USC siblings from Philippines takes about 2 decades.   Faster if parents can do it.   Speed will be determined by the ages if your Siblings 

YMMV

Are they married?

Thank you! 

If they are married, your parents cannot sponsor them while they are green card holders. They will have to become citizens first. It takes 5 years (possibly longer depending on processing times) to become citizens, and then the category for married children of USCs from Philippines currently has a wait time exactly the same as a sibling visa, nearly 20 years. So in this particular instance it would be faster for you to file a sibling visa.
