Before you do anything, check out the local filipino community and see if they can help with advice.\n\nIf you want to go there, do your homework on where you're going. If, for example you intend to settle in Palawan or Mindoro the chances are you'll get kidnapped unless you have bodyguards. Manila is OK but again, areas are dangerous expecially at night. Best option is somewhere like Baggio, Tagatay, Quezon City or Angeles City. you can live very well there on a monthly income of £400, as long as your accomodation is paid for, i.e you own a decent house. Remember the PI is a developing country so theres no constant electricity, Water is pulled up from a deep well and utilities are unreliable.\nEnglish is very widely spoken in PI, mostly at basic level but certainly enough so you don't have to learn Tagalog. The traffic, corruption and way of life suits some, but not all. Best advice is to go there a few times yourself, bring her here on a tourist Visa a couple of times (you need to provide funds in her A/C for that) and go from there.\n\nMake sure you have all the Visa regs sorted out, an overstay makes her persona non grata. for you ging there , there are visa rules but there are ways around it through corruption.\n\nIf she comes here and improves her English then she can qualify for a work permit after 2 years (I think) and find gainful employment. Local filipino communities are very helpful and easy to find, pin a notice up in your local hospital where there are probably numerous Filipino nurses, or simply ask someone.\n\nAlso, if you bring her here she will want to call home all the time (boredom, homesickness) so get a load of cheap international phonecards. \nGood luck

She's trying to enter America LEGALLY.  She can always reschedule.  It's not the Philipinos that are the problem, though.  The do speak our language as well as Tagalog and other Dialects, and are highly intelligent.  If she's a Nurse, she can get a Visa with no problem.  As you know we are low on Medical Personnel.

what we learned (me as a filipino) from the americans,I guess,is the fondness of the filipino people to learn and speak english,if not all,because obviously,we are one of the top countries that speak english fluently and/or where english language was widely spoken,so i think english language was the one that we really inherited from the americans.....yey......pero siyempre di dapat natin makalimutan magsalita ng tagalog...di ba? (yeah you mispelled the Philippines....but its ok,maybe next time)

Hi, i'm from the Ateneo de Manila University... I'm not a foreigner (since I'm a Filipino) but I can definitely say that Ateneo is one of the best language schools you can get into in the Philippines... I've heard some of the foreigners who go here speak English, and they seem to be doing pretty well, if you don't mind the strong accent.. And I know I won't be your best source but I know that there has been a sudden increase in the number of foreigners, especially Koreans, who want to learn English here... And this has resulted to an increase in the number of schools, businesses, and organizations, who provide teaching services... \n\nGood luck!

Really casting the net far aren't you?  What country are you trying to escape from?  My guess the phillipines.  Good luck finding a "friend".\n\nJust go to a chat room entitled Australia or Google "Australia chat".
