HB 3061
House·20th Congress·Filed Aug 5, 2025
An Act Amending Executive Order No. 209, Otherwise Known as the Family Code of the Philippines, on Property Relations Between Husband and Wife, and Support, and for Other Purposes
In plain language
The bill changes the Family Code so that only assets bought after a couple gets married become community property, while anything owned before marriage (including inheritances or gifts) stays separate. It also adds new reasons—such as a spouse’s crime or abandonment—to end the community, and gives the husband the final say on how the property is managed if the couple disagrees.
