Separation of property may refer to present or future property or both. It may be

total or partial. In the latter case, the property not agreed upon as separate shall
pertain to the absolute community. (Family Code of the Philippines, Article
144)

Each spouse shall own, dispose of, possess, administer and enjoy his or her own
separate estate, without need of the consent of the other. To each spouse shall
belong all earnings from his or her profession, business or industry and all
fruits, natural, industrial or civil, due or received during the marriage from his or
her separate property. (Family Code of the Philippines, Article 144)

order to put on effect or else absolute community of property regime will apply.
