Ang Batas, Sa Simpleng Salita — your rights, finally explained.

Title IV — Property Relations Between Husband and Wife

Article 123

EO 209 · Family Code of the Philippines

ELI5— what this means for you

Criminal fines and civil indemnities imposed on either spouse are chargeable to their exclusive property. If that is insufficient, the conjugal partnership may be liable — but only up to the benefit it received.

Official text — EO 209

Whatever may be lost during the marriage in any game of chance or in betting, sweepstakes, or any other kind of gambling whether permitted or prohibited by law, shall be borne by the loser and shall not be charged to the conjugal partnership but any winnings therefrom shall form part of the conjugal partnership property. (164a)
