Were you naturalized before the divorce?    If NO being you were both Filipino when married you would have to complete the annulment process.  If you were a USC before the divorce you should be able to get the divorce recognized, which is still a court process.

I have heard mixed info regarding foreigners getting married in the Philippines after a divorce, some LCR accepted a copy of the divorce decree.  Being a former Filipino I would, almost, expect you to have issues without completing the recognition of divorce process.   There have never been any clear answers to this issue.   I have yet to find any clear answer on any of government website either.

 

You may have to contact the LCR where you would plan to marry and inquire with them.

 Not what I said.  I said you need to ask this question to the LCR.   There was a time when that was all that was necessary for foreigner.   

 

You may have to complete the recognition of divorce, which as I said earlier is a court process, you will need an attorney
