Although I am, admittedly, not familiar with Philippine Law, Divorce and Annulment are two entirely different legal processes. You probably can file for a divorce, but seriously doubt that you could have the marriage actually annulled. If your husband is not in the PI but is resident in the UK, it is not impossible, but it may prove somewhat more troublesome to comply with the legal steps.
AnswerActually, you need to obtain an annulment if you want to do it right since your British marriage isn't valid because you are already legally married in the Philippines. Although you maygo through life without it becoming known, your marital status could become an issue at any time, especially in the case of the death of your partner and your right to inheritance as his "spouse".
This is an extremely complicated legal question. You need expert legal advice since divorce is not available in the Philippines. In order to legally end a marriage in the Philippines there must be a court order declaring the marriage null and void. See the following for grounds for annulment and grounds for a declaration of nullity. Since you live in Britain you may have other options regarding divorce. See the related links for more information.
The grounds for annulment are:
- Lack of parental consent in certain circumstances
- Insanity at the time of the marriage
- Fraud
- Force, intimidation or undue influence
- Impotence
- Sexually transmitted disease at the time of the marriage
The grounds for a declaration of nullity are:
- Minority- below the age of consent
- Lack of authority of solemnizing officer
- Absence of marriage license
- bigamous or polygamous marriage
- Mistake in identity
- Failure to record an annulment
- Incestuous marriage
- Void by reason of public policy
- Psychological incapacity

You are a British citizen your wife is a Filipino citizen you got married in the Philippines after 2.5 years of marriage and 6 months of separation can you file a divorce in HongKong?
I dont think you can file a divorce case in Hongkong because both of you are not citizens of Hongkong. I suggest you file an annulment case in the Philippines. There is no divorce in the Philippines but annulment has the same effect as divorce. Your marriage will be declared null and void from the beginning. It will take 3 months to finish. the costs would be 200k more or less.

Why do early marriage can result to annulment?
A Catholic annulment is only available to someone who can prove that no valid marriage ever existed the first time around. Early marriage would have no bearing on the matter. Added: A legal annulment can occur when one party can prove that the marriage was not entered freely and voluntarily. For example, if one party was under the influence or married under duress. Sometimes a very young person who is married can show that he/she entered the marriage at the insistence of another person and felt that he/she did not have a choice, and will therefore assert that the marriage was entered under duress and seek an annulment.
Does the annulment of previous marriage make the subsequent marriage valid?
No. Once someone has a marriage annulled in civil court the parties are free from each other and any subsequent marriage is valid as long as the subsequent marriage took place afterthe first marriage was annulled.A marriage that was entered while one of the parties was still married (which would be the case prior to an annulment) is null and void. A subsequent annulment of that first marriage would not "cure" the second one. The parties must arrange to get married legally.
