I can't see that happening in the Phils Graham, the economy is far too dependent on westerners sending their extended Filipino family money

I disagree. The number of OFWs outweigh this. And actually how many westerners send money to their partners' extended family on a regular basis?

I'd like to see Philippines setting a requirement for Tagalog proficiency on any foreign partners wishing to marry people from the Philippines and also, may be impose a marriage tax which goes up every year.

Interesting view.
Bit like the UK really

Why only Philippines? Or is your view meant for all countries not considered 'English Speaking'

Not sure what you envisage with marriage tax.
Oh unless it's a marriage allowance that goes up every year.

Thankfully, I don't need to ... and - being a State Pensioner - couldn't afford to either!!

... as Fred points out ... by far the majority of Filipinas who marry westerners end up emigrating to English-speaking countries.
