Hi Chris Im about to return to the UK you dont say how long you have been around Cebu, One good method , especialy as you have unlimited time is to meet up with ex-pats who have already married here.
Their wives families often have ladies who are looking for a serious relationship and its easy to get the picture on the attitudes in that family from the husbands and their friends here
Unless the lady has a good job of her own they inevitably want some support for their parents ...at least but that doesnt have to be beyond what they would send if they were working.
My partner sends her mum 2000piso a month from her own earnings ,she could send more if she liked
