Unfortunately, you were told wrong.  Divorce in the Philippines under Sharia law is only possible for marriages solemnized under Sharia law.  This is stated under Article 13 of PD 1083 (Code of Muslim Personal Laws of the Philippines) -- "The provisions of this Title shall apply to marriage and divorce wherein both parties are Muslims, or wherein only the male party is a Muslim and the marriage is solemnized in accordance with Muslim law or this Code in any part of the Philippines."

 

If you were married in the Philippines through Catholic rites, PD 1083 does not apply to your marriage.  The marriage laws that apply to you are those in the Family Code, which does not recognize divorce between two non-Muslim non-dual-citizen Filipinos married in Philippines.

 

I recommend you seek out a trustworthy family lawyer in the Philippines to explore your legal options.

 

   This is simply not true. According to Article 178, of PD 1083 (Code of Muslim Personal Laws of the Philippines). Effect of conversion to Islam on marriage. The conversion of non-Muslim spouses to Islam shall have the legal effect of ratifying their marriage as if the same had been performed in accordance with the provisions of this Code or Muslim law, provided that there is no legal impediment to the marriage under Muslim law.
