I think your girlfriend if you decide to marry her in the Philippines will want it where she lives as she will want her family & friends there and if you have it in Manila you will have to pay for them all to go there.

Maybe the paperwork would be quicker in Manila but it will be her big day so forget about having it there would be my suggestion!!
