I am not a lawyer but have researched this extensively.   Bigamy is not a problem... The crime act of getting married the '2nd' time in the foreign country was allowed under that countries laws and is not bigamy under laws of the Philippines because the '2nd' marriage is not legal in the philippines.   Likewise if a person from the Phlippines goes to a foreign country and commits a crime in that country (say for example steals a car in the USA) then the Phlippines has no jurisdiction to prosecute that crime.

However,  if the Filipino 'ex-spouse' is especially vindictive and the Filipino returns to the the Philippines with their spouse in and lives in the Philippines with that person then while Bigamy is not an option to be prosecuted there is the possibility of charges of Concubinage or Adultery for both the Filipino and the Foreigner  while they are in the Philippines.  It the plan in the future is to return to live in the Philippines or visit long term as a couple then consider annulment or hope that the government finally passes a divorce law.    Adultery comes with 6 years in prison so it's not a trivial thing no matter how unlikely it is. 

It is the right time to impose divorce law here in the Philippines...
