    Philippines: Should we file Report of Marriage?

    My spouse is a filipina residing in Taiwan. We got married there last April, she has been approved (outland) & will be arriving in Canada in May to be with me. Just wondering if there is any point in registering the marriage with Philippine authorities. We'll be living in Canada.
