You can buy whichever you prefer. It makes no difference as far as Immigration is concerned. My fiancee entered on a one-way ticket, though a roundtrip cost not that much more.

Depends on what ticket is cheaper. Unless you want to spend more on a transferable round way ticket and sell the ticket back to the Philippines to somebody else. My girlfriend once did that.

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all . . . . The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic . . . . There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.

We bought a R/T ticket (600 $ cheaper!) and simply did not use the return portion. I cannot understand why a R/T is so much cheaper than 1 way..............

I was checking prices around the last of April/first of May time. A one way ticket from MNL to LAX on China Air was $537 + tax. I think it's $613 with the taxes. You can't beat that price!!

Whichever's cheaper, typically one-way.

Try Mobissimo, onetravel.com, and bt-store.com for comparisons.
