No. Although we often hear stories about that happening, and some married couples separate without court involvement, married parents have equal parental rights. One has no legalright to take the children away from their other parent. That would require a court order.
The parent that left with the children would need to file a petition in court for divorce, if that is desired, or sole custody. The court will decide where the children should be and issue a temporary custody order until the court can evaluate the situation, hear testimony, review evidence and render a final decision regarding custody, visitation and child support.
The abandoned parent should consult with an attorney or a legal advocate at the family court.

The man should consult with an attorney who specializes in marriage law who can review the details and explain the options. Rights depend on the details and whether there is a determination of who is the offending spouse. There is no divorce in the Philippines. Generally, a decree of separation gives the right to live separately, extinguishes the conjugal partnership, awards custody of the minor children to the unoffending spouse, awards child support and disqualifies the offending spouse from inheriting from the estate of the other spouse.

There is no need to sue your spouse, but you do have the right to file for divorce and in some states half of what he owns will go to you if you have the right lawyer. The person your spouse is having the affair with can be named as to the reason you are applying for a divorce. It would be wise of you to seek legal counsel to see what your options are.
