Philippine law favors wives in property rights
In the Philippines the property regime for married people heavily favors the wife. A bride can retain control of her assets, and a poor husband can only be an administrator of her possessions. Upon death, unless a deed in favor of the husband is executed, her estate passes to her children and relatives, not the husband. Married women keep their maiden names and add the husband’s name with the prefix de, while children bear both parents' names.
