How do I prove that my parents has strong family ties in the Philippines?

Hi all,

I'm going to have my parents apply for a family visit visa on the first week of September. I'm just a bit confused as to what type of documents can we provide to prove my parents are not going to overstay. My dad is retired & my mom is a housewife, they live a simple life so not much in the bank. I do support them monthly for their expenses.

it can be very difficult for some people, even if you have valid reasons to go back, still some are refused.

do they own property? a basic 'family tree' showing most of their family live in the phils :Erm:

Yes they have a house but currently lives in my dads ancestral house. My brother is using the other house with his wife.
