If you marry a local woman in the Philippines, you have a local marriage certificate. Do you still need to register a marriage certificate in China after you bring it back to China?

A: Yes, although you are married in the Philippines and have a marriage certificate, this marriage certificate will only be recognized by the Philippines and will not be recognized by China. Unless you take the Philippine marriage certificate to double certification (certification by the Philippine Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the certification by the Chinese Embassy in the Philippines), then return home to board the foreign marriage registration office and obtain the Chinese marriage certificate, so that China will recognize your marriage relationship.
