They will have to apply for a tourist visa at the embassy and the chances are good if they show ties to Philippines that will most likely return, such as a home, bank accounts, proof of employment. Good Luck.

Nobody can tell what their chances are, let them apply and we will see. Just be sure that they can establish a strong tie to the Philippines.

Just an update, in case someone's family are also planning to apply for visa to attend their wedding. My family got approved with a multiple/10 visa. My dad works for a big oil company in the Philippines and my mom and sister have their own businesses while my younger sister is a student. They weren't asked at all for bank statements/financial proofs. The consul was more concerned w/ their ties to Philippines that would compel them to come back and they also checked my name in the fiance visa database.
