If they contracted the marriage here in the Philippines then you can sue them for Bigamy.But if they got married outside the Philippines and they returned here to live as husband and wife then you can sue them for concubinage and adultery.And for violation of RA 9262 because marital infidelity is a form of psychological violence. You can also sue your father for abandonment.
