Just want to share this with you guys, according to Mr. Wikipedia Adultery or also called as philandery or cheating...  In the Philippines, adultery (defined as consensual sexual intercourse between a married woman and a man who is not her husband) and a related act of Concubinage (a man cohabiting with a woman who is not his wife), are considered crimes under the Revised Penal Code of the Philippines.

According from the Famli.blogspot by Atty. Gerry T. Galacio:

[1] Under the Revised Penal Code, adultery cannot be committed by the husband; it is a crime committed by the wife and her paramour.

[2] Concubinage is committed by a husband in several ways:

• by keeping a mistress in the conjugal dwelling; or
• by having sexual intercourse under scandalous circumstances with a woman who is not his wife; or
• by cohabiting with his mistress in any other place.

[3] If a husband wants to file an adultery case against his wife, he must also charge the paramour. In the same way, a wife must file the case for concubinage against her husband and his mistress; she cannot charge the mistress alone.

[4] Maximum penalty for adultery is imprisonment of six years. Maximum penalty for concubinage for the husband is four years and one day; penalty for the mistress is destierro (exile).

[5] Since concubinage is difficult to prove in court, the wife should instead file a case of psychological violence under RA 9262.

[6] The penalty for "psychological violence" under RA 9262 is a minimum of six years up to twelve years of imprisonment. The maximum penalty is imposed if the violence is committed by the husband or the intimate partner against the woman when she is pregnant or in the presence of their children.

Sabi nila, sa Adultery daw may nakulang at napatunayan na guilty while sa concubinage eh wala pa din daw till now nakukulong. Not guilty sila?! ganon kahit may evidence? parang unfair ata un ah?!
