Hello bhem_bhem, welcome to the forum
Are you thinking of a Catholic ceremony (convalidation)?
Are you thinking here in UK or are you considering in the Philippines?
You first step must be to contact the church you plan to use and to seek advice from there. There can be quite a few issues to talk through.
As you know, the church looks upon marriage as more of a spiritual reality, rather than just a contractual legal formality.
Good luck with your plans.
My wife and I have been married 3 times in 3 different countries. The last time was a church wedding in the Philippines.
She gets 3 anniversary gifts each year

Now that I read your post again I can see that you want it in the Philippines.
Sorry for my mistake there.
There are a few members here who have done that as I recall. Hopefully they'll reply here with their experience.
Have you tried to do a search ?
Are you intended to marry in a church from your home town?
If so you could always contact the local priest. I'm pretty sure he will have an e-mail. Most of the priests seem to be well equipped with good gadgets.
I'll try to do a search for you later.
But I think if your husband is not Catholic you'll need to communicate carefully with your priest.

It's absolutely no problems for a non catholic to marry a catholic in the church. That link I posted explains a little more about that.

The conversion process to catholism isn't a quick one.

My wife and i where married in the catholic church in the Philippines in the 90,s. I needed to have my baptismal certificate sent over from the UK before the wedding. You can get married in a non catholic church much easier.

C. For Single Foreigners:
1. Civil Status Certificate from the respective Consulate/Embassy (CNI)
2. Permit/Recommendations from Catholic Parish (even if the foreigner belongs to other religious sects since he/she is marrying a Catholic this time)
3. Baptismal Certificate (for Catholic persons)
4. Confirmation Certificate (for Catholic persons)
5. Birth Certificate for non-Catholics
1. Couples are required to undergo Pre-Cana Seminar
2. For mixed-marriages (Catholic and non-Catholic) dispensation must be secured. Banns are no longer required according to Canon Law.
3. Please wear decent attire when you come for the interview.
4. To ease some problems beforehand, consultations may be made at the Chancery long before the marriage is to be scheduled.

presumably as your already married, you would only need to produce the civil marriage certificate
