Just things to keep in mind if it matters to you. She would never be able to get a Philippines passport in her married name in addition if she became a US citizen and wanted to become a dual citizen she may run into problems there too! Other than that what folks have told you about the Hong Kong divorce is correct. These issues I have highlighted are on the Philippines side of the coin!

Not carved in stone.  I was married to a Filipina in 2006 in the US by K-1 visa. When I met her she was married to a Filipino, in a Philippines civil wedding, and had been abandoned by her spouse who went to the US by his mother's Dual citizenship.  She (we) divorced him in a Texas court using his residency there as basis of jurisdiction.  She then got a Philippines passport in her maiden name, went through the K-1 process without issue, and came to the US.  We married. She Got her US citizenship 3 years later, and got a US passport. Then she went to the Philippine Embassy and got dual citizenship, and then a Philippine passport in her new married name.  Never say never.
