<p>I would do all I could to get an undergraduate degree from the US: attend a community college for the first two years if it seems more feasible. I’m sure it’s not impossible. My two kids have spent close to a decade abroad and there was no way I would put them in a Philippine university. What put me off was that they would both have to take college-level subjects in Filipino - I did this in my own university days and it was an unnecessarily painful experience, since I also grew up overseas.
On the other hand, I do have friends who did their undergrad in reputable universities in the Philippines and went on to do well in graduate schools in the US and Europe. There is an advantage in having this kind of “international” experience on your resume, if you’re looking at a career that values a global perspective.</p>
