Legal Question in Family Law in Philippines

i had a secret marriage in 1987. it was never really a marriage since my wife left the next day for US. we lost contact after a month. in 1993 i got married again. however it did not work out. just recently, i filed for an annulment case for my two marriage. the ground for my 1st marriage was psychological incapacity and for my 2nd marriage it was "bigamous marriage". my question is, what happens if my first marriage got annuled, will it make my second marriage automatically legal?

please advise.

thank you

No. A bigamous marriage can never be convalidated even if your first marriage will be declared null and void.
