My wife is a 10 year green card holder and is actually just waiting for her to get scheduled for an interview for us citizenship.

 

We are traveling back to the Philippines April 2017 with my US citizen daughter and myself who is a naturalized citizen also. 

 

My question is should we be worried about traveling back to the Philippines for vacation and then posibly my wife having problems coming back ? Please help.

If it's just for a couple of weeks, you should be fine. I actually had a friend who was a 10-yr green card holder visit me in Canada for a couple of weeks, returning to the US just two days before his citizenship interview and he's now naturalized. As a green card holder, you don't need to be paroled and as long as your trip is short, it should not affect your wifes naturalization.

I am just curious of this 10 yr green card holder Is there any problem of going for a vacation of what had happened now that the new Administration has lots of changes regarding entering back to the USA, like rallies this week at the airports and they were banned of coming back? I knew there were only 7 countries, what if when you are on vacation the new Admin will ban some other countries again?

That's an unfortunate risk of the Trump Administration, they're unpredictable, but I doubt the Philippines will be one of those countries.

I'd follow the news closer to April. Travel if things are relatively calm here in the US, but defer if there's any risk affecting green card holders. As it is, things are changing day by day.
