    Well obviously the vast majority marry other Filipino's.
    The latest data available is for 2007 and this actually shows a total of 490,054 weddings of which only a very small 8,300 were to foreigners.
    That's a very tiny 0.017 percent.

    It seems most of these 8,300 'foreign' weddings were between Filipinas and Japanese grooms (2,916)

    There's no mention of British grooms, but American grooms represented 1,015 marriages.

    No wonder it's still a complex undertaking for us.

    Here is the link to the very short story:-

    Wonder what they mean with:-
    "Filipina brides and Filipino grooms (2,763)"

    Maybe dual citizens? Mm
