No. Civil status (i.e. being single or married) is governed by the law of your citizenship. In this case, a Filipino citizen is governed by Philippine law as regards his/her civil status. Therefore, if he/she wants to be free of those marriage ties, he/she must avail of annulment of marriage in the Philippines. Unless he/she becomes a US citizen later on, he/she may properly file for divorce in the US courts.
