Iloilo
Most annulment guides in the Philippines are written for the whole country, so they stop exactly where the practical questions begin. Which court in Iloilo actually hears the petition? Where is the Hall of Justice? What if you live in Passi, or Guimbal, or Dubai?
These guides answer the local half. They are general legal information, not legal advice, and court assignments do change, so anything time-sensitive here should be confirmed with the Office of the Clerk of Court before you rely on it.
