hang him. Just like Saddam!
You're the best Pea thank you for putting me on.
Great video, Pea! Please ask Gracey if it’s legal to make a prenup where, if my Filipina wife betrays me, I can push her into Mt. Kanlaon! 👐 👩 🌋 😂 ✌️
Hallo Pea and Gracey 😊. I think I will just stay MGTOW lol 😆😂
Hi pea👋..I'm one of your watcher and my bf too🥰..
I have a question hope you notice me...
"MY question is my bf is planning to come in the Philippines this coming December to me marry me .He is Estonian and there is no
Estonian embassy in Philippines ..
so can you give me advice where we get legal capacity...
I look how to apply visa then I seen that it can be get in DENMARK EMBASSY...
so he can get legal capacity to DENMARK EMBASSY TOO??..
thank you ❤❤
As a divorce survivor I implore everybody to get a pre-nup. Twenty-five years with a woman that I would have trusted with my life went out the window in the ugliness that is divorce. I am now much poorer but much wiser. Now, a pre-nup is an absolute requirement. And yes, I would consider getting married again ... if she signs the pre-nup.
Not just a pre-nup. Put all your assets into a trust. She marries you, not the trust.
A divorce survivor to a Filipina or a modernized western woman? Big rule is to NEVER marry a westernized woman
Truth
Pre-nups can be thrown out, just don't marry
I got a friend who is getting married soon; him and his wife wants to sign away their right to remarrying, would this hold up in court?
I married my asawa in the Philippines and after getting all of the paperwork and many of them.It was the best thing I have ever done.We have been married now for 8 years and been together for 10 years.And I love my wife more and more.And I love to watch the Filipina Pea.
Happy for you both.Congrats
I'm happy for you both. I hope it works out for me. I'm trying hard to find someone genuine with good character.
I was once a romantic that felt A prenuptial agreement was a way of saying I can't trust you and I would never want my wife to think that. Now it's easy to see that people change. She couldn't be trusted and I'm divorced. I never divorced the woman I married. I divorced the woman she became. A prenup is a necessity in this day and age.
Truth. If we look at Sternberg's triangle, most marriages are not romantic love based on the part of the female, only commitment. So, it's rarely going to last and if it does it's just gender roles. It amazes me how many low value men go overseas to find a bride not realizing money can't buy love. Peace.
I’m married to a Filipino and looked into a prenup before getting married and so I spoke to a solicitor…….He basically said that if you plan on having children the prenup agreement actually becomes null and void because a court will always look towards the child being taken care of…
@@RandomAsh71 Wow.. interesting
I too am a young dumbass. And like a bad dream I woke up to the nightmare of a life I created. I realized that I was suffering to the point of suicidal thoughts while this woman 10 years older then me weakens and devalue me. Idk if it's a religious thing but I know if I get my self together then burn my fuses I can get thru this divorce and everything it going to burn me with.
I divorcied the woman she become, and the man who become. This is the real description of failure marriage
There was a packed classroom in Ozamiz. It lasted 3.5 hours.
The first speaker was a Priest, explaining the Church's view on marraige. Then 2 other speakers explained the Philippines views on marraige.
We ended up going to Aurora city hall to get married by the Mayor, because Ozamiz was booked solid and we were given lottery tickets to get a date.
The unexpected change to marry in Aurora, Del Sur was a pleasant surprise because my Filipina wife was born in Aurora.
I need to give a shout out to Marlene, the city hall manager, because the complexity of having a westerner marrying a Filipina in the Philippines was overwhelming with required documents.
Thank- you Marlene.
The wedding ceremony was storybook like. I am so happy I married a province girl from Balas, a fishing village in Aurora.
Gracelyn says a lot of important things. "The brain and the heart should work together" "don't sign the prenup if you want his money" "sign the prenup if you want him, you're not going to lose anything"
When I married my asawa she was 27. A lot of the requirements needed, her father and uncles help as they new people in the right places to get stuff done. I would encourage anyone getting married to a Filipina to enlist the help of the family.
I have binged at least 30 of your videos. I have been vacationing in the Philippines for 10 years and just found my future wife. The amount of information I didn't know, I have found on your channel in two weeks. I feel like Neo from the Matrix downloading tons of insight. Thank you for being bridging the gap for logic and culture in the P.I. for me.
I'm coming to marry my fiancé in the Philippines next year. I'm so excited, she's the greatest woman onnthe planet!
Dude there is no way you could possibly know that. Have you met every woman on the planet?
@@krakerjak3 The handle is nut all. That answer your question?
In some parts of the US (eleven states), we have "common law marriage", where you're considered to be married if you held yourself out to the world as if you were husband and wife and cohabitated. According to my research, there is such a thing as "common law marriage" under Article 147 of the Family Code. In the future, I'd like to hear Gracey speak on common law marriage (how it arises and what the legal implications are).
The per- marriage consulting is a catholic thing. This is used to bring out topics such as children or not - finance - where they will live (in the US or in Philippines) and other important topics. It's a good thing to go through.
Agreed. The prettiest lawyer iv ever seen.
I LOVE Gracie because she's so honest and straight forward and wants to protect us foreigners! I will be using her for my legal advisor and attorney if needed when I come to your country.
After watching this video, I am going to have to rethink getting married in the Phils.🤔
Great video and advice...signing a prenup is certainly necessary in this day of age because just like the ladies said, its to protect what you work hard for. If a woman refuses to sign the prenup , then no marriage..Plus at that point I wouldnt be able to help but to question her real intentions
Gracey is much more than physically 'pretty'. From seeing the other 'desk-side', 'fire-side' and 'pool-side' sessions with Pea, she is a Beautiful Soul with a sharp mind and an eye for Principles-Based fair representations and outcomes. She is Grace by name and Gracious by nature. 🤗🤗
As an American who was married here, my wife had to get proof from the PSA that she was single, but I never got anything from them. I just provided an affidavit of eligibility notarized by embassy people. I don't recall ever providing a birth certificate; of course I had to provide a passport with valid visa and entry.
Seems like you would not need a Birth Certificate considering you had to have one to get the Damn Passport. However, you don't know who you will deal with in that situation. You got it, might as well bring it.
I got married to a Filipina in her place and something that neither one of us knew is that apparently the foreigner spouse to be is supposed to get a Cenomar also. Some cities in the Philippines will not accept the affidavit from the U.S. Embassy. A Cenomar is simply a document from the Philippine Statistical Agency that neither party to the marriage has ever married in the Philippines before.
same here ... just the paper from the embassy
your wife probably got t for you without you knowing. Its pretty standard and each step after that will want to see it. we even had to show document that we used to get document for another document for them to accept the last document that we couldnt have got without the first document they wanted. welcome to the phillipines
No matter how hard I try I seem to be sinking into the quick sand of finding my Filipina life partner, so this video will come in quite handy when I make the mistake and take the plunge. Thank you for your efforts.
Why is it a mistake you ask? Simple. I believe she deserves better than me. 😉
Two beauties in one vlog, lucky me! The yellow looks great on you Pea and thank you for bringing Gracie to share her knowledge with us. We always forget the details when we are swept up in romance, hormones and emotion but you always give us the honest truth. Take care.
Nothing but the truth - always 👍❤️😊
Pea just look marvelous in yellow or any other color actually..

th-cam.com/video/QtEkM46BA-0/w-d-xo.html
Oh yea
You do the Pokey Hokey and you shake it all about!
My dad was a Presbyterian pastor. He always required any couple to have a "Premarital Counseling" session with him before he would perform the wedding.
I'm glad the question period during the seminars are informal. I'd prefer not to take a written test, especially with multiple choice questions about the wedding night.
Hahahahaha
But at least all the answers are correct on that question 😂
Hello Pea you look gorgeous and another great video. We where married 4 years ago my wife had never been married before yes she had to prove that and I had to provide my divorce paperwork and regular stuff that you would expect to deal with it’s not complicated. The seminar was kinda funny to be honest. Family and friends all together we celebrated my 50th birthday and our wedding wow amazing. A good Filipino woman is worth every second they will make you a better person by far .
Wow lot of embassy work and government hoops to jump through. I married my filipina in Las Vegas. Super easy but afterwards acquiring the proper visa and green card was a pain. Tons of paperwork. Afterward the immigration office told us we were supposed to have a fiancé visa instead of a tourist visa but it was too late so they had to give her the proper visa. Great to let guys know what to expect Miss Pea. Guys get a prenup.
Thanks for sharing that, Arnold, and your last words were important 👍
You backdoor'ed the system. The proper channel is through a K-1. It's a grey area, but you did the right thing. Paperwork takes much longer if you marry her there.
I just recently came across your channel and subscribed, i am one in the Philippines today and in a relationship with a Filipina for 8 months now, i like your content very informative and educative,. I want to hear Filipina view on marrying black from Africa
Thanks for finding my channel 😊❤️
Not getting married but it was very interesting...as always I enjoyed it.lots of info...and yes yellow does look on you
Even if you don’t need the info, at least you can hang out with us for a bit ❤️👍
@@TheFilipinaPea I enjoy hanging out with you...the info not only applies to the filipines. Other countries also...like the one I'm planning to move to. Guatemala..which I'm going back in July. To start building a house
Yeah, Gracelyn is a very beautiful woman and definitely one of the most attractive female lawyers I've seen.
Prenups should be talked about right after marriage is proposed (or even before so as not to kill the vibe). Make sure your future spouse knows that is a non-negotiable issue.
Great video, Pea. Thanks for bringing Gracey on to explain things!
It took my wife and I six weeks. But it was all day every day 6 days a week to get married here. I literally made a spread sheet to keep track of everything. The highlight was the test we had to take and its crazy questions.
It’s (not) more fun in the Philippines 😂👍
@@TheFilipinaPea IDK, the Q's were pretty hilarious. So basically you have to get 100% on the test to pass. All the correct answers are YES. Two questions I remember are 1. If ANY of her relatives ask for money you will give, right? 2. You will give your wife foreplay to get her wet first and not just stick it dry, right? All the Q's are in Cebuano and this was the lady interpreting it to the best of her ability. It was hilarious and embarrassing for all 3 of us.
@@airwess3369 I think k I will make it a point to marry my future wife?....here in the US.....seems there's a bitt TOO much "Red Tape" over there!!.??? And seeing as I have Ministers and Reverends in my family?...getting our Marriage certificate will be a piece of cake!!
@@airwess3369 wait they actually had those questions?🤣
@@airwess3369 weird & hilarious af
Pea yellow is definitely your colour. However navy blue is my colour. It shows off my whiteness.
Yes it would 😂
Pea thank you so much for bringing your videos forward an hour - it does make a difference and is appreciated.
No problem, Ian! I try to keep up with your time changes (we don’t have them here)
@@TheFilipinaPea our silly time change is becoming less and less popular. It may soon be gone
Great video Pea, both you and Grace look much younger than 30! For myself don't marry someone under 28 lol, not within the Catholic church and definitely have a pre-nup signed. And before I forget really get to know one another, that's the biggest advice for a successful marriage. Grace is 100% right there.
Hi Pea, I was married in the Philippines in 2017 and listening to Gracie there was 1 step that I didn't do. As a divorced UK man I completed the requirements at the UK embassy in Manila (birth certificate, 1st marriage certificate and divorce certificate, passport etc) to prove I wasn't married and was granted a certificate to state I was free to marry, but I didn't get a Cenomar from the National Statistics Office as it wasn't mentioned on the UK government website. We then attended a seminar as you described which as an older couple (I was 51 and my wife was 46) was funny / embarrassing with all the younger couples there looking at us as we already had children from previous partners, then we went to the local Barangay in Cavite and completed all the forms there including the 10 day wait for the forms to be processed and also completed all the requirements at the local church before the wedding. After the wedding we took the certificate from the church to the Barangay to process the licence which we have. My question is, is my marriage still legal without the Cenomar on my part (my wife had her Cenomar as she had not been previously married). If you could ask Gracie on my behalf it would be really appreciated. Keep up the good work on your channel, I always find the info you provide very useful and accurate.
The Cenomar means certificate of no marriage. So if you've been married before you do not get one. You provide proof of being Divorced. If you have a marriage certificate from the PSA, you're good 👍.
I’m not an attorney of course, but I feel safe to say your marriage is probably fine - if you got the marriage certificate /license, you’re okay 👍
@@TheFilipinaPea Thanks for the reply Pea, it was just when Gracie said about the foreigner had to get a Cenomar to prove that I wasn't married to another Filipino (as well as the certificate stating that I was free to marry from the UK embassy), that had me confused. For the record my wife is the only one, As I stated we did get the marriage certificate from the Barangay a couple of days after the wedding so I guess all is good. Thanks for putting my mind at peace, you hear of so many stories in the philippines of foreigners been duped.
@Shane Porter As a Catholic its against my beliefs to behave in such a way.
@@airwess3369 That's exactly what I thought what a Cenomar is, and yes I do have the certificate from the PSA, thanks for confirming what I originally thought.
The process was just so easy when you have all requirements but crazy attending the counseling, it was via Zoom. It was basically discussing about family planning, it is crazy because people attending seem not interested, hahaha.
Well, we get the license but we didn’t get married,,but I love him so much he is really nice guy but it is just didn’t work because of differences..Goodluck to guys who will be marrying soon😘
Good advice! Thing is I love weddings...when they aren't mine...
Hahahahaha
That’s the way I feel about kids, yes 😂
great timely video as the wedding season is coming into full bloom. Guys get your ducks in line, go for it, take the advice of both ladies and get that prenup! Pinays be upfront and honest, that's the best way to save face and your foreign guy will thank you for the rest of your lives!
Hey Pea , my fiancé and I were going through this procedure today “PSA”., what a zoo at a City Hall. Please be patient foreigners/expats. Easier going through the Drive Through window for a Marriage in Las Vegas Nevada that’s for sure. I’ll skip the tricycle ride on some of the back streets in Pasig City next time. My fiancé had to laugh we were talking about just this same topic prenup last night before this video was posted. No worries people if the Filipino really loves you it’s a signed Deal, the prenup that is. I’m loving life in the Philippines.
So you’re getting the prenup? Congrats! ❤️😂
I love when you have Gracelyn on Pea. You two make a great team and interview. Both are beautiful as well.
Pea, you look absolutely beautiful in any color. Definitely good advice, and one that every man should follow regardless if he's Filipino, or an expat
Thanks Robert! It’s how we do it here 👍😊
Hi Pea my wife and were married both in the Philippines and at our church in the US. Getting married in the Philippines wasn't anything difficult to do just a learning process for all the requirements. Getting married at a Catholic church has it's own process. This all started out to get our son baptized which we started 3 months before he was born. We talked to the priest and he reocommended that my wife get baptized at the same time. The class for our sons baptism was a 4 hour seminar on a Saturday. My wifes had to attend RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults) which took 6 months of weekly classes. Because my wife had been in country less than a year I attended the classes as well because she was still working on her English. Also before she could get baptized we had to get married in the church which was more classes and going on a weekend retreat at the seminary. This all took about 8 months. What made this even more interesting we started this after my wife spent her first six months going back to school to get her high school diploma. Her surprise was she was able to attend school while pregnant. Unlike her high school in the Philippines when the girls have to drop out.
SIX MONTHS of classes??? 😳
Thank you for all your videos. You seem to have a video in almost every category I can think of 😊
THANKS! That’s what I try to do, so I can be your one-stop shop channel 👍❤️😊
Hello Pea, of course, you look fabulous in yellow...............too 🤭😍. Gracie does look beautiful and she is always both interesting and funny. Thank you for a great vlog. ❤❤❤
We’re the dynamic Dumaguete duo 😂👍
@@TheFilipinaPea Hehehe, I want to see your car DDD 🤣😂🚙
Well that was very interesting. Always nice to see Gracie she is very good at explaining legal things. Seems like a complicated procedure to go through to get married. I have been married 2 times and did not work out either time. I would live with someone but don't think I would ever get married again. You are right the yellow shows off your tan so nice you looks absolutely stunning. Keep smiling and stay safe
The tan definitely looks perfect with yellow! 👍
But, first you need the look and the personality to carry it ! 😃
I’ll get to work on that, Guy 😂👍
@@TheFilipinaPea fishing for compliments! 😅
You know you’ve got IT! 💪👍
the pea videos are always on time. great to see your channel growing my friend! very proud of you!

How can I marry the Filipina I love? Pea has a boyfriend and Gracie is married. The best ones are taken!
Don't have a defeatist mentality bro. There are good women out there. Look for feminine women. Can't go wrong.
We are everywhere 👍😂
hi pea i have to say you have the best informative site of any Philippine vlog, i have watched hundreds over the last few months since coming across Filipina pea and learnt a lot about your country the good and the bad and i find it very interesting, when i make comments on your subject matter or persons being interviewed its about that and NOT AT YOU PERSONALLY, i think its healthy to ask questions even disagree on some things its the way we learn
You look amazing in the wedding dress, Pea! Love it!
Thanks! It’s actually the first one I’ve ever tried on! 👍❤️
@@TheFilipinaPea where is this picture of you in the wedding dress? Don't see it on the TH-cam video post.
Ahh yes, finally it's Tuesday, and bingo, here they are. Glad to see you again with one of my favorite guests.
Thanks Bob! I’ll be back with more favorites 👍😂
Thank you pea and gracey for orient us on what look for (paper work wise) and plus the lectures or seminar , and the prenup. Great advice , and yes pea i agree you must add your power points that would cool.
Thank you, gracie and pea may both of ypu have a bless week🇵🇷🇵🇭
I’ll start working on the presentation 😂
A fellow Boricua?! Personally I’d love to marry a woman from the island 🇵🇷 but western values have corrupted a lot of the women. Philippines is similar in a lot of ways.
Always a pleasure to have our favorite attorney visit the site :)
Great segment Pea. I really appreciate Gracelyn's advice on preparation for marriage to my Filipina..due to the perspective of my age, and my Filipinas age I can understand the shock value in what is needed, but knowing this information lessens that shock which will occur from loss of time and time wasted due to cultural ignorance. My suggestions would be for people to research and understand prenuptial documents regarding their future together. I hope subscribers and viewers look further into their relationships and future plans using this valuable advice.
Thanks Tony - and I agree 👍😊
Thanks pea. I’m learning stuff about my filipina monthly.
Marriage is good for someone that plans to have a family. Otherwise stay single. Play the field. Keep your emotions in check. Don’t get hurt.
If not get lawyers involved and a prenuptial. legal representation for both parties
So sad you are
brother, you have been hurt....i was married, but i am friends with my ex....it is not as bad as you make it out to be....please heal and recover....
I got married in the USA but not philippines - that works out better - just got an SRRV visa so I didn't need to depend on a sponsor for my visa
@@gingercat777 I’m actually pretty happy. Happier yet that the gal living with my brother the past nine years moved out. She was never happy. Always needy. They argued constantly. Both were not happy. Finally she moved out of his house. Awesome.
Great info! You can now have a notary prepare and notarize your capacity to marry. The US embassy no longer issues the "In Lieu of" document. Of course, it may be different in other regions. So happy to be here with my beautiful wife after being apart for so long!
True i am in catbalogan samar. Went to psa to prove i never been married in philippines but municipality still will ask you paper from usa manila embassy legal capacity to marry. There is a memorandum to go around that process. Go to a lawyer and asked to notarized affidavit.
I'm Catholic, and my ex-wife and I had to complete "Marriage Prep" classes before we married. It was 8 hours of classes and about 20 minutes talking with the priest. Some of it was helpful, most was boring. This was in the early 90's...not sure if they still require this. Haven't been to church in a looong time..😏
EIGHT HOURS? Holy c___! 😂
What possible advice could a Catholic priest give to people who are about to be married. How to abuse the children and keep them quiet?
@@kevinbarry71
They give the children advice not to talk about the pedophile actions they do to the kids
That is the only advice they can give
The game of the Catholic church is over everyone know what they are up to
The biggest criminal and pedophile organisation in the world
The only one that gets away with these crimes agains children
@@kevinbarry71 I can't believe in this day of information that people still have this twisted view.
They do. One of my nieces just got married in the Catholic Church and they had to do that.
For those wondering how it's spelled he's a little clip from Chat GPT. "The document you're referring to is likely the Certificate of No Marriage Record, often called a CENOMAR, in the Philippines. It’s issued by the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA), and it's used to prove that a person has never been married."
What if you where married to a Filipina in the Philippines but when you brought her to your country later you divorced her so how does this work if your now wanting to marry another Filipina in the Philippines can it be done?
You can, but you have to get the first marriage annulled first (long time, big bucks) 😳
@@TheFilipinaPea so I can’t bring my divorce decree to the Philippine to show I’m already divorced
@@bruce2535josie you only get one Filipina to screw it up with.
@@bruce2535josie depends if your ex wife became a citizen of your country. If not then your still married in the Philippines, since there is no divorce here currently. Only option is annulment which is costly and takes a long time.
You can file divorced in your country and go to philippines and recognized your divorce and your free to marry or else get marry in other country like hongkong ,simple as that ..
Thanks Pea! But too late! haha we were married March 21 during my trip there! 🥳 Now just trying to get her over here in OZ 🤔
Getting married is still not a good idea even if you sign a pre nup.
There is just no benefits for men to get married.
But women just keep trying to convince men otherwise..
Hello pea
Another great video.
Looking beautiful as always. Before marrying a Filipina every one should remember divorce is not a common practice in Philippines.
Stay safe
Won't be marrying a Filipina (or anything else) in this lifetime, so this vid doesn't apply to me, but I'm watching anyway. A Pea & Gracie collab is always eye opening & entertaining 👀 Romance is for teenagers who grew up on Disney fairy tales, not full grown adults
What on earth are you talking about?
Just root them.
@@dj4monie hopefully one day you'll understand
Enjoy being miseeable
@@dj4monie he is saying marry them is all. Why take the risk. Her family will be an anchor around your neck.
Always this Attorney Brings Useful Information to the Table 🙂
Me and my Filipina angel are together for 8 years and We are not married. We can do it any time or next year or after 30 years. Marriage is not most important. Most important is to be together and love each other.
❤️❤️❤️
I completely agree. Growing together is the only way to have an happy life with someone, not papers...
What you are describing Jesus and the Church call “fornication/adultery.” This is a mortal sin.
Is she still legally married to another like most are?
Sorry but it makes a BiG difference!
Gracie and Pea both looking extra pretty today
Also remember Pea, the validity of the pre-nup is ultimately limited by the laws of the legal jurisdiction where the marriage is dissolved. Some States (Community Property) look less favorably on pre-nups because of the disparity in wealth and assets between foreigner and Filipina the fact that your spouse had a lawyer to counsel her prior to executing the document the reality is the lawyer was paid by the husband and can therefore be consider more beholding to him than the wife. This is all dependent on the laws in place in the location where the divorce is filed and rarely those of where the marriage was because we both know the Philippines doesn't even have divorce. My recommendation, be kind, loving, and supportive to your Filipina spouse. Not every relationship will work out but ALWAYS get a province (strongly support Visaya) girl and if you do the three things I mentioned earlier even if it doesn't work out her pride will protect you from losing everything because she will have a better life thanks to you.
I agree. Gracelyn is very pretty... and with an enormous brain too! What a lucky husband.
He is indeed! 😊👍
"Hello Gracie. Pea and I need a pre-nup." Gracie to Pea in the local dialect "So Pea how much do you want to take this foreigner for?" Pea replies to Gracie in the local dialect "EVERYTHING" Gracie to Pea "OH, I can do that!!!!" Pea to me "Honey I will love you forever!!!!"🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hahahahaha
Except …. I will always insist on a prenup so my future husband never has to worry about that 😂
You know what's funny? I'm beginning to understand Waray and tagalog pretty well. And that's one thing I've heard is...oh no, now he'll know what we're saying.
Wow! That yellow dress is awesome!
Easier to just have a girlfriend, some of the best girlfriends I ever had was already married 😅
Hahahahaha
Thanks for another timely video, the Most Beautiful TH-cam Vlogger and the Prettiest Attorney in Dumaguete. I took notes. I'll show them to you.
Don't do it guys!
I agree - unless you have an iron clad prenup, which is available in the Philippines. So what are you actually risking? No one can stop you from just leaving the country and getting a quick divorce 👍
@@TheFilipinaPea what are risking? Wrong question, what are you gaining?
this was a great video and good learning tool as i am about to embark on this journey with my Filipina partner in August this year. she is a province girl but lives close to Manila now and one of the most caring and loving person i have ever met
One word of advice to getting married in the Philippines. This goes out to everyone in the Philippines.
DO NOT EVER GET MARRIED in the Philippines.
Until the country joins literally the rest of the world and legalizes divorce, just live together or travel outside the country to marry so at least if things go bad, you might be able to get a tourist divorce in Guam.
The only way both the intractable Philippine government and the Catholic Church is forced to change if Filipinos en masse stop getting married at all or in the country.
And get a pre-nup. Better yet, just spin plates. Peace.
Divorce and remarriage is a sin in the eyes of the Church; this will not change as it is God's law.
Yes l completely agree. If the marriage doesn't work out .. your only option is annulment and that's a very painfully slow road. My fiancee is currently 5 years into her annulment. Take your gf to Thailand or somewhere else and get married.
Who the fuck cares if divorce is legal or not? All you need is common sense to marry someone good.
Yes Pea protect your self. Gracie is beautiful and smart.
Pea like always informative and fun, Gracy isn't just the prettiest lawyer but also one of the smartest, I'm impressed, you pick your friends well.
Ive been thinking about marrying a fillapina lately. Salamat po for your videos!
Great video, Pea. You do look great in yellow! For some reason I kept thinking of lemon pie 😂. Always good to see the hottie lawyer who ALWAYS gives the best advice! You know so many intelligent, well spoken, beautiful Filipinas. Well, you know the old saying...Birds of a feather 🪶 flock together! Now starts the three day countdown
Great video but our main issue is the counseling session is a different day every month. We wanted to get married in December but the day of counseling is not decided until the month before. I am in the US and planning to take Dec off to marry my filipina. But the counseling is the hangup not knowing even when to set a date. Plus the marriage license takes 10 days.
you sound more knowledgeable than the lawyer. How r ur English skills so much better than everyone else’s?
Because I lived in England for 30 years also a union representative so I know quite a lot about British law , phillophines lawers only few now English law only a little , the rest live phillophines don’t have a clue about documents which are real or fake another said thing is the City Hall in phillophines don’t have real temple plates to show which is real or fake never been to British embassy to find out this very sad
You look a gorgeous bride in your thumbnail Pea.
Thanks for posting.
You did the video I requested, and said you would do! I am impressed, and so happy you did this one.
Just to clarify, so I know what I would be doing, lol...
What are MY requirements to be married in the Philippines, as a never married before male?
1) Provide the Office of the Civil Registrar with my legal capacity to marry form, obtained from my Embassy.
2) Get a CENOMAR form from the Philippines Statistics Authority.
3) Birth Certificate.
4) Passport.
5) Fill out a form at the Office of the Civil Registrar.
6) Attend a seminar (marriage counseling), in the Office of the Civil Registrar.
Then I'll be issues a marriage license?
hey pea,
since you are not afraid to tackle the tough issues, and you are more than happy to bring women onto your broadcast and get their opinions, I would love for you to do an episode about how to go about getting tested for sexually transmitted diseases, in anticipation of entering a relationship with a Filipina.
in conjunction with that information, I would love to see some interviews with some women about how they would feel about getting tested.
Another great video… thanks pea and gracy
I got Married in 1990 at Olongapo Lutheran Service Center. Luz had to attend a on Base wife Class. Since she was 24 all we needed was the License. So we been married over 31 years.
Pea looking absolutely stunning in that yellow ♥
Love how Pea's long beautiful hair is on her right side and Gracie's long beautiful hair was on her left side. Was this arranged?

I can honestly say that Gracie is the prettiest Filipina Lawyer I've ever met! TRUE FACT!
Gracie's husband is a very lucky man. Beauty and brains!
While your busy looking out for everybody else, I hope you find what you are looking for in life. Best wishes.
Fox out.
Thank you so much for the learning 🙏 of this when I do marry a Filipina I am never married in my early 40s but it's a lot of requirements great video miss pea!
the two coolest girls on utube hope you are doing great
Okay, I admit that I didn't listen to every word, especially since I don't need the info now. I'll bookmark it, just in case, for later reference -- under the Activities (Risk Level: *High* ) category. [Edited to change risk level after watching your latest video 😅]
Better late than never, but well worth the wait. Thanks Pea
You neglected to mention the long lead times needed to obtain certain documents. This is especially relevant when getting married on short notice. My filipina girlfriend and I got married in May 2024. To notarize an affidavit stating that I was eligible to get married, I had to wait SIX WEEKS for a notary appointment at the US consulate in Manila. Then, with all necessary documents in hand, the local civil registrar told us we had to wait 11 DAYS before receiving the marriage license. I nearly had to change my return flight to the US, but managed to have the wedding five days before departure. This was after waiting FIVE YEARS for my girlfriend to get her first marriage annulled. What a crazy country!
I will be there in July to marry my fiance this is a great video thanks pea!!!
