ADULTERY Carnal knowledge may be proved by circumstantial evidence.

Rule 133, Sec. 4. Circumstantial evidence, when sufficient. Circumstantial evidence is sufficient for conviction if: y There is more than one circumstance; y The facts from which the inferences are derived are proven; and y The combination of all the circumstances is such as to produce a conviction beyond reasonable doubt.

THE UNITED STATES vs. FABIANA LEGASPI and PAULINO PULONGBARET, G.R. L-No. 5110 August 19, 1909 The finding in the possession of a married woman of several love letters signed by her paramour; their having been seen together in different places, and finally, the fact that they were surprised in a well-known assignation house which the accused woman admitted having visited six times in company with the former, are data and indications sufficient to convict them both of the crime of adultery; because, as the supreme court of Spain says, "it shows without doubt not only thier illicit relations but also such acts as constitute adultery and are the consequence of said relations."

THE UNITED STATES vs. MARGARITA FELICIANO, G.R. No. L-12724 , August 10, 1917

A photograph shows their intimate relations. A witness testified to having seen the accused and Velasquez in scant apparel and sleeping together. The woman and her paramour had the opportunity to satisfy their adulterous inclination. We think that a finding to the effect that Velasquez and the accused had carnal relations is sufficiently in accord with the probabilities of the case and the proof.

The fact that a married woman accused of adultery became pregnant during a time when her husband was absent might be admissible to demonstrate that someone other than her spouse had the opportunity of engaging in illicit sex with her. Letters in which the accused parties have written about their amorous feelings or clandestine encounters may be introduced in court to support the assertion that the parties had the inclination to engage in sexual relations. Evidence of a woman's sexual relationships with men other than the party to the adultery generally cannot be used; however, if her reputation as a prostitute can be demonstrated, it may be offered as evidence.

CONCUBINAGE

Keeping a mistress in the conjugal dwelling no positive proof of actual intercourse necessary
LUIS OCAMPO vs. THE PEOPLE OF THE PHILIPPINES, G.R. No. L-47756 June 10, 1941 petitioner's conduct with his coaccused was not confined to isolated interviews for unlawful intercourse. He and his coaccused dwelt together as husband and wife in the same house in Naga, Camarines Sur, where they were seen attending shows and dances; again, in Tiwi, Albay, they dwelt together as husband and wife in the same house for seven days and nights where they slept together and alone in one room. We are of the opinion and so hold that such association is sufficient to constitute a cohabitation within the meaning of the law even disregarding proofs of actual sexual intercourse. http://www.lawphil.net/judjuris/juri1941/jun1941/gr_l-47756_1941.html
