Then

for

the

introduction

is

the

and

civilization

one

of

the

few

indigenous

people.

The flowing part is the marital issues in Philippines.

Philippines

in

all

the

traditional

marriage

customs

of

ethnic great differences.

Most

of

the

Filipinos

in

general

free

love

marriage.

Married

in a ceremony held in the church.

Philippines Muslim marriage by her parents decide. The man

to

go

through

a

matchmaker

to

the

woman's

family

raised

marriage,

bride

price

and

delivery.

Wedding

ceremony

presided

over

by

the

Imam of the Islamic and held a grand banquet in honor of the

guests.

And

the

indigenous

people

of

diverse

customs.

Those

Philippines

to

implement

early

marriage,

12-year-old

girl

will

be regarded as having attained the age of marriage.

Pakistan to allow people to pay even more than marriage,

prohibition of marriage between cousins is, as the latter has

the

relationship

between

the

people

want

to

get

married,

we

must

make

some

measures

and

ceremony,

a

number

of

valuables such as the middle thrown into the sea.

In

Negritos'

marriage,

men

must

make

bow

and

arrow

to

be

shot

in the women's distance of the bamboo tube placement, in the

absence of shot, or that man can not afford to feed his wife

and marry him it would be difficult to achieve.

Also in the Philippines, the civil law said a man can have

four wives at most.(

What an amazing!)

And the following great length is the legal structure of

Philippines

。

In Philippines

，

the President is the head of state, heads

of

government

and

commander-in-chief

of

the

armed

forces.

Just

similar to USA way.

The

highest

legislative

institution

is

Parliament,

voted

by

the Senate and the House. Senate owns 24 members with direct

national

elections

for

a

term

of

6

years,

elections

every

three

years,1

/

2

to

two

consecutive

terms.

The

House

has

250

members,

200

of

them

choosed

by

the

provinces

and

municipalities

according to population distribution across the country;25

appointed

by

political

parties who

is

winning

in

the

election

and

the

other

25

appointed

by

the

president.

The

House's

Representatives

for

a

term

of

three

years,

and

can

be

re-elected

for three terms.

And

talk

about

the

Judiciary.

Ownership

of

the

Supreme

Court

is Justice and the courts at all levels. The Supreme Court is

in

charged

by

the

Chief

Justice

and

a

jury

of

14

judges,

appointed by the president, they have the highest judicial

power;

under

the

Court

of

Appeals,

are

the

District

Courts

and

the Courts of town.

The next part is the legal system of Philippines

。

Philippines

had

been

suffered

by

Spain

&

the

United

States ,and occupation in the area of the law and therefore

subject to its sovereign state, to varying degrees, but it is

in

the

Philippines

for

Spain's

legal

system

previously

in

force

in the transformation of customs, or the United States legal

system to

replace

the old Spanish

legal system,

that is

a

slow

process.

Philippines

is

in

both

the

interactive

effects

of

the

rule of law in the formation of a unique legal system, the
