If it was a legal marriage, not just a ceremony, then it will void the K1 petition and they will have to file for a spousal visa.

An acquaintance of mine filed for a K1 visa and got married here in manila, what will happen to their petition?

They would have to file a new petition for an immigrant visa for a spouse. He has to fill out form I-130 and follow all instructions on the form Unfortunately, he also has to pay a new fee of $420.00 to file this form, and obtain a new priority date. Do not attempt to circumvent the process and pretend that the marriage did not occur.

Their petition is no longer valid, as they are no longer single and free to marry; they are a married couple now.

I may have stated this too quickly without researching it so I would back track on my statement that you'd be given a new priority date. I do not know this for sure but you may be able to retain your former priority date. Someone else with this experience might be able to tell you.

No, you were correct. The K-1 would no longer be a valid option for them and they would have to start over from the beginning and file for a spousal visa instead.
